The Need for High-Performance Flooring
With Stavis Seafood processing over 37 million pounds of seafood annually and serving a global market, the need for a high-performance flooring system was paramount.
The floor had to withstand constant heavy traffic, potential chemical spills, temperature fluctuations, and rigorous cleaning protocols, making urethane cement the ideal choice for its durability, resistance to thermal shock, and ease of maintenance.

The process began with grinding the existing concrete floor to prepare the surface, followed by repairing cracks and imperfections to ensure a smooth application. The urethane cement base provided a robust and resilient layer, effectively sealing the floor and providing superior protection against industrial challenges.

Led by Ken Bonney, owner of New England Floor and Wall, the installation process was meticulously planned and executed. The team’s expertise with Neogard’s products ensured a flawless application, meeting both the functional and aesthetic requirements of Stavis Seafood.
