The 7 Times Square Building will be the site of the new corporate office for Ann Taylor, a well respected, leading retailer for today's professional woman. VP's, CEO's, posh furniture and Italian glass fronts epitomize the style and culture which has propelled Ann Taylor to the forefront of the women's apparel industry.
Often with new construction, concrete pours frequently result in sub-floors out of tolerance, unsuitable for furniture, floor covering, etc. and is 99% of the time not the fault of the concrete contractor. Nevertheless, for every problem there is a DRYTEK™ solution. And that's exactly what Ann Taylor got.
Consolidated Carpet Workroom LLCs' Richard DiCosta chose DRYTEK™ for several reasons; topography of the slab, existing cracks in the slab and minimal surface preparation (no shotblasting). The 150,000 square foot project was spread out over ten floors, and was by no means your run-of-the-mill self leveling job. There were approximately twelve offices on each floor, all of which were to receive custom made sliding glass office fronts extending from the headers down to and flush with the floor. Not to be overshadowed were several other floors featuring rooms approximately 30 X 60 with two accordion walls descending from the ceiling, coming down to and running flush with the floor. These made to order walls had roughly 3/16 of an inch tolerance, and ran the entire width of the room. Predictably, a significant portion of this job was going to have to be dead level. Ordinarily, a laser would be used to pin the floor, consuming valuable time, a minimum of two or three men, a tripod, a red laser beam whipping round and round, and most importantly just eight measurements within an inch. Rich DiCosta however, opted to use the DRYTEK™ Floormaster. The DRYTEK™ Floormaster is a silicon/gas, pressure sensitive, floor leveling device calibrated in millimeters (25mm = 1 inch or 3.125mm = 1/8 of an inch). Thereby allowing Mr. DiCosta to level each and every floor with precision accuracy (1/24 of an inch); in a fraction of the time it would take to pin with a laser. The Floormaster is dream come true commented one of Consolidated's employees. This device is a one man operation, and can also assist in determining quantities of material needed for any job. We are DRYTEK™, on the cutting edge and steadfast in our determination to redefine the floor leveling world!
