Concrete Preparation

Proper concrete preparation is critical for a successful epoxy flooring installation. The process begins with cleaning the concrete surface to remove dust, oil, grease, and existing coatings. This is followed by mechanical surface profiling, commonly achieved through diamond grinding or shot blasting, to ensure the epoxy adheres properly. Any cracks or imperfections are repaired using suitable fillers. Moisture testing is also essential, as excess moisture can cause epoxy failure. Finally, the surface is vacuumed thoroughly to eliminate debris before the epoxy application begins. High-quality preparation ensures durability, adhesion, and a professional finish.
