CanyonTone Stain - IKEA Home Furnishings & Washington Point Office Building
IKEA Home Furnishings
Woodfield Mall • Chicago, Illinois
For the IKEA Home Furnishings chain of stores, corporate as well as physical image is a top priority. Their bold corporate color scheme has become an integral component in the design of new facilities. The architectural challenge was in finding an exterior finish system for masonry construction that would support IKEA’S bright, bold colors. After an extensive research, Canyon Tone Stain provided the answer, allowing their vibrant color scheme with a minimal amount of maintenance.
Washington Point Office Building
Naperville, Illinois
Due to inconsistencies with the integral color used in the precast panels for this facility, they were unacceptable to the Owner. A blend of Canyon Tone Stain and Canyon Tone Clear was custom formulated to provide a semi-transparent consistency. This provided a uniform “toning” of the panels so that they all exhibited a consistent look, yet maintained a natural appereance. The Canyon Tone blend was applied at the precast facility, and then touched up as necessary after panel installation. The result was a natural looking finish that was acceptable to the Architect, Owner and Precast Manufacturer.
