Underlayment & Decorative Floors
A world-class architectural finish is only as good as the foundation beneath it.
For decades, we have provided Chicago’s premier commercial and residential developments with high-performance underlayment and decorative flooring solutions that combine structural integrity with aesthetic sophistication. Our expertise ranges from creating the perfectly flat, plumb surfaces required in luxury high-rises, to the delivery of durable, high-traffic decorative finishes for global hubs like O’Hare International Airport.
Our comprehensive approach to floor preparation includes advanced moisture mitigation systems and vapor barriers to protect sensitive finishes from subfloor humidity, alongside mechanical surface preparation like shot-blasting to ensure a high-strength bond. We further enhance occupant comfort by integrating specialized sound and thermal insulation to meet strict building codes. By utilizing premium materials and meticulous preparation techniques, MTH ensures every floor is engineered to withstand the rigors of modern urban environments, delivering the seamless, reliable results that the city’s most demanding architects and developers rely on.
Featured Project
Mead Johnson
Location:
444 W. Lake Street
For the high-performance circulation areas of the Mead Johnson space at 444 W. Lake Street, MTH delivered a seamless cementitious self-leveling topping. Our process began with rigorous surface preparation, including shot-blasting and specialized primer application, to ensure a perfect bond.
Through careful installation and technical precision, we achieved a striking, durable finish that met all performance specifications without the need for additional topcoats.
Featured Project
Renaissance Hotel
Location:
1 W Wacker Dr
When high-traffic environments require dramatic architectural refreshes, MTH provides engineered flooring solutions that balance durability with design. For the prefunction area at The Renaissance Hotel, MTH implemented a sophisticated floor restoration using self-leveling gypsum cement paired with a pigmented epoxy coating and a matte-finish urethane topcoat.
The result is a revitalized, high-performance surface that meets the aesthetic demands of a premier urban hotel.
Featured Project
900 W. Washington Boulevard
Location:

In the heart of the West Loop, MTH’s polished flooring teams transformed standard concrete into a high-end architectural feature for this luxury condominium project. By applying specialized polishing techniques, our crews delivered a smooth, crack-free surface characterized by a spectacular mirror-like shine.
This project highlights MTH’s ability to turn industrial materials into sophisticated finishes suitable for Chicago’s most exclusive residential developments.
