Concrete surface preparation determines coating adhesion, overlay bonding, and ultimately the service life of floor systems installed over existing concrete. Industrial facility operators, commercial property owners, and warehouse managers throughout the DFW metroplex recognize that proper surface preparation represents the foundation of successful floor restoration and coating projects.

As your general contractor for industrial floor systems, we employ shot blasting technology to prepare concrete surfaces for coatings, overlays, and polishing operations. Shot blasting mechanically removes contaminants, opens surface pores, and creates the surface profile required for proper adhesion. This aggressive preparation method delivers consistent results across large floor areas typical of commercial and industrial facilities.

Surface profile requirements vary with coating or overlay systems, with manufacturers specifying necessary profiles for proper bonding. Inadequate profile results in coating failures and delamination that create expensive rework and operational disruption. Our shot blasting equipment achieves consistent profiles meeting the most demanding system requirements while maintaining production rates appropriate for large floor areas.

Contamination removal from oil, grease, sealers, and previous coatings must precede any coating or overlay installation. Industrial floors in manufacturing facilities, automotive shops, and food processing plants often carry significant contamination that prevents coating adhesion. Shot blasting removes these contaminants while creating mechanical profile for superior bonding.
