For over 25 years we have been preparing concrete floors across New Zealand.
Without a doubt this is the most important factor in any flooring project. It's the hours, days and sometimes weeks of work, that no-one ever sees that make the difference between a great job and a disaster.
Failure to prepare - be prepared for failure.
A Solid understanding of substrates and flooring systems is required to ensure the surface preparation meets the standard.
Too many contractors take short cuts with floor prep, because the customer can't see it - But it often comes back to haunt them.
Diamond grinding is often the best way to prepare a surface. It removes surface contamination and opens the surface for maximum bonding of the new flooring.
Having a flat floor can be important, floors with undulations can cause furniture to not sit properly, can also cause additional wear on high points. We often use a combination of grinding and floor levelling compounds to flatten or level floors.
Rising damp or hydrostatic pressure quickly causes issues with floor coverings or coatings, as well as making the space unhealthy with high moisture content or mold. We deal with damp floors with special coatings designed to keep moisture at bay.
Often it's out with the old, before it's in with the new. The removal of vinyl, carpet, tiles, wooden floors or glue and coatings is all part of a days work for us.
It's not an easy job, but we've got some tools to make it a little easier.
