Built in 1970-1974, this Modern International-style skyscraper was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and Fazlur Rahman Khan for Sears, Roebuck and Company, replacing their earlier headquarters in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood where the company had been since 1905. The Sears, Roebuck and Company headquarters remained in the building until 1994, when they moved to a new suburban office park in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The Sears Tower stands 108 stories and 1,451 feet (442 meters) tall, becoming the tallest building in Chicago in 1972, surpassing the Aon Center, which had held the title for only a month, and surpassing the height of the Empire State Building in New York City in early 1973. The building surpassed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City when it topped out on May 3, 1973, and was the world’s tallest building from 1973 until 1998, when the spires of the Petronas Towers were completed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The building, however, did not hold the title of the world’s tallest structure, being surpassed by several communication towers, and did not hold the designation as the tallest structure in North America, as the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario, Canada stood 350 feet taller, but as the CN Tower does not have habitable floors for much of its height, it is not defined as a building. The building also did not hold the designation of having the world’s tallest pinnacle height until 2000, with the 1,500-foot antennas atop the older John Hancock Building to the northeast being taller than the building upon its completion, and the 1,727-foot high antenna atop One World Trade Center holding the designation for decades. The land for the building was acquired by Sears in 1970, and involved the closure of one block of Quincy Street, as well as the acquisition and demolition of two blocks full of buildings. The construction process was fraught with difficulties as bad weather and labor strikes delayed the project, with five workers dying during construction. The building also faced controversy over the tower blocking television signals being broadcast from other towers in the Chicago Loop, which was the subject of lawsuits during construction that ultimately led to the building receiving broadcast antennas atop the roof, resulting in its eventual distinctive silhouette and height of 1,729 feet from the ground to the top of the western antenna after it was extended in 2000. The building was also the first structure in the Chicago Loop to feature blinking FAA beacons to warn air traffic atop the roof, due to its height. The building was not fully leased for over a decade due to its immense size and a massive wave of office construction around the time it was built, leading to a 50% vacancy rate during the 1970s and much of the 1980s.
The building was designed as a clustered series of nine 75-foot square tubes of varying heights within the structural grid of the building’s 225-foot square footprint, with the full site being occupied by the building on the lower floors, gradually tapering as various tubes terminate on the upper floors, eventually leaving only two tubes at the top that rise from the base of the site. Two tubes, at the southeast and northwest corners, rise 50 floors, with the tubes at the southwest and northeast corners rising 66 floors, the tubes in the middle of the south, north, and east sides of the building rising 90 floors, and the central tube and the tube in the middle of the west side of the building rising the full 108 floors of the building’s overall height. This system of construction and method of design was highly economical, and has been repeated by subsequent supertall skyscrapers, including the Burj Khalifa. The exterior of the building is clad in anodized aluminum, which has been painted black, with columns evenly spaced 15 feet apart on the exterior, with bronze-tinted ribbon windows, and bands of louvers at the mechanical floors. The building was renovated in 1984, with a shopping center being added to the first four floors of the building, and a visitor center was added for the building’s skydeck observation deck. The building has two lobbies, one on the north side of the building, utilized by office tenants, and one on the south side of the building, utilized for visitors, with the entrances being located on the first floor and ground floor of the building, respectively, due to the grade change and sloping of the site from north to south. The lobbies contain artworks by Jacob Hashimoto and Olafur Eliasson, a sculpture honoring Fazlur Rahman Khan, and from 1974 until 2017, the building’s lobby housed a notable sculpture by Alexander Calder, which was removed during the building’s renovations. The 103rd floor of the building houses the skydeck observation deck, which features several boxes made entirely of glass that extend outside of the building’s exterior walls and allow visitors a 180-degree viewing experience of the city outside, outwards, above, and below their feet, with the glass floors of the boxes allowing visitors to see the streets below.
