When it comes to industrial or commercial flooring, durability and longevity are absolutely vital, making it imperative that before any material is fitted or installed, the floor and subfloor surface are prepared in the right way.
Floor preparation is a critical step in the installation of any floor system. Inadequate surface preparation reduces the epoxy floor coating system’s ability to adhere to the concrete underneath. This is particularly true for oil and fluid-contaminated flooring. Old, worn floors might also have parts of mortar, dirt, or other particles that make it impossible to develop an adequate profile for the epoxy to adhere to. There are a number of issues that might arise as a consequence of this with a newly installed floor system.
There are a number of floor surface preparation methods that E-Resin Innovations uses, among which are diamond grinding and shot blasting.
E-Resin Innovations provides concrete grinding services that are both efficient and clean. The dust is kept to a minimum with the help of our dual-motor vacuums. Our grinders and extensive collection of diamonds are up to the job of removing adhesive residue from bare concrete or any other surface.
Concrete grinding is a technique for smoothing, cleaning, and levelling concrete slab surfaces. It removes laitance, protrusions, and surface contaminants and produces a smooth and polished surface. It is carried out using rotating diamond-tipped discs. Grinding can remove coatings from concrete slab surfaces—whether that is paint, old waterproofing membranes, or any type of glue or adhesive. Additionally, it is used to prepare the surface for levelling compound and to smooth out rough spots in concrete slabs.
If you are renovating your floor and have already removed the old one, there will likely be adhesive left behind on the concrete subfloor. This must be removed before your new flooring can be fitted properly.
Not only does your concrete slab need to be clean, but it also needs to be level before you can apply any adhesive floor coating. To create a strong bond with floor coverings like tiles, vinyl, timber, or cork, the slab needs to be smooth, level, and porous. The durability of the new floor coating will be affected if there is any old residue left between the new adhesive and the concrete, so proper preparation and grinding are essential.
It is important to note that concrete grinding may help lower the expenses associated with floor leveling.
The experts at E-Resin Innovations have extensive expertise and understanding of the business when it comes to concrete grinding procedures appropriate for different slab types and for different floor preparation needs. This guarantees that the procedure will be carried out successfully and proficiently.
Clearly, this is a dirty and dusty job. Never mind! We use industrial professional vacuums and dust sheets to contain dust while grinding in enclosed spaces.
By using experienced concrete grinding professionals like E-Resin Innovations, you can feel confident that the job will be completed to the highest standard, on time, and on budget.
Shotblasting concrete floors is one of the most popular systems used to treat concrete surfaces. Shot-blasting has been used for countless years for the abrasive removal of coatings and contamination from concrete and metal surfaces. In fact, the floor industry started using shot-blasting to speed up the process of surface preparation but also as a very effective way of thoroughly preparing floors with a heavy profile or rough surface finish.
Shot blasting, which is quick and very thorough, is often used to prepare concrete floors for the application of coatings and screeds.
Simply put, shot blasting is the process of firing steel beads (“shot”) out of a machine at a very high velocity. The beads “blast” off debris, stains, and contaminants that are on the floor and can’t be removed through regular cleaning or grinding methods. Before putting on a new coating, the goal is to get rid of stains that have been there for a long time and are hard to get off, as well as anything weak, loose, or easily broken. This will make sure that the surface is clean, solid, and sound.
Shot-blasting is most effective when used on rough or uneven surfaces to ensure they are properly prepared, or on smooth floors that have been power floated when the clock is running out.
Don’t worry! At E-Resin Innovations, we have access to a number of different shot-basting machines, which ensures that we correctly specify the appropriate machinery to effectively deliver a great end result. We also deliver eco-friendly, easy-to-apply shot blasting that does not chemically or structurally affect the surface.
E-Resin Innovations has the experience and the newest dust-free, low-noise equipment to meet the needs of your business and your budget.
Now, with the concrete sound and contaminant-free, all that’s left is to adequately roughen the surface before installing your new floor coating.
