Kuhlman’s Yard 4 Updates Showroom Floor with a DIY Project

It had been more than fourteen years since Kuhlman Corporation last updated the flooring in its Yard 4 showroom. The concrete floor features a decorative design cut into it, but the sealing lacked the vibrancy that today’s products and equipment can produce. So, in February, the Yard 4 team began a two-month restoration project.

“We wanted to showcase a ground-polished, sealed floor,” says Dwayne Palmer, the store’s Operations Manager. “It’s what we call a grind, dye, and shine project.”

The undertaking would demonstrate decorative concrete’s visually pleasing and low-maintenance benefits, even in a high-traffic retail location.

Of course, refinishing a busy store’s flooring meant performing most work late at night and on weekends. It was worth it, as the project provided a valuable training opportunity.

“When we started the project, we had some newer counter salespeople at Yard 4,” recalls Dwayne. “Their involvement in the work taught them about the dyes and equipment we used, and now they can better answer questions from contractors and do-it-yourselfers.”

Completed in March, the new floor adds to the stamped, stenciled, stained, and colored decorative concrete samples on display at the Reynolds Road store.