The building today is the third-tallest in the western hemisphere, being surpassed by the new One World Trade Center in 2014 and Central Park Tower in 2020, both in New York City, and the twenty-third tallest building in the world, with the list now being dominated by towers in Asia. However, despite its reduced status on the world stage, the building remains the tallest in Chicago. In 2009, the building’s naming rights were sold to Willis Group, which renamed the building the Willis Tower, with Sears having sold the tower in 1994 and the naming rights in 2003. The tower’s original namesake, a far cry from the robust and successful company it was a half-century ago, is now bankrupt and on the verge of going defunct. In 2017-2022, the building underwent a substantial renovation that involved the addition of a three-story podium, which wraps the base of the tower, and replacing building's original plaza and entrances. The new podium contains a food hall, two lobbies, and an atrium with a glass roof, with the exterior matching the appearance of the original building, with the exception of a dynamic sculptural facade on the exterior of the previously existing mechanical ventilation shaft along Jackson Boulevard. The building houses multiple office tenants with retail space in the base, and attracts many visitors annually who mostly visit to ascend to the skydeck and view the city from the building’s impressive height.
Replace tile work with new materials to refresh the look and feel of your home. Regarding home remodeling projects, hiring a tile contractor to replace tile work can significantly impact a space's aesthetics and functionality. Whether in the kitchen, bathroom, or another area, new tiles can transform the overall appearance, making the space feel updated and modern. Additionally, choosing suitable tiles can improve durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring that your investment lasts for years. Whether you want to update your home or enhance its resale value, replacing tile work with the help of a tile contractor can be a worthwhile investment that transforms any space into a stunning and practical area.
Types of Tiles for Replacement
One of the popular types of tiles for replacement options is ceramic tiles, known for their durability and versatility. They come in various colors, patterns, and sizes, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor areas. When installing ceramic tiles, using the proper grout sealant ensures longevity and prevents excess grout from diminishing the aesthetic appeal.
Porcelain tiles are another choice worth considering. These tiles are made from finer clay and heated at a higher temperature, resulting in a denser and more durable product. Porcelain tiles are highly resistant to moisture and stains, making them ideal for areas with high foot traffic, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Using a high-quality grout sealant with porcelain tiles can further enhance their durability and ease of maintenance.
Many homeowners opt for natural stone tiles like marble for a more natural and rustic look. These tiles, made from granite, marble, and slate, impart a sense of luxury and elegance to any space. However, they require regular sealing and maintenance to keep them looking their best. Ensuring that excess grout is cleaned correctly during installation is essential to preserve the natural beauty of these tiles.
If you want something more budget-friendly, laminate tiles are a great option. These tiles are easy to install, water-resistant, and available in various styles and colors. They are famous for moisture-prone areas, such as basements or laundry rooms. Although laminate tiles do not require grout, selecting replacement tiles that match your existing setup can be necessary for seamless repairs.
Lastly, for a touch of modern sophistication, consider glass tiles. These highly reflective tiles create a stunning visual impact. They are commonly used for backsplashes, accent walls, or areas where natural light can enhance their beauty. Proper grout sealant application is vital to prevent excess grout from dulling the reflective quality of glass tiles.
Tile Replacement Process
This guide will walk you through the tile replacement process, helping you address issues such as broken tiles, large cracks, gaping chips, loose tiles, and the possibility of epoxy repair.
The first step in the tile replacement process is identifying the tiles requiring attention. Look for signs of damage, including visible cracks, chips, or tiles that have become loose. These are indicators that replacement tile is necessary to prevent further deterioration.
Before proceeding with tile replacement, assessing whether epoxy repair is viable is essential. Epoxy repair can be an effective option for minor damage, such as small chips or hairline cracks. However, for more significant issues like large cracks, gaping chips, or broken tiles, replacing the tile is often the best course of action to ensure the integrity of your tile flooring.
When replacing tiles, ensure you have the right tools, such as a tile cutter, to cut the replacement tile to fit the damaged area accurately. Carefully remove the broken tiles and clean the area thoroughly. Please pay attention to the tile edges to ensure they are smooth and free of sharp edges that could cause injury. A wet sponge can wipe away dust and debris during this process.
