In the Fall of 2018 the Brekhus team undertook a project that rendered yet another eye-catching final product.   Highly technical book-matching and an expert installation team were the ingredients that made this project a one-of-a-kind. This was no easy feat as multiple pieces of stone were cut to size and pieced together to create the front wall for the elevator lobby at this Centennial, Colorado building.         As requested from the customer, the BMG team designed several different layouts and patterns via digital renderings in order to provide them with multiple design options. After receiving input from the client and implementing a few tweaks to the layout, the final version was set in stone. #    #    # About Brekhus Tile & Stone Brekhus Tile & Stone is a family-owned tile and stone installation contractor based in Denver, Colorado.

Corner of 14th and Curtis Inside the closed fence is an area where over 100 stone pavers ranging from 100-170 lbs and varying in sizes once made up the street corner sidewalk. Each paver that was removed is going to be reused and returned back to it's original spot on the sidewalk once the resurfacing and waterproofing is complete. One by one each stone was numbered and marked to log it's location on the sidewalk. The Brekhus team had to take each paver to a storage site located in the DCPA parking garage, a process that saw the team walk across most of the DCPA terrace numerous times.   Check out the video above to see the paver removal process!   #    #    # About Brekhus Tile & Stone Brekhus Tile & Stone is a family-owned tile and stone installation contractor based in Denver, Colorado.

We're closely monitoring local and national reports on the evolving impact of COVID-19 and, based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization and applicable public health agencies, we've developed plans and established a task force that will allow us to respond timely and appropriately. Our housekeeping and sanitization efforts have been greatly expanded. We're frequently disinfecting often-touched surfaces. We're asking all of our associates (and we urge everyone) to follow the CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of the infection. We feel deeply for those who have been affected. Thankfully, as of now, we're not aware of any associate contracting COVID-19. But we have implemented guidelines that instruct any associate who may develop symptoms or come into contact with infected individuals to stay home and follow the CDC's instructions. At this time, we are conducting business as usual to meet the needs of our customers. If we become aware of any condition that would make it unsafe, please rest assured that we'll swiftly respond and address as necessary. Again, the health and safety of our customers and associates are our top priority and we're committed to doing our part to help keep you safe. Sincerely, Jeff Brekhus COO/President Brekhus Companies Sun, 15 Mar 2020 06:00:00 GMT http://www.brekhustile.com/blog/1444/Statement-from-our-COO-and-President-Jeff-Brekhus http://www.brekhustile.com/blog/1323/Brekhus-Modernizes-Civic-Center-with-Urban-Appeal blog Brekhus Tile & Stone has another Denver landmark in the books– the Civic Center Transit Station. It took a skilled team of Brekhus installers, drafters, and supervisors to complete this challenging endeavor. The 15,000 square foot tile project transformed the once bland station into a beautiful modern hub. It is as much urban art as it is a functional facility for all of Denver's daily commuters. The Product & Installation Material for one of the city's most trafficked streets needs to withstand heavy usage while maintaining that urban look. Crossville had the perfect tiles for the job. Shades by Crossville created the sleek floor pattern while all of the exterior tiles came out of the Florim Outdoor Collection. This 11,000 square foot interior and exterior floor will be enduring for years to come. RTD Main Terminal Wall The abstract 4,000 square foot wall tile is unquestionably the main feature. Not only is it in the main ticketing area, it also highlights the terminal, stairwells, and the elevator. What looks like a random design is more of a flowing pattern. Our Brekhus team created a strategic plan to professionally execute the complex installation. Supplemented by the Crossville's Cross-Colors Collection, the three colors have four different blending shades to help allude the flowing scheme. The Designing & Planning Before the 16 months of construction could begin, the designing had to come first. Perkins Eastman designed the revival of this 30+ year old station in association with Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. The primary idea was to strengthen the area's transit ridership experience. While at the same time, creating a series of safe and iconic public spaces that add lasting value for the surrounding plaza. Another important aspect to this design was the concept of visibility. Standing on the corner of Colfax and Lincoln, commuters can now see straight through the station and across to the 16th Street Mall. With the new visibility, the hub will be much easier to maintain. About the Civic Center Station The Civic Center Station serves as one of RTD's busiest regional bus transit centers. With eighteen routes, they serve an average of 15,000 passengers a day. Providing a turnaround point for the 16th Street Free Mall Ride, it is the location of the Civic Center Plaza – an integral part of the downtown landscape. On Sunday, December 18th, 2017, Civic Center Transit Station opened to the public. The station revitalization was a joint consensus between the City of Denver, the Downtown Denver Partnership, Inc., and the Regional Transportation District (RTD). The Civic Center Station holds similar qualities to the renovated Union Station, which Brekhus restored back in 2014.
