SURFACE PREPARATION
TECHNIQUES
The most frequently used methods
of surface preparation of concrete
or screeded floors are:
VACUUM RECOVERED
DUST-FREE SHOT/GRIT BLASTING
MECHANICAL PLANING
GRINDING
ABRADING
Floors and their uses vary enormously. Therefore, each
method must be judged on its merits and full account be
taken of the working environment in which the preparation
has to take place. For example, planing may be a perfectly
suitable method of preparing a floor in an unoccupied site.
However, the resulting dust and noise may preclude it in many
other situations. A subfloor mechanical preparation specialist
should be consulted regarding the appropriate method.
