The Caldwell CollectionAt Mustang Field
The Caldwell Collection was restoring its 30,000sqft WWII-era hangar with a vision to transform it into a museum and restoration shop capable of housing up to 25 historic aircraft. They needed a flooring solution that could both support the weight and maintenance demands of vintage warbirds and enhance the presentation of these aviation treasures for visitors and community events.
Challenges
- The flooring system needed to handle substantial rolling loads without compromising structural integrity.
- The surface had to withstand heavy-duty maintenance activity, including exposure to oils.
- Requires a solution that would not trap moisture against aging concrete, potentially compromising the subfloor over time.
- Needed to enhance aircraft displays and create a polished, professional environment.
Swisstrax is a Great Choice
"I could not be happier with the Swisstrax floor in our newly renovated hangar and museum…I've had more compliments on the floor than anything in the museum outside of the airplanes."
Solutions
Swisstrax helped what once stood as a weathered relic of wartime aviation to become a revitalized showpiece where history is both preserved and actively experienced.
- Durability & Longevity: Our Ribtrax® Pro tiles withstand 70k+ lbs of rollover weight, providing a stable, impact-resistant surface for aircraft display and maintenance.
- Ventilated Design: The open-channel underside allows airflow through the tiles, helping manage moisture and protect the original concrete slab, critical in a restored WWII-era structure.
- Customization: The tile layout was curated on our design tool to space off sections for each aircraft to sit, creating a polished and intentional look in the museum.
Swisstrax is Durable & Long Lasting
"With the Swisstrax floor we have no tracking, spotting or oil mess anywhere despite all the visitors. It still looks amazing."

Make The Switch
Greater durability, less maintenance, lifetime warranty and lower maintenace costs are driving garage enthusiasts to make the switch to a modular garage floor solution. It's time to leave epoxy in the dust.
