Floor Prep & Repair

All epoxy floor coatings require proper Floor preparation To ensure maximum adhesion and long-lasting durability. How the floor is prepared significantly impacts the finished product's quality and appearance.

Surface Preparation

The first step is to remove old coatings to start with a clean surface. Then, we must create the correct profile on the concrete slab to ensure it has the correct texture so the new coatings adhere properly. At Total Floor Prep, our surface preparation methods Are determined by the specific conditions of your floor:

  • Shot Blasting: Most productive method of coating removal and surface prep. Ideal for heavy epoxy floor systems (such as 1/8" broadcast, 30 Mil, 1/4" trowel down).

  • Diamond Grinding: Necessary for thin film epoxy systems (30 mils or less).

  • Floor Scraping: Assists in removing old coatings, mastic, or tiles.
