The Power of Concrete Floor Preparation: Why Grinding is Key Im sure you know that the concrete floor preparation process is crucial for a durable, long-lasting, and visually appealing finish. Grinding is a key method of mechanical preparation that offers several advantages, including: - Increased surface area for a uniform finish - Improved bond strength between the concrete and finish coat - Enhanced durability and reduced risk of scratches - Better appearance with a gloss coatings Grinding is particularly effective for preparing concrete floors for resin finishes, ensuring a strong bond between the concrete and resin and reducing the risk of delamination and cracks. To get the best out of our preparation process for you we : - Use high-quality #scanmaskin equipment and diamond discs or abrasive pads - Maintain the right speed to avoid overheating or damaging the concrete - Continuously inspect the surface for imperfections - Use a dust collector to minimize dust and debris At ACL Industrial Flooring, we know that proper floor preparation with grinding is essential for durable resin flooring.

Moisture vapor emissions are the enemy of floor goods. Left untreated, moisture in concrete slabs can cause problems — big problems — including discoloration, blistering, mold, curling, and ultimately full flooring failure! To protect finished floors, Structis proactively mitigates slab moisture in renovations and new concrete construction. Based on your conditions and requirements, our subfloor prep experts will select the best treatment to avoid costly flooring replacement or repairs in the future. Structis combats slab moisture with these proven Maxxon solutions: • Maxxon Commercial MVP One — Ready-to-use, zero-VOC moisture barrier and primer that’s ready for underlayment or patch in 30 – 60 minutes. • Maxxon Commercial MVP Two-Part Epoxy — Zero VOCs, 100% solids epoxy coating for interior use over concrete with high moisture and pH levels. Cures in as little as 4 hours. • Maxxon Commercial Isolate — Two-part, water-based epoxy that blocks moisture and chemical residue from rising to the slab surface. Can be capped in as little as 6 hours. Why risk flooring failures or repairs? Reach out to Structis for lasting results. https://hubs.la/Q02Rj8Tb0 info@structis.com 888-232-3987 #moisturemigitation #concreteprep #flooringcontractor

Concrete is one of the most durable, versatile, and low-maintenance flooring surfaces available for commercial and industrial buildings, but over time and with improper care, your exposed concrete will become dull, dirty, and stained. Why makeover your exposed concrete floors? • Make your floor shiny, beautiful, and stain-resistant. • Remove years of dirt, grease build-up, and floor stickers. • Strip peeling paint and restore your concrete’s natural beauty. • Reduce maintenance needs by using a high-performance clear coating for all your high-traffic areas. • Add a barrier against oil, chemicals, bacteria, and regular aging. Prolong the life and durability of the surface with periodic deep cleaning and coating of your exposed concrete. • Enhance your floor’s appearance with colored dyes or change the gloss level. • Reduce concrete dusting, staining, mold, mildew, and efflorescence (salts rising to the surface of porous materials).

'Minimal Prep'... part of the problem! Resilient (vinyl, rubber, linoleum) flooring tends to follow every contour of a substrate, essentially forming a skin. Joints, cracks, depressions, protrusions, and seemingly insignificant imperfections on a substrate surface may telegraph through and become very obvious after the product is installed. 'Minimal prep' is an overused term in flooring that creates ambiguity in the process of preparing a subfloor. A preferred alternative is to reference available standards that direct testing, preparation and work responsibility for this critical stage of an installation. Most manufacturers of resilient flooring reference 'ASTM F-710 Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring'. NFCA’s Floor Covering Reference Manual of Canada also notes this standard but goes further (in its section PART A12 Substrate Preparation) to explain who is responsible for what to get the work done. Clearly assigning this work responsibility is critical to avoid conflict and delays during late-stage construction. Together, these documents go a long way to solving the long-standing issue of 'what is minimal preparation for the floor covering installer'. If you are caught up in a dispute over who is responsible for what preparatory work, then contact us via our website at https://lnkd.in/djuSHRQH #flooring #commercialflooring #minimalprep #workresponsibility #floorcoveringreferencemanual

𝐌𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐜 𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐩𝐨𝐱𝐲 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬 Know what’s worse than having a flooring issue? Having your floor fail. If you install epoxy coating to a lower-level commercial floor or basement floor, moisture will become your biggest enemy. Moisture doesn’t just disappear—it seeps through concrete slab. And if the slab isn’t tested before installation, it will cause cracking, bubbling, or even coating failure. A simple moisture test in the beginning will save you from having to spend a chunk of your budget down the road. As always, follow your flooring manufacturer’s recommendations.

EPOXY vs POLISHED CONCRETE- which wins in Utah? We’re frequently asked to compare Epoxy vs Polished Concrete as a flooring solution. In a dry state like Utah, Epoxy is almost always the best objective choice. Why? It’s cheaper, faster to apply, chemical resistant, reflects light 3x better than polished concrete (making spaces brighter), and is VERY durable. If a floor, for whatever reason, has a damp foundation, or poor drainage, then the porous nature of the polished concrete may come in for the win. Epoxy penetrates and seals the concrete, which is what makes it so durable and resistant to shock and chemicals. Porous concrete “breathes” and allows the underlayment to dry over time. On the other hand, because it’s porous, spills can penetrate and stain ANY concrete, where an Epoxy floor would just need to be wiped. The subjective benefit to polished concrete is the very distinctive finish. That said, Epoxy flooring has a near infinite choice of colors and can be customized for color, texture and even static properties (hello server room!). Whatever your industrial coating application, give us a call- our expertise will save you thousands!
