What Is Involved In The Concrete Coating Process?
To install a beautiful, high-quality and durable coating, the floor must be prepared in detail. Failure to follow the steps can cause your insurance to deteriorate long before the end of its plan life. We’ve talked about the importance of good surface preparation in previous articles, and we can’t stress it enough – shortcuts taken during surface preparation will significantly shorten the life of your floor coating and industrial flooring contractors near me.

Diamond Grinding or Shot Blasting
That is one of the maximum critical steps of the floor preparation system. Fire cracks are usually made on the Epoxy floor with large spots, large divots or heavy spots. The “shot” removes these deep imperfections and prepares the ground for coating. Diamond grinding opens the holes of the sink and are often used in areas with small imperfections, pits and divots.

Floor Cleaning
Once everything is ground, the entire floor will be swept to remove any grit, dust and dirt from the floor. The entire surface should be free of sand and other debris before applying the coating.

-
Sanding
When the primer is applied to the desired thickness, fine sanding is done, which helps the surface of the coating to stick to the bottom layers.
-
Hand Grinding
Hand Grinding machines are used in places where shot or diamond can’t reach, such as around the ground. If this process is not done, the coating may start to peel or cut in these areas.
-
Concrete Coating Installation
The first coat of coating is a primer that covers the surface, makes the material stronger and prepares it for other coatings and concrete polishing. Additional coats are then applied over the primer to give the coating the desired thickness.
-
Joint Caulking
Joint caulking involves cleaning and sealing all joints on the floor and wall surfaces. This helps ensure that dirt and debris do not enter the cracks and helps extend the life of the floor.
Always consult the professionals when investing in a roof for your design or kitchen because let’s face it; Land use is an investment in crop time and money. And remember, not all homework is created equal. Depending on the original condition of the material, other factors may be necessary to ensure proper installation and installation of the coating.
