Most people working just two blocks from Niagara Falls wouldn’t find gushing water very impressive. That is unless it’s gushing from a water line inside their facility and onto brand-new flooring. At the Niagara Falls Convention Center, a broken water line sent thousands of gallons pouring onto 26,000 sq. ft. of newly installed floors—just days before a wedding. Over 3,000 sq. ft. was soaked, with standing water inches deep.
After hours of cleanup, the result? No damage. No odor. No warping.
Thanks to Powerbond carpet from Tarkett, the moisture stayed on the surface—protecting the sub-floor and keeping the space event ready.
Just days later, the wedding went on as planned… like nothing ever happened.
“To anyone looking for a superior product that will totally serve the purpose and stand up over time, don’t go with anything but a Tarkett product,” he says. “We absolutely couldn’t be happier with Powerbond’s quality, its look, and the purpose it serves.” Jason Murgia, General Manager
