16th STREET MALL

The 16th Street Mall located in downtown Denver’s iconic downtown area serves millions of people each year and ensuring the area’s sustainable and successful future is a key priority for the Downtown Denver Partnership (DDP). Heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic in addition to the notoriously tough winter conditions in “The Mile-High City”, have led to the repeated failure of the existing cement jointing.

After consultation and review, the DDP specified ROMEX® as the preferred grout replacement to rejuvenate the surface and ensure user safety due to the ease of application and frost resistance of ROMEX® products.

This strategic decision will secure the long terms safety and usability of the space for all mall users comprising of 14 million bus passengers, 189 retailers, 44 cafes and 1400 hotel rooms.

PRODUCT SELECTION

Permeability and durability were top priorities for this Residential project. The system comes backed by our 10-year manufacturer’s warranty and will allow homeowners to enjoy a safe and durable paved surface for years to come. Our ROMPOX ECO-FINE jointing compound added the perfect finishing touch as the resin film-free properties of the jointing material meant that the original look of the natural stone surface was preserved.
