Ashford Formula Applied to Platinum LEED Home in Colorado, USA

A while back, we were asked to participate in a very special project taking place in Colorado.  After a devastating fire destroyed his home on Thanksgiving Day in 2007, Al Wallace set out to "create something positive out of the catastrophe."  As the founder of Energy Environmental Coalition, Al made it his purpose to construct a new home that was "energy efficient and environmentally friendly" with the goal of it attaining Platinum LEED status. (For more information on the LEED Points system, please click on the link provided USGBC Leed Point System.)

We were recently notified that construction on the home had finished and we are grateful to have been part of such a noteworthy project.  The Ashford Formula had been applied to the concrete floors in the home's garage.  We were also notified that a profile of the Ashford Formula, along with a picture of our product and the application, would be listed on the website Platinum Leed Home: Colorado (scroll down to the bottom of the page to view the Ashford Formula's profile and picture).

Bugatti's Stunning Ashford Formula Floors!

The press department at Bugatti recently provided us with absolutely stunning photos from their manufacturing atelier in Molsheim, Germany.  While the cars in these photos are the definitely the focus, the Ashford Formula treated floors certainly shine well and provide the perfect backdrop for these luxurious cars!

NORSA GmbH applied the Ashford Formula back in 2003 to approximately 2,800 sqm of the facility's concrete floors.  Even after years of use, the floors are still performing extremely well.  Way to go NORSA!

It's Soccer Time in Vietnam!

A few weeks ago our distributor in Vietnam sponsored a soccer tourney hosted by the Ministry of Construction in Vietnam.  For the past 7 years, Brian Doan and his team Doan Technology Pty Ltd have been the exclusive sponsors for this awesome event for those in the construction industry.

Thanks guys for keeping the Ashford Formula at the forefront in Vietnam!  Keep up the good work! 

Ashford Formula 60 Years of Proven Performance Timeline Video

I'm sure many of you have been anticipating the launch of our newly redesigned website.  For those who are interested, or extremely anxious like I am, we are hoping to go "live" by the end of this week -- so keep your fingers crossed!

In my preparing for the launch of the new website, I came across a power point presentation I had put together in celebration of our 60th anniversary last year.  While it didn't get much attention in 2009, I thought it would still be a good idea to convert it to video format and upload it to our Ashford Formula YouTube channel.  That way everyone can enjoy it.

So here it is!  Take a step back in time as you watch this video.  I'm sure you'll learn a great deal about the early history of the Ashford Formula and also about the many accomplishments experienced thus far.

*Sidenote: If you cannot read the text at the bottom of the screen, please select the "full screen" option.  Also, I apologize if the screens transition too quickly for you to read.  You may need to read faster, or pause your video for a second, or two. =)




In 2009, the Ashford Formula marked an unprecedented milestone in the concrete densification industry: 60 Years of Proven Performance and more than 3.5 billion square feet (325 million square meters) of concrete floors treated with the Ashford Formula.  

This slide show presentation is a historical timeline of the Ashford Formula from the very beginning, and highlights notable projects and company milestones along the way. 

Decathlon Store in Czestochowa, Poland

Stay tuned for a more detailed Project Highlight on this project!
