Shot Blast Floor Marking

Shot Blast Floor Preparation Services

To obtain durability for floor markings or coatings, the substrate must be adequately prepared to enable a clear key between the materials. As a minimum, we would always advise that shot blast floor preparation needs to be undertaken and is a process where a machine fires small metal ball beads to the concrete slab in a controlled process.

The impact of this process causes the surface area of the slab to break up and come away, leaving a clean area for materials to be applied to. The machinery involved in the process is all self-contained, ensuring no dust or debris will affect the working area. The team also covers the working area with a magnetic sweeper and vacuum before any new paint application.

Markings or coatings prepared in this way have a much longer lifespan than markings that are unprepared, scabbled or grinded due to the fact that the shot blast process evenly covers all the area it passes whereas other methods can be very sporadic and uneven coverage meaning some sections of the paint application could not key as required and leading to failure over time.
