Project overview
A dedicated boardroom built inside Sofina Foods' Markham head office
Strataline constructed a new boardroom inside Sofina Foods' operating head office in Markham, Ontario. The scope joined new walls, acoustic insulation, integrated table power, a custom glass door and a complete commercial finish package in one coordinated project.
The initial open-office view established the area before the dedicated room took shape. The completed boardroom became a permanent corporate meeting space delivered through Strataline's commercial and interior renovation work .
Construction in an operating office
Disruptive work was scheduled around the surrounding workplace
The office remained operational while the boardroom was under construction, with staff and cubicles immediately outside the work area. The program had to follow Sofina Foods' business operations instead of requiring the surrounding office to shut down.
Much of the disruptive work was therefore scheduled after normal office hours. Framing, drilling and other active construction stages were coordinated to keep disruption to surrounding staff controlled while the new room advanced inside the occupied corporate environment.
Acoustic wall construction
Sound-control insulation improved separation from the adjacent office
Privacy and acoustic separation were important for a corporate boardroom. Sound-control insulation was installed within the new wall cavities before the assemblies were closed and finished.
The insulation formed part of the complete wall construction rather than a surface treatment added later. It improved acoustic separation between the boardroom and nearby work areas without making an unsupported claim of complete soundproofing.
Floor scanning and core drilling
A scanned and core-drilled route brought electrical power to the table
The finished boardroom required electrical access at the conference table without loose cords crossing the carpet. Power locations were established first, and the floor was scanned before drilling so an appropriate drilling point could be identified.
The selected location was then core drilled to carry the electrical feed to the table. The completed arrangement provides power receptacles at both ends of the boardroom table.
Sequence used for the table electrical feed
- Determine the required table-power locations
- Scan the floor and slab before drilling
- Identify an appropriate drilling location
- Core drill for the electrical feed
- Bring power to the boardroom table
- Provide receptacles serving both ends of the table
Integrated table power
Receptacles at both ends support a cleaner conference-room setup
Bringing the electrical feed through the floor kept extension cords out of circulation paths and made power convenient at the table. Receptacles serving both ends of the boardroom table support laptops and meeting equipment from either end of the room.
The electrical planning, scanning and core drilling are largely concealed in the final space, but together they produced a cleaner and more practical conference-room arrangement.
East-facing raking light
Strong natural light made every wall imperfection visible
East-facing windows send strong morning light across the boardroom walls at a shallow angle. This raking light can reveal drywall joints, sanding marks, waves, ridges, skim-coat imperfections and inconsistent paint texture that ordinary interior lighting may hide.
The wall preparation therefore required extensive skim coating, careful sanding, surface correction and repeated inspection. This was essentially a Level 5-quality wall finish, with additional attention because the direct natural light travelled across the surface rather than meeting it head-on. The work aligns with Strataline's drywall repair and skim-coating service .
Painting, carpet tile and vinyl baseboards
The finish package depended on careful preparation at every layer
Painting was the final stage of a much more involved wall-finishing process. Careful drywall work, skim coating, sanding and surface correction provided the uniform base required for a consistent result under the boardroom's demanding light; the final application followed Strataline's approach to interior painting .
Commercial carpet tile and vinyl baseboards completed the floor perimeter and tied the finished room together. These elements formed part of the coordinated commercial package alongside the walls, door, electrical work and flooring installation .
Custom heavy glass door
A purpose-made door required careful fitting in the finished boardroom
The boardroom entrance uses a heavy custom-made door incorporating glass. Because it was made specifically for this project, installation required careful fitting and alignment at the finished wall and floor transitions.
The door provides a substantial corporate-boardroom entrance while maintaining a visual connection to the surrounding office. No unsupported weight, glass thickness, hardware brand, fire rating or acoustic rating is attributed to the assembly.
Finished boardroom
Acoustic construction, detailed finishes and integrated services became one room
The completed boardroom brings together sound-control wall construction, smooth painted surfaces, carpet tile, vinyl baseboards, the custom glass door, integrated table power, ceiling lighting and the full conference-room layout.
Wide finished views show the scale of the room and the quality of the wall surfaces under natural and interior light. The technical work is now largely concealed, leaving a practical and highly finished corporate meeting space inside Sofina Foods' operating Markham head office.
