REMOVE WHICH TYPE OF FLOOR DO YOU WANT TO REMOVE? THIN COATINGS FROM HARD FLOORS THIN COATINGS FROM SOFT FLOORS THICK AND RESILIENT COATINGS FROM HARD FLOORS SHOT BLASTING

METHODS TO REMOVE COATINGS There is more than one method to remove a coating from a floor. Choosing wisely between multiple methods to remove floors will enable you to achieve better results, reduce tooling cost, optimize labor time and and create better conditions for floor maintenance. Industries have different requirements from floor materials. Therefore, before removing a floor, you have to determine which surface preparation methods are the most suitable in terms of budget, efficiency, quality and of course the finished result. Industrial floors are subject to movements of loads, chemical...

METHODS TO PREPARE FLOORS Proper surface preparation of existing concrete is essential for achieving a successful project including resurfacers, polymermodified or self-leveling overlays, sealers, coatings, or stains. Since there are many products available for overlays and restoration, it is important you know the surface condition requirements for the specific product you plan to use. Taking steps to correctly prepare the existing concrete surface will save you time and money, and can substantially reduce the possibility of coating failure. The International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI)...

REFINE REFINE CONCRETE FLOORS Decorative floors are a new, fast developing market trend. Concrete floors are no longer considered as sole supports, they have become part of the decoration itself while offering superbly functional features. • Polishing • Bush hammering • Grooving REFINE ASPHALT FLOORS Removing the binder of asphalt surfaces in order to show the natural beauty of the coloured aggregate particles is often considered as the best solution to enhance aesthetic on asphalt because it saves maintenance costs. Asphalt can also be polished for a smooth surface with exposed aggregates. •...

METHODS TO REFINE FLOORS Floors are getting more and more focus from architects and facility owners when it comes to functional and aesthetic specifications. Mechanically refining materials which are already part of a construction structure, such as concrete, is often a sustainably smart choice. REFINE NATURAL STONE FLOORS Just as the name suggests, natural stone is stone created by nature. Natural stone is taken from the Earth’s crust and shaped to the desired size and form through sawing, grinding or polishing. Its global occurrence, as well as its beautiful and varied appearance, has made...

REFINE CONCRETE FLOORS POLISHED CONCRETE GRINDING WITH POLISHING TOOLS The Husqvarna method to polish concrete is called Superfloor™. It consists of a set of pre-defined and wellproven processes including a complete concept of machines, tools and chemicals for creating a mechanically refined, polished and diffusion open concrete surface with defined resulting surface metrics (Ra, DOI and GU). Superfloor polished concrete floors are very durable, have a low lifecycle cost, high slip resistance and are aesthetically pleasing, making them a popular choice for industrial and commercial facilities....

REFINE ASPHALT FLOORS POLISHED ASPHALT WET GRINDING WITH POLISHING TOOLS Polished asphalt exposes the aggregates in the asphalt course.This is done to promote the various colours existing between the bond and the aggregates. The final result has the look of polished concrete or marble. It has a very smooth surface with a high quality feel which maintains the original properties of the asphalt. Polished asphalt can adapt to many places with high traffic, such as exhibition halls, schools, museums, offices, entrances, pedestrian walk ways etc. ASPHALT WITH EXPOSED AGGREGATES Natural exposed aggregate...

REFINE NATURAL STONE FLOORS POLISHED MARBLE, LIMESTONE, GRANITE AND CEMENT-BASED TERRAZZO When speaking about natural stone for floors, we mainly think about granite, limestone and marble. We developed special grinding methods for the various types of floors. We have also included cement-based terrazzo, while not actually natural stone, it contains marble and is smoothed using a grinding method that is much the same as for natural stone. WET OR DRY GRINDING AVAILABLE BUSH HAMMERED COBBLESTONES / BRICKS Many cities are facing problems due to slippery surfaces on squares, sidewalks, pavements made...

RENOVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF REFINED FLOORS REPAIR OF EXPANSION JOINTS The shaving technology can be used on surfaces such as concrete to create a trench in the floor. By using a certain number of sawing blades and drum settings, it is possible to create a trench up to 30 cm in width. MAINTENANCE OF POLISHED CONCRETE Polished concrete is an attractive flooring solution, especially in industrial and commercial settings. To maintain the particular attributes of polished concrete (e.g. gloss, slip resistance), we recommend cleaning with diamond impregnated Hiperclean pads and periodical maintenance...
