Shot blasting is an essential process for preparing industrial floors for coating, ensuring a clean and textured surface for optimal adhesion. This technique involves propelling steel shot at high velocity onto the concrete surface, effectively removing contaminants and creating a rough profile. Liquid Floors specializes in this precise and efficient method, delivering superior results that enhance the durability and longevity of industrial floor coatings.

Improved Adhesion
Shot blasting significantly improves the adhesion of coatings to the concrete surface. By creating a textured profile, it allows coatings to mechanically bond to the substrate, ensuring a stronger and more durable application. Without this crucial step, coatings may fail to adhere properly, leading to premature peeling or chipping.
Contaminant Removal
Proper vacuuming ensures that the floor is free from particles that can interfere with the coating application. By thoroughly cleaning the surface, the vacuuming process helps enhance the performance and lifespan of the industrial-grade coatings applied afterward.
Enhanced Durability
By shot blasting the concrete surface, micro-cracks and weak layers are removed, resulting in a more durable substrate. This process not only prepares the surface for optimal coating performance but also strengthens the concrete itself. As a result, the finished floor is more resilient to heavy traffic, impacts, and other industrial stresses, ensuring a longer-lasting and more reliable flooring solution.
