Surface prep is the removal of existing flooring (carpet, tile, laminate), coatings, glue, etc. Additionally, it includes the profiling of concrete through the use of ride-on scraper, shot blaster, and/or diamond grinders. When a floor needs to be sealed, coated or polished, it first needs to be prepped or the coating will be uneven or have a floor failure. If tile, wood or other applications are on the floor, taking up those applications are also part of the surface preparation process. We use our machines to remove everything on top of the floor and bring the floor back to it’s original state. The goal of surface preparation is to have a smooth surface that is porous and will accept a new coating application.  This allows the surface to be upgraded to a decorative finish with polymers or epoxy coatings.
