Good sub-floor preparation is critical to the successful application of any chemical coating, cement screed or resin flooring system. Mill Floor Coating Service can apply several methods of floor preparation, each with specific objectives and benefits. However, it is useful to investigate the different challenges that sub-floors present, and the need of the flooring system in relation to those challenges.
SHOT BLASTING
COATING REMOVAL AND SURFACE TEXTURING
Enclosed shot blasting utilizes abrasive shot, propelled at the sub-floor, dislodging the surface and carrying the surface contamination back to the recycling chamber.It is a useful method for the removal of existing coatings and leaves an open textured surface.
CONCRETE PLANING AND MILLING
LEVEL REDUCTION AND TEXTURING
This Method utilizes steel Tungsten Carbide Tipped flails set onto a rotating drum. This flails cut groves into the concrete or asphalt on impact leaving a highly textured surface.
DIAMOND GRINDING
FINE PREPARATION AND FAIR FACED FINISHING
MMS employ techniques using different graded diamond plates, on large planetary driven grinding equipment to grind sub floors in preparation for the chosen system.
Also used for removal of thin pre-existing coatings, surface contamination etc...
After the surface preparation, the floor has to be coated in order to further strengthen the floor. This process would ensure Protection Of the floor from mechanical and chemical corrosion. The coating is done as per the specifications. These procedures are mainly used Ih industrial areas, storages, car parks, showrooms, offices etc.
