A clean, sound and well-prepared floor is essential in ensuring that any floor finish will perform satisfactorily. More often than not, flooring that doesn't set to the expected quality or finish, it is due to poor, or no, floor preparation beforehand.
Some of the most difficult floors to prepare include slopes, high points, curves and removing current floor coatings and the preparation of a floor made of a mixture of surfaces.
Cement laitance, existing coatings and any contamination must be removed prior to the floor finish being applied. Our in house floor preparation team utilise a number of techniques to ensure a clean, profiled surface, including:
- Dust Free Captive Grit shot Blasting
- Scarification & Abrasion
- Diamond Grinding
- Hot Compressed Air
