What Diamond Grinding Does
Diamond tools mechanically abrade the concrete surface.
This can:
- remove old coating
- remove surface contamination
- remove laitance
- open dense concrete
- create a suitable profile
Planetary Grinding
Large planetary grinders are particularly effective across substantial industrial floor areas.
Multiple rotating grinding heads provide controlled mechanical preparation.
Existing Coating Removal
Diamond grinding can remove many existing resin and paint coatings.
The amount of grinding required depends on:
- coating thickness
- adhesion
- hardness
- floor flatness
Dust Extraction
Grinding equipment can be connected to industrial dust extraction systems.
This helps control airborne dust during preparation.
Edge Grinding
Perimeters and obstacles may require smaller edge-grinding equipment.
Grinding Before Epoxy Floor Painting
A properly ground floor provides a mechanically prepared surface before epoxy coating installation.
Epoxy Floor PaintingGrinding vs Shot Blasting
Both methods can be appropriate.
The choice depends on:
- substrate
- coating system
- finish requirement
- site constraints
- existing coatings
