In the concrete re-surfacing and decorative surface industry the best way to prep a concrete surface is by Shotblasting the exisiting concrete so that the new product has a clean surface to bond to.

Shot blasting is more or less dust free.

Did you know it is possible to level concrete slabs?

Ardex has a self leveling  product to apply min. 1/4″ and thicker.

The slab will need to be prepped right, but the results are awesome.

We can either level the floor to be covered with a flooring material or just use a SDT material and stain it, or leave it clear coated. We call that a designer floor.

Warehouse floors can also be leveled and the product is fork lift approved. As a new addition to the product line we can level exterior concrete surfaces like, parking lots, parking garages, any concrete surface that is collecting water. We add a self leveler to adjust the draining issues.

Garage floors or porches that slant one direction can be leveled in case you are planning on enclosing the area and making it part of the living area now.

As with all overlays prep work is very important!!!!!
