Is it concrete?



El Beso -

When one door closes, another opens. On the site of a former restaurant near the Southridge Mall, we had the pleasure of watching and participating in the remodeling of the former Champs building, into El Beso, an outstanding mexican restaurant with a flair for the dramatic. The owner wanted options to restore the building and it's floor, into a work of art that complimented the theme of the restaurant. As a whole, the decor is amazing, but if you focus on the floor, you will notice varying levels of finish, and a truly remarkable, one of a kind creation. Completed with a stampable overlay, dye, and a durable epoxy finish, our decorative team Al and Tyson, led a small crew of artisans to a final work of durable art. The overlay has several different textures and patterns, a multitude of colors, ramps, stairs, designs and cuts that are truly a flooring masterpiece. The murals on the wall, combined with the amazing decor, truly highlight the level of craftsmanship we had the pleasure of being a part of. The challenges on this project included but were not limited to; the existing hard tile on the floor, the level of complexity needed to achieve a uniform finish of the stampable overlayment throughout the building, the multitude of samples and color selections, decorative pattern layout and execution, limited amount of time to complete this work. If you are ever near Southridge, enjoy the flood and enjoy the floor at El Beso, and take a minute to review the extensive detail and care taken to produce a truly artistic floor. D&B truly appreciates the opportunity to create a truly one of a kind floor for an excellent client. And we enjoy the food and service there while showing off our workmanship! Excellente!
