Setting the Stage for a New Storefront at the Peoples Bank Building

Applying concrete primer to floor. — Primer is applied to the east doorway floor.

Crews at the Peoples Bank building are preparing the east-side storefront location. Before any storefront glass or doors are installed, the crews must prepare for new concrete to be poured on the doorway’s floor. To prepare for that step, crews are applying a concrete leveler primer directly onto the existing surface. The primer seals the porous concrete below and will prevent air bubbles when the new concrete cures. This preparation ensures the concrete will set smoothly and create a stable, level base for the future storefront installation.

Priming concrete surface. — Crews seal porous concrete ahead of the upcoming pour.

Primer used to seal the concrete. — A special primer is used on the existing concrete.
