Most Shotblasting jobs will have no disposal of waste cost, but some may. The deciding factor is (How many square metres require for shotblasting is the deciding factor on your disposal of waste charge as the larger the job, the more silica dust bags will be produced. Most jobs will have no disposal fee.)
What Is Shot Blasting Typically Used For?
– To Clean And Prepare Surfaces:
Such as steel, concrete, and asphalt. Shot Blasting is the quickest and most affordable way to remove thick layers of concrete per pass. You can choose up to 10 different bead options for different results while Shot Blasting. Similar to Concrete Grinding. Shot Blasting also has a range of different abrasives to choose from. Different types of abrasive beads are used to achieve your desired results.
– To Remove Top Layers & Coatings:
remove coatings like paint and epoxy. Shot Blasting is a great way to tackle tough and thick coatings that regular Concrete Grinders cannot penetrate. When it comes to a thick coating in places such as warehouses, Shot Blasting is the best method and quickest method.
– To Remove Markings & Rubber:
Remove line markings from highways, runways, industrial floors, and more.
– To Expose The Aggregate:
Abrasive blastings, such as sandblasting or shot blasting, can be used to expose the aggregate after the concrete has hardened and been set. However, this procedure is not suggested if you want to preserve the exposed aggregate’s colour and shape because it can break and diminish the entire look.
– Preparation Of Line Marking On Polished Floors:
Painting on polished floors without abrasion of the floor prior to painting is essentially like painting on glass. The paint will not penetrate the floor and will not have a rough surface to grip. The paint will be sitting on top of the floor and once a vehicle tyre turns on it, the paint will dislodge immediately. Shot Blasting machines are used to prepare the area where line markings are applied to a polished floor to ensure the paint has a rough surface to which it can grip so it doesn’t flake off.
– Removal Of Line Marking:
Shot Blasting is the best way to remove unwanted line markings. This is because the Shot Blasting machine moves in a straight, crisp line which results in a cleaner removal of paint. Once the removal process is completed, a surface seal is a great option to seal over the rough concrete and blend the treated surface back in with the rest of the floor
– To Clean And Prepare Surfaces, Such As Steel, Concrete, And Asphalt:
Shot Blasting is the quickest and most affordable way to remove thick layers of concrete per pass. You can choose up to 10 different bead options for different results while Shot Blasting. Similar to Concrete Grinding. Shot Blasting also has a range of different abrasives to choose from. Different types of abrasive beads are used to achieve your desired results.

Shot blasting is a great way to tackle tough and thick coatings that regular Concrete Grinders cannot penetrate. When it comes to a thick coating in places such as warehouses, Shot Blasting is the best method and quickest method.
– To Remove Markings, Rubber, And Asphalt, From Highways, Runways, Industrial Floors, And More:
Shot Blasting improves the micro-texture of the concrete and asphalt pavement surfaces; increasing skid resistance friction values and texture depth. Shot Blasting is an effective method for Highways, Runways, and Industrial Floors.
Is Shot Blasting Better Than Concrete Grinding?
Shot Blasting is often significantly faster than Concrete Grinding in situations where both could be used. In addition to the time saved, the consumables needed for Concrete Grinders tend to be a lot more expensive than the consumables needed for Shot Blasting.
How Many MM Can A Shot Blaster Remove Per Pass?
The Shot Blasting process is used to remove thick coatings up to 10MM / Per Pass as well as shave small highs in concrete slabs up to 2MM – 3MM / Per Pass.
It should be noted that depending on what equipment is used will be the deciding factor of how many MM can be removed per pass; other factors may include:
– How many layers there are
– What Equipment are you using
– How thick the coating is (0 – 10mm)
– The condition of the Coating that requires Shot Blasting
– The condition of the Concrete that requires Shot Blasting
– What level of power can be provided? (10AMP > 15AMP OR 3PHASE)
What Is Shot Blasting Concrete?
Shot Blasting machines concentrate these beads in one area at extremely high speeds to clear materials. Typically, this blasting method is used for metals and concrete, and it’s preferred for its surface preparation ability and environmental friendliness.
Shot Blasting Concrete works by using an airless, centrifugal wheel that propels blast media at a high velocity in a controlled pattern and direction. A blast wheel is accelerated at the concrete. Shot Blasting is a one-step preparation technique that removes laitance, paint, old coatings, dirt, and other contaminants and profiles the concrete surface all at once. It will not remove oil-ingress and water.
Shot Blasting machines propel thousands of shot beads as small as 1mm thick and up to 2mm thick over the surface of the floor to dislodge a thin layer of concrete. Once dislodged the loose concrete and shot beads are recycled back into the Shot Blasting machine, with the concrete dust going into an attached vacuum and the shot beads being recycled and used again in the same process.
