Floor Preperation

New industrial flooring is only ever as good as the ground it sits on.

You may have bought the highest quality product on the market, but if you fail to prepare the ground before installation, it’s incredibly unlikely you’ll get the desired results.

That’s why – whatever the size or nature of your project – it’s important to invest in proper preparation, such as that offered by the professional floor preparation experts here at Quest Industrial Flooring Ltd.

What does the commercial floor preparation process involve?

The first step to laying new commercial floor coverings should be contracting a floor preparation team.

They will come to your site and examine the current subfloor, be that timber or concrete floor, before making a plan to strip away debris, grease, and grime and get your subfloors in tip-top condition once more.

Your commercial surface preparation team will then use a variety of high-tech apparatus and advanced methods – all designed to ensure the substrate is:

– Properly clean and free from particles of debris and grease

– Level

– Dry

– Structurally sound

As a UK leading specialist, here at Quest we currently offer floor preparation – as part of our standard packages, which includes laying industrial flooring solutions afterwards or as a standalone service – giving customers of all kinds an option that works for their budget and project needs.

    - What will happen during proper preparation?

    Our team has many years of experience in the field of floor surface preparation and is always happy to take on a new challenge – no matter the sector or the state of your current resin or concrete floor.

    This experience means that no matter what type of floor coating you wish to install, we can help – and will ensure you get the best results every time.

    To make this possible, we will likely use one of the following surface preparation techniques, including:

    - 1. HTC Diamond Grinding

    Sometimes referred to as concrete grinding, HTC diamond grinding is a revolutionary process, which mechanically cleans the surface and removes imperfections using a single grinding head with diamond tooling segments rather than a blade.

    HTC Diamond Grinding is a particularly good option if you plan to install a thin resin or floor coating as it creates an incredibly smooth finish.

    Other benefits include:

    – Easily removing almost anything – from floor paint, epoxy screed, old carpet, adhesive residue, and more.

    – Being small and flexible – the whole floor surface can be prepared for new flooring with ease.

    – Reduced noise during grinding – this can make a big difference for businesses that have to work around renovations.

    - 2. Shot Blasting

    Shot blasting is an alternative to concrete grinding that can be used to remove old coatings, dirt, paint, and other contaminants that can affect the texture of concrete floors.

    It involves a motor and a centrifugal wheel that pushes or shoots metal beads or pellets at the flooring in question to remove debris.

    Benefits of this method include:

    – Unwanted materials are collected by the machines after blasting – speeding up the clean-up process.

    – Most subfloor types are suitable for shot blasting – so more premises than ever can consider it.

    – It’s environmentally friendly and uses no chemicals.

    - How to know if your commercial floor needs to be replaced?

    Just as tree roots can turn a concrete surface or asphalt into a bumpy and crumbling mess, uneven and damaged subfloors can ruin the appearance of any surface coating you have installed, no matter how hardwearing it proposes to be.

    Subfloors that are improperly prepared can result in floor coverings that:

    – Crack

    – Become unlevel

    – Pool water

    – Roll up

    – Dimple

    – Come away from seals and subfloors

    It doesn’t matter if you or your chosen professionals install flooring solutions exactly as per the manufacturer’s instructions, if the plywood or concrete floors below are badly prepared, the results could range from plain unsightly in the best-case scenario, to complete flooring failure in the worst.

    FLOOR PREPARATION FAQS

    WHAT IS FLOOR PREPARATION?

    Floor preparation is the first (and, arguably, the most important) step in the installation process. Essentially, it’s the ‘unseen work’ – that ensures that your new industrial flooring can be laid correctly and prevents issues such as peeling, bubbling, and unevenness further down the line.

    The existing flooring is first demolished and removed using specialist equipment. Any dirt and contaminants are mechanically cleaned away. State-of-the-art machinery can also be used to smooth and level the surface – thus creating the ideal subfloor for installation that can make a huge difference to the final results of the project.

    As such, before any projects involving performance flooring, your first step should always be seeking the expertise of floor prep specialists.

    HOW MUCH DOES PROFESSIONAL FLOOR PREPARATION COST?

    The exact price for professional preparation varies depending on several factors, including the size of the space and the type of flooring to be removed.

    But as leaders in the industry, we strive to be as competitive as possible. Our services are professional and efficient, yet available for a very reasonable price – particularly if combined with new resinpolished concrete, or industrial flooring.
