People go to coffee shops for more than their daily cup. They use them as workspaces, reading nooks and meeting spots. And just as they don’t like surprises in their coffee order, customers expect a comfortable, consistent space, too.
These shops also see a lot of traffic, with high volumes of customers coming and going throughout the day. In addition to customer usage, the counters must stand up to the wear and tear of employees working constantly and using heavy espresso machines, ovens and sinks as well as harsh and sanitizing cleaning chemicals.
When a national coffee company decided to bolster its brand presence and unify their cafes with a fresh, modern design, there were two main concerns for their counter surfaces: durability and aesthetics.
A long-time IPS distributor partnered with an expert fabricator to explore Specialty Adhesives Solutions.
The new design plan called for Corian® countertops in the Deep Night Sky color. No substitutes. No deviations. The fabricator, distributor and end customer searched for the perfect adhesive to stand up to intense daily traffic, holding together and fortifying counters for long-term use. It would also have to meet exacting brand color standards and finish parameters.
The winner? Ninja Glue™ in Midnight.
Ninja Glue met or exceeded all project design specifications for hold and flexibility, offering an extra-strong and durable bond with the Corian solid surface. The Midnight color, an ideal match, is maintained across all the installations nationwide due to controlled color standards and convenient cartridge packaging from Ninja Glue.
The coffee company launched and redesigned hundreds of stores across the country, incorporating Ninja Glue Midnight into the building specifications for all of them.
Ninja Glue adhesive’s strong bond and durability stand up to the daily grind of these busy locations. The welcoming, consistent design of the stores, along with great coffee, has helped the company deliver a premium experience every time and underscores the company’s commitment to brewing up exactly what customers want.
