Stonhard Floors Help to Transform the World’s Most Famous Arena
Stonhard Takes Part of $1B Madison Square Garden Transformation
The world-famous Madison Square Garden (MSG) arena has a decades-long and counting relationship with Stonhard performing behind-the-scenes repairs to keep the New York entertainment center operating at full capacity. This long, reputable history solidified their decision to bring Stonhard onboard to take part in a $1 billion transformation project. After almost 50 years of use, the ‘Lower Bowl’ floor section was in poor condition, suffering from corroded concrete and peeling paint.
"Stonhard worked integrally with Turner Construction and other construction trades in order to turn over an outstanding product in an incredible time frame," said Lloyd Nolan, territory manager for Stonhard. "The 'dark summer' schedule was a nine-month to one-year construction schedule construction schedule compressed into three months. Communication was vital to the success of the project.”

Stonhard met the challenge by replacing the existing floor with Stongard TM, an exceptionally durable, elastomeric, traffic-bearing flooring system. Stongard TM is a textured, durable, sophisticated surface that is easy to clean and maintain, and will provide a long-lasting surface to resist the throngs of foot and wheeled traffic at the arena.

Stonclad systems were also installed in the expo area, beer fridges and club corridors.