Shot Blasting beads hit the concrete flooring at high pressure and speed in order to leave it in an optimal condition to then apply a new coating.
Shot Blasting machines are the professionals’ preferred solution for the cleaning and preparation of surfaces before applying a coating, paint, tiles, resin, ETC. It is completely Dust-Free with a high rate of removal, cost-effective & minimum downtime.
Captive Shot Blasting is very effective for the removal of concrete laitance, latex, old coatings, and contaminants, and for creating non-slip surfaces. The depth of the profile is variable allowing different textures from light abrasion to fully exposed aggregates depending on the floor specification.
Shot Blasting is a great way to prepare concrete floors for the application of line marking (to ensure the paint has a rough surface to adhere to) or to remove unwanted line markings.
However, it’s important to know that they can also be used on different types of floors, such as asphalt, concrete, and even steel.
What Are The Benefits Of Shot Blasting Concrete?
Shot Blasting Concrete is highly beneficial to any contractor who needs to prepare floors to give the ultimate anchor pattern for floor coatings, screeds and indeed, smart polished concrete contractors who want to massively reduce the time taken to grind down to the aggregate.
Golden Rule:
Use the smallest shot that will get the job done! The reason for this is:
– The Smaller Shot Will Blast Much Faster:
The job will go a lot faster as you will do more square metres per hour because the machine is far more powerful than a Concrete Grinder.
– You Won’t Take Out The Unnecessary Depth Of Concrete:
Taking unnecessary depth only wears out the blast wheel and wears liners unnecessarily which means more depth will be taken away, which results in a coating or screed to be required to fill it.
– In The Case Of A Coating:
A beautiful fine-blasted finish will cover nicely, but an over-blasted surface will increase costs to fill the profile with epoxy if you use the wrong shot.
If you need to create a bigger profile for any reason then a bigger shot is the way to go. But still, the same rule applies; use the smallest shot that will give you the profile at the best time.
Shotblasting has the advantage that it is far faster and less costly per square metre to prepare floors and give excellent adhesion. Many coatings contractors will Shot Blast lightly, then diamond grind lightly, to get an excellent finish and give your customer the ultimate adhesion on the job. It’s faster, quicker and less costly.

The Dangers Of Silica Dust In The Shot Blasting Concrete Industry
In our workplace, we hang a “Silica Dust Warning Sign” to let our clients know that it is not safe to enter this working area while we are Shot Blasting Concrete without wearing the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that our employees are wearing. Even though we are using high-powered dust extractors made to handle the silica dust that our Concrete Grinder is producing, small amounts may still escape from our concrete grinder and enter the air. This is why our employees wear P2 dust masks.
Please do not ever attempt to enter the workspace without a P2 dust mask while our employees are Shot Blasting Concrete during your job. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Some dust particles can be so small that they are not visible; these are referred to as respirable particles. Respirable silica dust particles are those that are small enough to breathe in and penetrate deep into the lungs causing permanent damage that can lead to serious illness or death. Silica dust is also linked to the development of auto-immune disorders and chronic renal (kidney) disease.
Crystalline silica dust can be harmful when it’s inhaled into your lungs over a long period at low to moderate levels, or short periods at high levels.
When crystalline silica dust is inhaled it can cause silicosis, a scarring of the lungs. Silicosis is a serious and incurable disease, with symptoms including shortness of breath, coughing, fatigue, and weight loss. In severe cases, the damage caused to the lungs by silicosis can require a lung transplant or may lead to death. Silica dust is harmful when inhaled into your lungs. As it is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand, you can be breathing it in without knowing.
Breathing in silica dust can also cause other serious diseases, such as:
– Lung Cancer
– Kidney Disease
– Autoimmune Diseases, such as Scleroderma
Construction and demolition employees can be at especially high risk of developing these diseases.
Is Shot Blasting Concrete Hard?
Yes, Shot Blasting Concrete can be a difficult and time-consuming project and the challenges often remain hidden until the project is underway. Depending on the installation method and how the flooring system or coating has been installed.
If you have a Shot Blasting Concrete job that is over 10 square metres, it is considered a hard task, that will be expensive and frustrating to attempt to do yourself. It’s often cheaper to hire a Shot Blasting Concrete contractor than to hire the tools, PPE, and other equipment required to attempt the project yourself.
There are several different installation methods when it comes to flooring systems and a huge range of different factors when it comes to floor coatings. We only recommend attempting Shot Blasting Concrete yourself if the project is under 10 square metres and you have the appropriate tools, PPE, and dust extraction equipment.
Shot Blasting Concrete equipment can be incredibly hard and frustrating to use. At Shot Blasting Concrete Sydney our team has specialised for years in the field of Grinding Concrete.