Apply grout sealer to the edges of the replacement and adjacent tile to ensure a secure and lasting installation. Carefully place the new tile into the space, aligning it with the adjacent tile to maintain a consistent pattern. Smooth the grout around the tile edges and clean any excess with a wet sponge to achieve a neat finish.
These steps effectively address damaged tiles in your construction or remodeling project. Remember, identifying tiles that need replacing and determining if epoxy repair is feasible are crucial aspects of the tile replacement process. Prioritizing these steps will ensure your tiling project's successful and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
Common Issues Requiring Tile Replacement
Tile replacement may be necessary for a variety of common issues homeowners encounter. Accidents and an aging house can contribute to cracked or damaged tiles, compromising the integrity of the entire flooring system. When floor tiles crack or break, the subfloor becomes vulnerable to water damage and potential mold infestation.
Accidents like dropping heavy objects or placing excessive weight on tiles can result in cracks or breakage. In older homes, the natural settling of foundations and structural shifts over time can also contribute to floor tile damage. Additionally, using inferior installation methods or substandard materials can raise the risk of cracks and related tile problems.
Once a floor tile has been damaged, it exposes the subfloor to water damage. This can occur when water seeps through the cracks, creating an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew. If left unchecked, mold can cause significant health issues and extensive structural damage to the house.
Damaged tiles should be replaced promptly to avoid further problems. Tile replacement not only solves the cosmetic issue but also prevents water damage and potential mold growth. By addressing cracks and damaged tiles, the subfloor's vulnerability to water damage is eliminated, ensuring the longevity of the flooring system.
A high-quality grout sealer along the edges can protect against water infiltration during tile repair. Matching the replacement tile to the current tile is essential for maintaining a cohesive look and structural integrity. Proper alignment and secure placement of the new tile with the adjacent tile will ensure a durable and visually appealing floor.
Cost Considerations
The cost of replacing tile work can vary based on several factors, including the type of tile being used, the size of the area being tiled, and the complexity of the project. It is essential to consult with a contractor to get an accurate estimate of the additional costs involved based on your specific project needs. Whether you consider marble, laminate, or black stone tile, each material will have cost implications.
Additional costs that may arise when replacing tile work include labor, removal, and disposal of old tiles, as well as the cost of new tiles and any necessary materials. For instance, these projects may have different material and installation requirements if you work on tile backsplash or pool tiles. These costs can add up quickly, so it is essential to clearly understand the project's requirements before proceeding.
It is advisable to consult with a contractor who specializes in tile work to determine the additional costs involved in your specific project accurately. They will be able to provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs, including labor costs and the need for extra tiles, and advise you on the best options to meet your needs and budget.
Remember, each tile job is unique, so it is essential to consult with a contractor to ensure accurate cost considerations based on your project needs. Proper planning and consultation can provide a successful installation of marble, laminate, pool, or tile backsplash.
Maintenance and Longevity of Replaced Tiles
Maintaining and ensuring the longevity of replaced tiles is crucial to prolong the lifespan and attractiveness of your roofing or construction project. By following a few necessary steps, including regular tile installation and addressing any plumbing issues promptly, you can enhance the durability and appearance of your tiles.
Regular cleaning and sealing play vital roles in tile maintenance. You can prevent staining and damage by cleaning the tiles with warm water and gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoiding harsh chemicals. It is recommended to use pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for tile surfaces. Sealing the tiles helps protect them against moisture and stains, making them more resistant to wear and tear.
Proper tile maintenance requires promptly addressing any plumbing issues. Leaks or water seepage can harm the tiles and adjacent structures, resulting in expensive repairs. Regularly checking your plumbing system and swiftly repairing any leaks or issues will help maintain the integrity of your tile work.
Proper maintenance offers several benefits. By preventing stains, damage, and the need for frequent tile replacements, you can save time and money in the long run. Additionally, well-maintained tiles maintain their visual appeal and extend the lifespan of your roofing or construction project.
Investing in regular tile maintenance plays a vital role in ensuring the longevity and overall aesthetics of your replaced tile work. Properly cleaning, sealing, and promptly addressing plumbing issues can help you enjoy the benefits of a durable and long-lasting tile surface.
