Concrete Floor Grinder Prep Machines
Concrete floors require a rough textured surface in order to achieve maximum epoxy adhesion - the rougher the better. The process of scarifing the floor is called concrete floor prep or surface preparation. The most efficient way to scarify floors is with a concrete floor prep machine, also called a grinder or a scarifier. The diamond plates in these floor prep tools roughen up the concrete because it doesn't take as long as older methods such as acid etching. With an efficient concrete floor grinder, you can roughen the floor, sweep the debris away, and apply your epoxy in one day. Additionally, if you are coating concrete that has been finished with a sealer, it is necessary to use a floor grinder to prepare the concrete. Some of our blades and discs are specially formulated to remove mastic and previous coatings. A concrete floor prep machine is an investment, but it is one that will pay off over and over again with the ease and efficiency it provides for each and every job.
