The leaders in the concrete flooring industry encourage innovations and excellence among its member companies by giving recognitions or awards. A sought-after industry award is the Golden Trowel Award which is given to the company that constructed the "flattest and most level floor slabs" during the contest period which runs from September 1 to August 31.
In the three decades that the Golden Trowel has been given annually, Fricks Flooring Company has won it twenty six times. If anyone wants proof of Fricks' consistency in excellent performance, the awards say it all.
Although Fricks Flooring Company is a very proud recipient of twenty six Golden Trowel awards, its top priorities, according to its mission statement are "to remain innovators of floor technologies, to design and install the finest, most Durable, concrete floor systems, and to provide our customers with unsurpassed quality and an outstanding level of service."
Why is there A Special Award for Floor Flatness?
One of the facilities that need really flat floors is the warehouse and almost all companies in various industrial sectors have warehouses. So, a concrete flooring contractor of a manufacturing or distribution facility should be capable of building flat floors for the warehouses. Fricks Company builds not only flat floors but durable flat floors.
There are a number of reasons why floor flatness and levelness are very important in warehouses because an unleveled floor can:
1. destabilize equipment (usually a forklift).
2. cause damage to high-lifting tools which are sensitive to the slightest differences in floor levels.
3. cause an unwanted clearance between the floor and ceiling of a modular building facility.
For the Fricks Company, its flat durable floor is just the consequence of the innovations it continually pursues to provide services that exceed industry standards to its customers.
