Flooring Systems
Professional concrete surface preparation for coating applications, overlay systems, and floor restoration. Shot blasting, grinding, and scarifying to achieve proper profile and adhesion for commercial floor projects.
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.

Shot blasting uses high-velocity steel shot propelled at concrete surfaces to mechanically clean and profile the surface. The process removes contaminants, opens surface pores, and creates texture for coating or overlay adhesion. It's faster and more consistent than grinding for large floor areas.
Shot blasting is ideal for coating preparation, overlay installation prep, contamination removal, and polished concrete preparation on large floor areas. It's particularly effective for industrial floors requiring aggressive cleaning or deep profile development.
Shot blasting can achieve profiles from CSP 1 (light texture) through CSP 5 (deep profile) depending on equipment settings and number of passes. Profile selection depends on coating or overlay manufacturer requirements for the specific system being installed.
Yes, modern shot blasting equipment includes dust collection systems allowing work in occupied facilities. Work scheduling, area isolation, and communication with facility operations minimize disruption. Noise levels require hearing protection and may limit work hours.
Shot blasting is typically faster and more cost-effective for large floor areas. Grinding offers more precise control for small areas or edge work. Most projects use both methods as appropriate for different areas and conditions.
