Project Overview: Manawa Bay’s luxury retail stores feature Husqvarna’s Superfloor Gold, expertly polished by Auckland Concrete Grinders (ACG) for a durable, high-end polished concrete floor finish. Manawa Bay, Auckland’s premier outlet shopping destination near Auckland Airport, features over 100 stores offering high-end retail experiences. Auckland Concrete Grinders (ACG) was entrusted with grinding and polishing the floors of 26 luxury retail stores as part of the final fit-out and handover process. The project required speed, precision, and a high-quality finish to meet the expectations of premium retail brands.
Project Details: Surface Transformation: The ACG team efficiently executed the floor polishing process, implementing the Husqvarna Superfloor Gold system. Most stores were completed within an impressive two-day turnaround, achieving a high-end polished concrete finish that enhances the overall store aesthetics. The floor area of all stores combined is approximately 5000 square metres, completed within a month with multiple teams working onsite.
Consistent Finish: The use of the Husqvarna Superfloor Gold system ensured a smooth, durable, and visually appealing surface with consistent results across all stores. The process delivered a refined finish that balances elegance with practicality, providing excellent wear resistance.
Enhanced Features: The flooring solution incorporates the Hiperclean system, making maintenance effortless while enhancing long-term durability. The improved floor surfaces offer superior light reflectivity, creating a bright and inviting retail environment. The stores now benefit from a flooring solution that is not only visually striking but also easy to maintain, backed by a 10-year warranty.
Positive Client Feedback: The outstanding professionalism, efficiency, and quality of work delivered by ACG have been widely praised. The rapid execution and superior finish have been well received by both store owners and project managers, affirming the success of the project.
Enhanced Retail Experience: The polished concrete floors contribute to a premium shopping atmosphere, reinforcing Manawa Bay’s reputation as a high-end retail destination. The combination of durability, easy maintenance, and aesthetic appeal ensures that both retailers and customers benefit.
Conclusion: The completion of polished flooring at Manawa Bay showcases the expertise of Auckland Concrete Grinders and the superior performance of the Husqvarna Superfloor Gold system. This project demonstrates how high-quality flooring solutions can elevate retail environments while ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. The ACG team's precision and commitment to excellence have once again set a high standard in the industry.
