Project Strategy
When the College of Southern Nevada decided to add a Health & Sciences building to their Henderson Campus, they called on CORE Construction for the expansive build-out. Having worked on and partnered with CORE on many projects over the years, Master Craft Floors was chosen to assist with budgeting and product development. During this process, Master Craft was able to introduce a product, relatively new to the market, called Duracryl/Corques Liquid Lino. Master Craft invited the GC and designer to its office along with the CLL team and demonstrated the product being installed into 2 of their offices. The discussion and list of attributes (no seams, reduced install time, reduced cost, Red-List Free product) was a win-win solution and the product was specified in lieu of a sheet good for over 28,000 SF of the project.
The original design elements of borders and long linear accents made the installation especially challenging. Master Craft performed multiple test runs in their warehouse, as well as two on-site mock-ups while tweaking their installation techniques of this new product. By the time the project kicked off, Master Craft's team was up to the demands and executed flawlessly.
Master Craft Floors loves being involved in building foundations that support education and will spur future economic growth for years to come!
