From flat to beautifully smooth: Concrete flooring is here to stay

West-Friesland betonvloeren is the market leader in concrete floors in West-Friesland, North Holland. From its home base in Obdam, West Friesland, it supplies floors from advice to finishing. The floors can be viewed in Woodstock Flooring's showroom. In addition, West-Friesland floors works closely with the Besto Group, which specializes in steel construction.

Besto Group

"They form a strong duo," says Bart Strooper, representative of West-Friesland concrete floors and the Besto Group. "We are father and son, so we regularly play ball and support each other whenever possible. It regularly happens that I deliver the concrete floors on a job, while my son delivers the steel balcony fences, portals and landings. On the other hand, we are also very independent. Besto Group has design, engineering, production and assembly under one roof. It has the equipment to weld, saw, drill and customize metals. Whether it is custom or series work, coarse work or just very refined work: because everything is under one roof, the chance of mistakes is minimal."

Any existing screed

Also at West-Friesland betonvloeren, all stages of service are under one roof, from design to delivery. West-Friesland betonvloeren supplies the industrial floor for retail and commercial properties, as well as the floor for homes, fitting into modern, sleek and industrial interiors. "Woodstock supplies the non-concrete cast floors," Strooper says, "including the Equalin cast floor, the concrete look cast floor, the Anhydrite cast floor, the cementitious cast floor, the Polyurethane cast floors and the epoxy cast floor."

Fast switching

Within each type of casting floor, West-Friesland concrete floors can address specific needs, such as the flat or smooth industrial floor. "We can also switch quickly in this," Strooper says. "With a club of seventy permanent specialists, we are extremely flexible. In addition, the owner is always present during the execution of our works. If there are any questions, he can answer them immediately."

Member Cooperative Services Heerhugowaard

West-Friesland betonvloeren and Besto Groep are affiliated with Coöperatieve Dienstverlening Heerhugowaard. Within this club, entrepreneurs can have everything related to entrepreneurship taken care of: payroll, tax returns, telephone services and more. The member companies support and strengthen each other. "The great thing is that through the cooperative we also receive a lot of orders," Strooper says. "It also acts as a business network."

Strongly growing

With industrial trends in business and residential interiors, the penchant for comfort and the increase in large corporate warehouses, West-Friesland concrete floors and the Besto Group are experiencing strong growth. West-Friesland concrete floors is producing the floors at a rapid pace. "We regularly pour about 2,500 to 3,500 square meters of concrete floor per day. That's 10,000 square meters in three days! For the private market, residential concrete floors are very popular, complete with an insulation layer of foam concrete and underfloor heating. Our consultants can tell exactly what the best floor is in the given situation. Actually, we only have one problem: where do we get more good people?"