Shot Blasting Concrete is normally best left up to a specialist team such as ourselves with the proper knowledge and equipment to do the job correctly while ensuring a smooth result while making sure the job is done correctly.
Floor Coatings can have a huge range of different factors which can make it more difficult or easier to remove. Shot Blasting Concrete is one of the most difficult services. Shot Blasting Concrete can be incredibly hard to learn and incredibly dangerous without the proper Concrete Grinder and safety equipment.
Even if you head down to your local shop and hire a powerful Concrete Grinder. If you get the wrong diamond and you are not educated on how to use the equipment you could end up spending a huge amount of time and thousands of dollars by mistake while attempting to do the project yourself.
Even if you do remove the coating, you may have ruined your concrete slab in the process and end up spending more money than if you hired a professional Shot Blasting Concrete expert.
We’ll get your job done in one day, quote your job all over the phone and the job will be Dust-Free all while keeping our prices below our competitors while maintaining the highest standard possible! It doesn’t get much better than that!

How Do I Work Out How Much My Job Will Cost?
How To Use A Square Metre Calculator – A square metre calculator is very simple to use. To calculate square meters, you need to know the length and width of each area (Floor plans or manual measuring can help with this). This is also referred to as the area of the shape; most commonly, it’s a simple square or rectangle, but for more advanced areas, it can be harder and different shapes.
Square metres are calculated by Length x Width
For example 1 x 1 = 1 square metre
For example 7 x 4 = 28 square metres
For example 14 x 1 = 14 Square Metres
Or you can simply email Carpet Removal Sydney your “Floor Plan” to make it easier for you. We will calculate the square metres for you, but sometimes a Floor Plan may be missing measurements (most commonly the hallways), so those may need to be manually measured, or we may need to “guess” the rough measurement of that area.
Here is an example of a floor plan sent to us with “Missing Measurements.”
How to Calculate Square Meters
You might find yourself needing the area of a room or other space in square meters for a flooring, renovation, or landscaping project. To obtain such a measurement, you can measure the area of the space in square meters in a few simple steps. Follow along to learn how to calculate it yourself, or simply use the calculator above.
Step One: Measure Length and Width
In order to calculate the area of a space, you must know its dimensions. For example, if the shape of the space is a square or rectangle, then start by measuring the length and width of the space in meters using a tape measure or other measuring tool.
If your measurements are in another unit of measure, centimetres, for example, then you can either convert them to meters first, or you can find the area in another unit and convert them to square meters. We have some simple area conversion utilities, or you can convert yourself. If your length measurements are in centimetres, then divide by 100 to get meters.
If your area measurement is in square centimetres, then divide by 10,000 to get square meters.
If your space is not a square or rectangle, you may need to use a formula to calculate the area of a different shape. Or continue reading to see how to measure the area of oddly shaped rooms.
Step Two: Multiply Measurements Together
Once you have your measurements in meters, you can use the appropriate formula to calculate the area of the space in square meters. Continuing the example above for the square or rectangular room, now that you have a length and width measurement, you can find the area in square meters by multiplying the length and width together.
square meters = length × width
Measuring Oddly Shaped Rooms
Often, you’ll need to measure a space that’s not a perfect rectangle. It might be easiest to try to split up oddly shaped areas into separate shapes and measure the square meters of each of them separately.
Once that is complete, add up the individually calculated areas to find the total area of the space. You’ll also find that the formula above works great for rectangular areas. For other shapes, try our area calculator.
For example, see the formula below to see how to add two individually calculated areas of a complex space together.
total square meters = area 1 + area 2
FAQ’s
Are Square Metres and Metres The Same Thing?
No, square meters are a two-dimensional unit of area, whereas meters are a one-dimensional unit of length.
What Does 1 Square Metre Look Like?
One square meter is equal to a square that is 1 meter in width by 1 meter in height. For visual reference, a guitar is about 1 meter in length, so 1 square meter is approximately the area inside of a square made with guitars for edges.
Are Square Metres and Metres The Same Thing?
You can use square meters anytime you wish to know the area of space. Square meters are typically used for flooring, landscaping, and agricultural purposes.
How Many Square Metres Is A 10 x 10 Room?
A 10 m x 10 m room has an area of exactly 100 square meters, as shown by:
10 m × 10 m = 100 sq m
How Many Square Metres Is A 9 x 3 Room?
A 9 m x 3 m room has an area of exactly 27 square meters, as shown by:
9 m × 3 m = 127 sq m
What Does “Per Square Metre” Mean?
“Per square meter” is used whenever you are dividing some quantity by a total area, measured in square meters, for instance, to find a unit price. For example, if you want to resurface a 60 square meter lounge room and the total cost is $3,000, then the price per square meter is $50, as shown by:
$3,000 / 60 Square Metres = $50 per square meter
$3,000 divided by 60 Square Metres = $50 / Per Square Metre

Is There Magnesite Flooring In Your Property?
