Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Surface Preparation
What is floor surface preparation, and why is it important?
Floor surface preparation is the process of cleaning, levelling, and profiling a concrete or asphalt floor before applying a new coating, screed, or flooring system. If not prepared properly, coatings may fail, screeds could be smashed, and the structure of the floor finish may be damaged. A properly prepared surface will ensure maximum adhesion, endurance and efficiency of the finish that is put on top.
What methods do you use for concrete floor preparation?
We offer a variety of floor preparation techniques for concrete, such as diamond grinding, shot blasting, which is vacuum encapsulated, as well as scabbling, concrete planing, cold milling, latex and vinyl removal. The most appropriate method will depend on the condition of your floor and the substrate type, as well as the finish you want to achieve. Our team will conduct an assessment of the site and suggest the most efficient method.
Can you remove paint and coatings from concrete floors?
Yes, our coating removal solutions are designed to get rid of the old paints, epoxy coatings and adhesives, latex and other substances on the concrete floor. We employ diamond grinders and shot blasters to strip the surfaces back to bare, clean concrete that is ready for floor preparation prior to epoxy coating or other finishes.
Is your floor preparation process dust-free?
Absolutely. We use dust-controlled equipment and vacuum-encapsulated systems that are able to capture 99.9% of dust right at the point of entry. This makes our service secure for buildings with occupants as well as for sensitive areas and areas that must meet strict safety and health requirements, which include schools, hospitals and retail establishments, as well as warehouses that are in operating.
