Universal Forest Products Case Study – “A Better Solution”
Problem: One weekend, 48 hours, to remodel the only men’s restroom on the factory floor.
Solution: After total demolition, preassembled Railset Frames were attached to the exposed concrete and metal stud structure. The Railset frames provided a square, level, flush and plumbed mounting surface for plywood cladding. The perfectly aligned plywood sub-wall provided the flush site line surface for glueing large format, 120” x 30” x 1/8” porcelain panels. All panels installed flush with perfect joint lines. The level and plumbed decorative wall mating perfectly and simplified the installation of the plumbing fixtures and toilet partitions.
The restroom demolition started at 5:00pm Friday. The total restroom remodel opened at 7:00am
Monday.
