Imber Akse House, Burlington, Ontario

Surface Design Systems was asked to take part in the development and installation of a decorative concrete topping, suitable to incorporate hydronic in-floor heating with even dispersion of warm subtle heat throughout, coupled with the ability to take the everyday punishment a family of 4 would exhibit over this specialty type flooring, while offering a decorative finished appearance appealing to one’s eye.

Canadian Museum of Inuit Art

Our client was looking for a brilliant white concrete topping to simulate the arctic as part of the design concept- one that would also accentuate several magnificent art pieces reflecting the history of the Inuit people of the Great White North.

Urban Jazz- Mississauga, Ontario

This floor will never lose its natural colour. With Ardex toppings there is endless creativity. Urban Jazz wanted a piano effect and we used Ardex engineered SD-T cement technology utilizing grey and white toppings with black colloidal tints to acheive the desired appearance.

Designers Walk- Toronto, Ontario

Designers Walk was looking for a clean, sleek concrete floor, decoratively combined with carpeted inlays. For this, we installed Ardex SD-T concrete topping with 4' by 4' reveals. Even the most discriminating of customers will be impressed with the smooth, flat qualities offered by Ardex SD-T.

Uvalux- Woodstock, Ontario

Here we utilized Ardex SD-T decorative toppings to create integral colour sections.

Niagara College - St. Catharines, Ontario

“For several years we have experienced problems with the floor covering in the After Hours SAC building… Upon investigation it was found that moisture was causing the sealant between the flooring material and concrete to break down due to excessive moisture content. To date there has been no evidence that a moisture issue exists or is the cause of any floor covering material failure.”
-Bart Lanni, Technologist

Garrison Village Centre - Fort Erie, Ontario

The ownership group wanted vibrant colors for the front podium of their wishing well waterfall. To accommodate this request, we installed Ardex CDT Concrete Dressing in brilliant copper and black tones, creating the base effect of the waterfall system. For added distinction, the entire decorative outlay was raised 1/4" off the existing concrete and sealed with water base sealers for added protection.

East Side Marios - Welland, Ontario

East Side Marios wanted the look of mottled soft tones in two different translucent colors. To achieve this, we topically treated the Ardex SD-T with 100% epoxy technology to realize the two colorants, then sealed it to a satin sheen. This creative design is one of many venues available when installing Ardex SD-T concrete topping as a finished floor.

Mohawk College Restaurant - Hamilton, Ontario

Designed with a unique flair in 3 different integral colors of Ardex SD-T, the Arnie Restaurant floor represents the versatility Ardex offers in liquid applied flooring. According to Kim Van Louwe of Food Services, this floor was a good investment and has stood the test of time, especially in view of the elements the school has utilized it for.
