Floor Preparation
Each and every floor coating must be thoroughly evaluated. Preparing the surface for whatever application you require is one of the most important aspects of a successful coating installation.Blackwell's Inc. utilizes Blastrac shotblasting equipment, Diamond Grinders and Bartells scarifiers in conjunction with the knowledge of our highly trained associates. Each and every piece of equipment is maintained and operated by competent associates, who have been trained to safely execute the task. Blastrac shotblast machines give the concrete surface a rough or "sandpaper" feeling. Diamond grinders are capable of lightly scratching the concrete surface up to total cap removal. Bartell units are aggressive units that utilize rotating cutting wheels to scarify the substrate. Mechanical preparation promotes adhesion of coating to the substrate. Shotblast and concrete planers are virtually dust-free with large vacuum units attached which vacuum up and filters out dust as surface is prepared.
