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 prepared using shot blast floor preparation have a significantly longer lifespan than unprepared floor markings. Because the shot blast process covers the entire surface area evenly, paint adhesion is consistent throughout – unlike scabbling or grinding, which can leave sporadic coverage and cause premature paint failure in untreated sections.