If your home was built in the 1920s – 1980s, likely, your home (Especially unit blocks in NSW) could potentially have Magnesite Flooring. Magnesite is present below a flooring system such as carpet. Magnesite is a product used as a noise preventative and a Floor Levelling agent.
Magnesite Flooring absorbs moisture (particularly in areas prone to moisture such as external walls, doorways, around shower recesses, near windows, laundries, etc.) Unfortunately, once Magnesite Flooring absorbs moisture, it starts a chemical reaction that will cause Concrete Cancer over long periods.
Because your Magnesite Flooring was laid 40 – 100 years ago, it has likely absorbed moisture over the many decades that it has been trapped under your flooring system, and it has most likely started to break down and lose its strength, making it an unsuitable Floor Levelling product that it once was, as well as very hollow, which destroys its soundproofing.
The best thing you can do to prevent further damage to your property and the concrete slab is to remove it ASAP. Magnesite Flooring consists of Magnesium Oxychloride, which may contain ASBESTOS.
Since it is a health hazard and a major safety risk in NSW, if you remove your flooring system and find out there is Magnesite under it.
YOU MUST remove your Magnesite Flooring for the safety of you and everyone else in your unit block.
Strata may pay to remove your Magnesite Flooring as it is considered “Common property”. Magnesite Flooring can cause Concrete Cancer, which is a major risk to everyone’s safety as well as the successful reinstallation of your new flooring system.
NO company will give you any form of warranty or insurance on any flooring installation job on a magnesite floor, which is another reason why it should always be removed.
Are Our Shot Blasting Concrete Services Dust-Free?
Will The Job Be 100% Dust-Free?
We Shot Blast Concrete Dust-Free due to how bad the Silica dust is to inhale from Shot Blasting Concrete, Silica dust is generated in workplace mechanical processes such as crushing, cutting, drilling, grinding, sawing, or polishing of natural stone or man-made products that contain silica. Some dust particles can be so small that they are not visible; these are commonly referred to as respirable particles. it will also get all over the walls, floor, and ceiling which can be incredibly frustrating. Shot Blasting Concrete will also trigger smoke alarms if they are not isolated or covered, It is important that before our arrival you isolate or cover your fire alarms to avoid an accidental set-off.
Our specialist Dust-Free Shot Blasting Concrete team uses commercial high-powered dust extractors attached to commercial Dust-Free Shot Blasters to achieve as close to a Dust-Free Shot Blasting Concrete experience as possible.
We will Shot Blasting your concrete slab with the use of high-powered Shot Blasting equipment that is connected directly to a high-powered commercial dust extractor.
Unfortunately, small amounts of dust are still produced and cannot be eliminated even with the most expensive high-end equipment and the latest technology. (Roughly 95 – 99.99% of the dust is still sucked up by a 3-engine high-powered commercial dust extractor that is plugged directly into the equipment but sometimes a small amount of dust still escapes).
If you are concerned about the small amounts of dust that may get into areas that we are not working in such as the kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, etc. we would advise that you seal off those areas that we are not working in with plastic and sticky tape before our team arrives to avoid delays.
Get A Better Understanding Of Just How Powerful Our Dust Extractors Are
Dustmaster® series dust extractors have been specially designed to handle the demands of the concrete grinding industry, which has high-loading fine dust.
This is the H-Class (often referred to as HEPA) Dust extractor that is certified to handle hazardous dust. These amazing dust collectors have been certified to capture up to 99.99% of the dust.
Dust extraction in our industry is often more important than the actual grinding itself. Without it, we could breathe the fine dust, which could be detrimental to our health.
– Featuring dual 10A motors, maximum performance is ensured. The longopac bagging system makes handling and disposal of hazardous dust much easier.
– Performance is maintained by the rotary filter cleaning mechanism, which automatically cleans the filter during operation.
– This machine has a single durable toggle switch for each motor.
– A deep clean is achieved while running whilst the motor is turned off. The rotary filter cleaning can be turned off when the DustMaster is not in use using the rotary switch on the front panel.
– H-Class (H13) dust extractors must pass the 0.3µm DOP test that certifies they capture no less than 99.99% of the dust.
– The rotary filter cleaning system is very effective and takes only 10-20 seconds to deep clean the filter. You may never have to remove the filter to clean it again, keeping your job and your hands cleaner!
– You won’t find a better piece of equipment to handle your job. His is the most high-end piece of equipment that we can use for your job. The next level up would require a 15A power supply, which would require you to supply us a generator on-site as residential power only has 10A.
