Surface Preparation for Commercial Flooring Projects
Surface preparation is the most critical step in any flooring project. Floortek provides concrete grinding, shot blasting, scarification and diamond preparation services as a standalone scope or as part of a complete flooring package.
Profile specifications (CSP 1–9) are matched to the coating or finish system. We have the equipment and crew to handle everything from a single retail tenancy to a multi-level commercial project — and we don’t over-grind.
What We Deliver
- Diamond grinding (CSP 1–6)
- Shot blasting (CSP 3–9)
- Scarification & milling
- Adhesive & coating removal
- Line marking removal
- Edge work & detail areas

Our Process
Surface Assessment
We assess the existing surface condition, contamination type and the required CSP profile for the specified finish or coating system.
Equipment Selection
We select the right equipment — grinder, shot blaster or scarifier — for the required profile, area size and access constraints.
Profile Grinding
The field area is ground to the specified CSP using diamond tooling, producing a consistent, clean substrate.
Edge Work & Detail Areas
Hand grinders and edging equipment address perimeters, columns and any areas inaccessible to the main machine.
Vacuum, Clean & Sign-Off
The prepared surface is vacuumed and inspected. We sign off the CSP achieved before handover to the coating trade.
