FAMA Floor Preparation

For a durable and long-lasting floor, surface preparation is crucial before resurfacing, and the key to a successful result lies in the proper technique. Concrete grinding, concrete shot blasting or acid washing are all essential steps for preparing any concrete floor that requires resurfacing, depending on the needs.

These methods create the ideal surface for resin, epoxy coatings, or sealants, ensuring superior adhesion and a long-lasting finish. Proper surface preparation removes contaminants like adhesives, paints, and chemicals, as well as imperfections such as uneven patches, scratches, and flaking coatings.

Concrete Grinding

Concrete Grinding is a heavy-duty, cost-effective solution for surface preparation, ideal for removing previous coatings, oils, adhesives, or paints. It not only levels the surface but also provides a perfect key for adhesion. Whether you're preparing for resin or epoxy coatings, this step ensures the durability and longevity of the finished floor. A floor with improper preparation is at risk of premature delamination, sometimes within hours, making proper surface preparation essential for long-term performance.

Concrete Shot Blasting

Concrete Shot Blasting is another powerful method that prepares concrete surfaces by using high-velocity steel shot particles to impact the surface, effectively removing contaminants and surface imperfections. It’s ideal for larger areas and for applications that require aggressive surface preparation. Shot blasting provides excellent bonding strength for coatings and sealers, giving your floor a clean, rough profile that enhances durability and adhesion.

Acid Washing

Acid Washing is an effective technique for cleaning and etching concrete surfaces. It involves applying a diluted acid solution to the concrete, which reacts with the surface to remove residues, stains, and surface contaminants while providing a slightly rough texture for coatings. Acid washing is particularly useful for restoring aged or stained concrete surfaces, ensuring they are primed for new finishes.

We are FAMA Floor Resurfacing

At Fama, we are experts in concrete surface preparation, offering a comprehensive range of services including grinding, shot blasting, and acid washing. Our advanced equipment, combined with industrial dust control systems, ensures minimal dust and clean, precise results. Whether for domestic, commercial, or industrial floors , our team is committed to delivering high-quality, long-lasting results. We remove all bonds, adhesives, paints, and contaminants, ensuring the surface is primed for optimal coating adhesion and performance.

Concrete grinding, shot blasting, and acid washing all contribute to achieving the correct surface profile, which directly impacts the durability of the floor. Our diamond grinding method removes coatings and contaminants swiftly without damaging the concrete, while shot blasting and acid washing offer additional options for preparing surfaces depending on the condition and requirements. While complete dust-free grinding isn’t feasible, our equipment is fitted with dust control systems to minimize airborne dust, ensuring a cleaner environment and less downtime.
