Rez-Stone 5017 Combats Heavy & Corrosive Batteries

Posted by Tony Corsini on 9/30/22 10:40 AM

Project

This facility sought our help to make their old beat-up floor look new again. When viewing the warehouse, they had a considerable amount of material that could cause severe damage to a regular floor, like heavy and corrosive batteries. Good thing our Rez-Stone epoxy has a few different options to choose from for this scenario! But, the most important item here is the integrity of the existing coating that has seen much better days. A simple, cost-effective recoat is an option if the existing coating is stuck. However, if the existing coating is not still wholly adhered, then the coating must be removed entirely before the new layer can be applied.

The Venues Toledo: Wedding Venue & Event Spaces

Posted by Tony Corsini on 10/22/21 9:30 AM

The Venues is a place where you can host events and weddings in multiple spaces. (500 guests using their multi-room layout!) It was once a downtown warehouse here in Toledo, but it has been elegantly turned into a cool event venue with an industrial feel. Their most recent addition added yet another spot, perfect for wedding ceremonies and rehearsal dinners. Hoover Wells was lucky enough to help get this room ready for a bride's big day.

"The Venues is like no other event venue in the city of Toledo. Nestled in the heart of downtown, our large open rooms have high ceilings, concrete floors, and exposed brick walls. We provide the perfect minimalist backdrop that can be transformed to suit your style and wedding vision. We believe in providing a non-traditional venue, so our clients have more options to make the space uniquely their own." - venuestoledo.com
