Euless Fire Station

Fire departments and firefighters are a cornerstone of a community. The destruction and devastation they prevent are heroic in every way. For a fire department to perform optimally, its crew must be trained adequately, its equipment must be of top-notch quality, and its facilities must function properly. T.W. Hicks, Inc., was contracted to install a flooring system that would meet the necessary criteria for the Euless Fire Station. 

Bare concrete is not enough to endure the day-to-day activities of hot tires, bulky gear, and regular vehicle decontamination. Decontamination procedures are imperative to the safety of our firefighters. This minimizes lingering carcinogen exposure and lowers the risk of cross-contamination within the truck's cab, facilities, or directly with people back at the firehouse. Therefore, installing a floor system that withstands hazardous chemicals and cleaning products is critical. In addition to decontamination procedures, firehouse floors are regularly hit with hot tires and heavy equipment, making abrasion resistance a priority. After considering this, the T.W. Hicks, Inc. team installed 6,161 sq. ft of Sherwin Williams high-build protective mortar flooring system at the Euless fire station. Some advantages to this type of flooring system are its high solids capabilities, ability to protect substrates from thermal shock, can resist degradation from many chemicals, acids, and alkalis, and is available with an antimicrobial agent. This flooring system is also customizable with a wide range of colors available, which gives the fire station an updated look.

T.W. Hicks, Inc. was proud to partner with the Euless Fire Station on this project that not only provided a new adequate flooring system to the facilities but also is beneficial for the entire community. When a fire station functions well, it is better able to serve the needs of the community residents. With twenty years of excellence in the industry, T.W. Hicks, Inc. is the go-to resource for high-quality, cutting-edge, industrial flooring and wall solutions.
