Mechanical abrasion is widely recognised as the industry standard for subfloor preparation. By removing laitance, weak material, and surface contaminants, we create a clean, stable base that ensures a strong bond between the resin and the substrate. Equally important is achieving the correct level of profiling. Thin film coatings require a finer texture, while thicker screeds and high-build systems need a deeper key. Our equipment – from Shotblasters and Grinders to Planers and Multi-Strippers – is designed to deliver this precision, meeting the exact requirements of each resin system.
Preparation does not end with new installations. Resin floors often need to be refurbished, repaired, or replaced. Existing coatings, failed resins, or contamination must be effectively removed before new systems can be applied. With our range of diamond tooling and abrasive consumables, we help contractors achieve consistent results while maximising productivity and minimising downtime.
This focus on refurbishment over replacement also brings significant sustainability benefits. Many resin floors can be restored to full performance without the need for complete removal. By mechanically re-profiling worn or damaged surfaces, we extend the life of the flooring system, reduce waste, and minimise disruption for end users.
