Concrete Restoration and Concrete Cosmetic, 152 Elisabeth Street, New York City, USA.

152 Elizabeth Street is a seven-storey building with seven very luxurious flats in the Nolita district of New York. All the exposed concrete elements inside and out have been given a cosmetic treatment to improve their appearance.

Concrete cosmetics were applied to the exterior facades, columns and interior walls as well as other areas such as balconies and terraces. The main problems were gravel pockets formed during the casting process, undesirable spalling and colour changes on the concrete surface and all anchor holes, some of which had to be reconstructed and sealed.

Before treatment: the 152 Elisabeth Street facade shows differences in colour, localised soiling, numerous cavities and stress holes.

View of the facade at 152 Elisabeth Street prior to treatment. You can see the differences in the colour of the concrete, the local dirt in the plinth area, the very large number of voids and the tension holes that need to be reconstructed and closed.

Sand-coloured concrete glaze applied after concrete cosmetics. Façade appears uniform and homogeneous

Following the concrete cosmetic treatment,
the entire surface was treated with a suitable
sand-coloured concrete glaze.
The façade has a uniform, homogeneous appearance.

Exposed concrete inside: porous in places, uneven in texture and condition.

Inside the building, the exposed concrete is highly porous and uneven in places.

Concrete cosmetics give interior design a calmer appearance, improved ambience and aesthetics.

After the cosmetics of the concrete, the interior design gains in serenity.

Cones, formwork joints reprofiled. Corners, edges of the walls are straightened and adjusted.

The cones as well as the formwork joints must be reprofiled. The corners and edges of the walls must be straightened.

Perfect edge reprofiling as an exemplary representation of precise execution and aesthetics.
