Our Mechanical Preparation & Floor Coating Services

Methods such as Shot Blasting, Scarifying, Diamond Grinding are examples of effective means of mechanical surface preparation. Below is a brief summary of these methods with features, benefits and limitations. These examples are normally the primary choice of professional contractors:

Concrete grinding is a generic term describing several types of services. Each service utilizes a different type of machine, process and abrasives to accomplish the task. Depending on the desired result, the different services each have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can click on any of the terms listed below to see how each process works.

  • Shot Blasting

    Shot Blasting

    Steel Shotblasting is the preferred method of mechanical preparation that cleans and profiles simult... aneously. Shot Blasting strips thin coatings, removes contamination and laitance (soft concrete) to reveal a mechanical profile for improved bonding. This method is achieved by blasting a concrete surface with steel shot (small steel balls) at a high velocity. It is suitable for large and small areas. Shot Blasting delivers high production rates, dust free, dry and cost-effective. Excess shot must be swept-up after blasting and dust is recovered by a powerful dust collection system.

  • Scarifying

    Method uses metal or carbide disks that rotate at high speeds. Levels uneven floors and edges of con... crete. Removes adhesives and thick film coatings. Used for heavy coatings removal up to 1" thick. Dusty, very slow and labor intensive.

  • Diamond Grinding

    Diamond Grinding

    Diamond bits are used to grind the surface. Leaves a very smooth profile-ideal for thin film system ... applications. Low dust levels. Removes epoxies and urethanes. Slower than other methods. Grinding can also leave swirl marks in the slab if you're overly aggressive.

  • Grinding/Sanding

    Grinding/Sanding

    Prepares, cleans and abrades existing coatings for recoat and helps smooth aggregate floors. Removes... coatings from a concrete floor and prepares for thin mil coating systems. Is slow and intensive. This technique works for coatings that were recently applied and need to be touched up with an additional coating.

  • Concrete Polishing

    Concrete Polishing

    Concrete polishing is achieved by using heavy-duty polishing machines equipped with progressively fi... ner grits of diamond-impregnated segments or disks (akin to sandpaper) are used to gradually grind down surfaces to the desired degree of shine and smoothness.

    The process begins with the use of coarse diamond segments bonded in a metallic matrix. These segments are coarse enough to remove minor pits, blemishes, stains, or light coatings from the floor in preparation for final smoothing. Depending on the condition of the concrete, this initial rough grinding is generally a three- to four-step process.

    Concrete polishing is a great solution to problem floor conditions such as moisture, chemicals or hard abuse.
