Concrete Prep.

Surface Preparation
One of the best ways to make sure your concrete is clean & ready for your new coating or flooring material is by Shot Blasting. Shot Blasting is the best surface preparation method to achieve a clean, dry, and dust-free surface. One of the key elements of shot blasting is to achieve a proper profile. A large number of coating failures are attributed to inadequate surface preparation.
Shot Blasting is one of the cleanest surface preparation methods available. The electric-powered machine shoots steal shot at the slab, helping it to achieve the desired profile. The debris is vacuumed into a dust collector, which achieves a dust-free environment.
The Shot Blasting technique is the surface preparation method recommend by a majority of coating & flooring manufacturers.
