4) Vacuum & Inspection

Once grinding is complete, the surface is thoroughly vacuumed and inspected before any coating or system is introduced. This step confirms that the slab has been prepared correctly and that no hidden issues remain. We use high efficiency dust extraction to remove fine concrete particles from the surface and surrounding areas. Residual dust interferes with […]

3) Edge & Detail Grinding

Edge and detail grinding is where surface preparation is either completed correctly or compromised. Large grinding equipment cannot reach walls, corners, columns, control joints, or tight areas. If these areas are left untreated, coatings bond inconsistently across the slab. This creates weak points that fail first, even when the open floor performs well. We hand […]

2) Industrial Diamond Grinding

Once the slab has been evaluated, industrial diamond grinding is used to mechanically profile the concrete to the exact requirements of the system being installed. This step is where surface preparation becomes controlled and repeatable. We use commercial-grade planetary grinding equipment with metal bond and hybrid diamond tooling selected based on slab hardness, coating removal […]

1) Slab Evaluation

Every concrete grinding project begins with a detailed slab evaluation. Grinding isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, and surface preparation decisions must be made before equipment is selected or work begins. We assess the concrete’s hardness, existing coatings, surface contaminants, slab flatness, moisture risk, and the intended end use of the space. Each of these factors influences […]
