Concrete Surface Preparation FAQs
Why is surface preparation important before coating?
Surface preparation accounts for up to 80% of coating system performance. Proper preparation ensures coating adhesion, prevents failures, eliminates contaminants, and creates the ideal surface profile for long-term durability.
How long does surface preparation take?
Timeline varies by project size and preparation method: Small projects (1,000-5,000 sq ft) typically take 2-4 days. Medium projects (5,000-20,000 sq ft) require 1-2 weeks. Large industrial projects may need 2-4 weeks depending on complexity.
What preparation methods do you use?
We use multiple surface preparation methods including diamond grinding, shot blasting, scarifying, abrasive blasting, and chemical cleaning. Method selection depends on existing conditions, coating requirements, and surface profile specifications.
Do you test for moisture?
Yes, moisture testing is critical. We perform calcium chloride tests, relative humidity measurements, and install vapor barriers when needed to prevent coating failure and ensure long-term performance.
Can you work in active facilities?
Yes, we can work in active facilities with proper planning. We use containment systems, dust control equipment, and schedule work in phases to minimize disruption while maintaining operations.
What surface profiles do you create?
We create various surface profiles depending on coating requirements: fine profiles for thin coatings, medium profiles for standard systems, and coarse profiles for heavy-duty applications. All profiles meet coating manufacturer specifications.
What safety measures do you use?
We implement comprehensive safety protocols including environmental containment, dust control systems, personal protective equipment, air quality monitoring, and site-specific safety procedures for all surface preparation work.
