The Challenge

Union Station Kansas City is one of the most iconic landmarks in the Midwest. Built in 1914, its Grand Hall features stunning original marble floors that had endured over a century of foot traffic from millions of visitors.

The facility management team faced a critical decision: the historic marble floors were showing significant wear, dullness, and etching. With major events planned including Kansas City Chiefs championship celebrations, the floors needed to be restored to their original grandeur while preserving their historic integrity.

Key Challenges:

  • Over 22,000 sq ft of 110-year-old historic marble
  • Significant surface wear and etching from decades of traffic
  • Strict preservation requirements for historic landmark
  • Tight timeline with major public events scheduled
  • Work had to be completed without closing the venue

Our Solution

Advanced 360 Floor Care developed a comprehensive restoration plan that honored the historic nature of Union Station while delivering modern results. Our team of certified stone restoration specialists worked closely with the facility management to create a phased approach.

1

Expert Assessment

Our team conducted a thorough analysis of the marble composition, damage patterns, and historic preservation requirements. We identified the original marble sources and created a restoration plan that would maintain authenticity.

2

Phased Restoration

Working in sections, our crew methodically restored the marble using diamond grinding and honing techniques. This allowed Union Station to remain open to visitors throughout the project.

3

Historic Color Match

We carefully matched and restored the original color patterns and veining of the historic marble, ensuring the finished floor honored the architect's original vision from 1914.

4

Protective Finish

Applied advanced penetrating sealers and crystallization treatment to protect the restored marble for years to come, while maintaining the natural beauty and slip resistance.

Advanced 360's Approach:

  • Diamond grinding to remove decades of wear and scratches
  • Multi-stage honing process to achieve uniform finish
  • Historic color-matching and restoration
  • Penetrating sealer application for long-term protection
  • Maintenance program for ongoing preservation
