Bikram Yoga - SOHO, NY, NY

 

Before:

 

Bikram Yoga NYC opened its doors in August 1999 and became Manhattan's first Bikram Yoga Studio! This is the entryway to a new studio opening in Soho, NYC. The owners called Sandless Finish to have the hardwood floors of the studio restored. The previous owners of the space did not properly maintain the wood floors and dirt and debris was embedded into the wood. This caused the floors to have an overall dull and lifeless appearance.

 

This photo shows an area where a rushed patching was performed by a previous contractor. The wood was not stained to match the rest of the hardwood flooring and no polyurethane was applied for protection. Our Specialists would have to use our Custom Sandless Finish Color Blending technique to restore the area.

The area by the bathrooms had the same problems as the rest of the hardwood flooring. The new owners needed the wood floors to reflect the warm and encouraging environment that Bikram Yoga Studios strive to achieve. All soils and discoloration needed to be removed from the hardwood floors in order to restore them to their original, healthy condition!

 

 

The reception area's hardwood flooring had retained the same soils and resultant dulling as the rest of the studio space.

 

The back office had a lot of residual paint left on the wood flooring from previous contractors and would need to be restored as well.

 

After:

 

With the use of our specialized floor machines and strong reacting solutions, our Sandless Finish Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process removed all of the dirt and debris from the floors. Utilizing unique grinding materials with the machines, our specialists were able to remove surface scratches from the floor - all with absolutely no dust!

 

A close-up of the section of wood flooring by the elevators highlights the results achieved by our Sandless Finish Hardwood Floor Refinishing Specialists. After the floors were cleaned and sanitized, multiple layers of a high quality, commercial grade polyurethane were applied to the hardwood floors to achieve a uniform shine and assure protection from the heavy traffic the studio would soon receive!

 

This previously unfinished section of flooring now blends seamlessly in with the rest of the studio! Using our Custom Sandless Finish Color Blending technique, our Specialists created a custom stain to match the section to the rest of the flooring!

 

This area previously displayed an abundance of paint splashes and soils in the wood. All were removed using our Sandless Finish Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process to restore the wood floor to the beautiful condition seen in the photo!

 

The area by the bathroom is now completely sanitized and has a warm and inviting look for the Bikram Yoga Studio clientele.

 

The reception room has the same healthy look as the rest of the studio's hardwood flooring!

Finally, all of the paint and soils were removed from the back office as well. This Bikram Yoga Studio's hardwood floors now have a warm and inviting feel that will be enjoyed for many years to come by the studio's clients. The owners were very excited about the restoration and can not wait to open their doors to the public!
