INTERIOR: FIRST PLACE
Royal Coat Inc., based in Morehead City, N.C., for restoration of
the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort, N.C.
IN THE WORDS OF: Barry Kreager, president, Royal Coat Inc.
The museum contacted us after they had a water leak that severely
damaged their beautiful hardwood fl oor in the lobby area
of their maritime facility. This was a project with many obstacles
— we were working in a museum and had to keep dust to a
minimum. We created a bubble to insure no dust would enter
the rest of the facility, which was diffi cult because the room had
a three-story ceiling.

We removed all of the damaged hardwood and adhesive, then
ground the entire fl oor with diamond grinders. Then we had to
apply fi ll material to ramp up to all the doorways and entries.
We applied a concrete overlay in a wood-grain pattern using tape
and hard bristle brooms for texture. We sprayed two shades of
color and sealed with a urethane for durability.
