Frequently Asked Questions
What is diamond grinding and why is it necessary?
Diamond grinding is a mechanical surface preparation process that uses diamond-embedded grinding discs to remove surface contaminants, level uneven areas, and create the proper surface profile for coating adhesion. It's essential for ensuring your epoxy or polyaspartic coating bonds properly and lasts for decades.
How long does the diamond grinding process take?
Typically 1-2 days depending on the size and condition of your floor. We can grind up to 5,000 square feet per day with our professional equipment. The process includes initial assessment, grinding, dust collection, and final cleaning.
Will diamond grinding create a lot of dust?
No, we use advanced dust collection systems that capture 99% of dust during grinding. Our equipment connects directly to industrial vacuums, keeping your space clean and safe throughout the process.
Can you grind around obstacles and tight spaces?
Yes, we have various sized grinders including small handheld units for edges and corners. We can work around equipment, pillars, and other permanent fixtures to ensure complete surface preparation.
What's the difference between diamond grinding and shot blasting?
Diamond grinding provides more precise control and creates a smoother, more uniform surface profile. It's less aggressive than shot blasting and doesn't leave embedded media in the concrete, making it ideal for coating applications.
How do I know if my floor needs diamond grinding?
Signs include visible surface contaminants, uneven areas, existing failed coatings, or if you want maximum coating performance. We provide free assessments to determine if grinding is needed for your specific project.
