Why Do I Need Concrete Grinding?

Why do you need Concrete Grinding? Concrete Grinding is used for a large range of different reasons. Concrete Grinding can enhance safety by transforming a rough and damaged floor into a smooth, hard surface, reducing the risk of injury for homeowners and visitors. Additionally, when applied to driveways, it can create a quieter and more slip-resistant surface for vehicles.

If you are looking to lay any floor covering to a concrete slab you must first check that the concrete slab is clean, perfectly level with no minor bumps (even 0.1mm can be an issue), and ready for the installation of the new flooring system that you have chosen EVERY flooring system except for carpet will require “Floor preparation” before installing your new flooring system (Excluding carpet).

Your new flooring system needs a clean, smooth, and porous slab to bond to. Any glue or cement residue or any minor bumps in the slab left between the concrete will affect the quality and durability of the new floor covering that is being installed and may result in the flooring system that you are installing failing.

Floor installers (all major companies) will not give you a warranty or simply won’t do your project if you haven’t had the Dust-Free Concrete Grinder come in to clean up your concrete slab as they won’t be able to give you a warranty on installing your new flooring system. Dust-Free Concrete Grinding is necessary to remove any glue residue and to level your floor to enable a clean installation of your new flooring system.

Dust-Free Concrete Grinding is also necessary to remove any trip hazards if you wish to use a concrete slab as your subfloor. It is especially important if the floors are going to be polished, as the quality of the concrete will show through.

Dust-Free Concrete Grinding the floors before the application of tiles, floorboards, vinyl, lino, slate, pebblecrete, parquet, laminate, epoxy, waterproofing membranes, floor levelling products, paint, etc. is the single biggest way to ensure the longevity of the floors as well as to ensure that you get your warranty from the installer/company that you chose to install your flooring system.

If you “skip“ the process of “Floor preparation” by not doing concrete grinding companies have the right to NOT give you any warranty on the installation of their flooring system that they have installed. So if it fails within even 7 days, it is YOUR issue and not there’s and you will NOT get a refund / free repair/replacement or anything like that so you could end up wasting tens of thousands of dollars purchasing and installing your new flooring system, only to have it fail within a short period because you chose to skip the concrete grinding or floor levelling (also known as floor preparation) process. This is why “Floor preparation” is so important.

The team we provide for you are experts in their field at removing floor coverings, adhesives, and compounds that make the surface uneven and difficult to reinstall a new underlay or flooring system too.

Our service is designed to provide a completely smooth and clean surface for our customers to do what they want. Our friendly team of experts is ready to assess your situation and consult with you on the best way to proceed with your Grinding Concrete Floor project.

Is Concrete Grinding Required Before I Install A New Coating Or Flooring System?

Yes, Concrete Grinding should always occur before the installation of a new Coating or Flooring System. The appropriate Floor Preparation before installing the new Coating or Flooring System system is also required.

To install a new Coating or Flooring System, you must ensure the following:
1) The previous Flooring System or Coating has been removed
2) All residue from the previous Flooring System or Coating has been removed
3) The appropriate floor preparation has been applied
– Concrete Cancer Repairs
– Concrete Crack Repairs
– Concrete Grinding
– Floor Levelling

Click Here To Learn More About Why Floor Preparation Is Required

Is Concrete Grinding Required After Flooring Removal?

Yes, if you have a CONCRETE subfloor, your Flooring has most likely been glued down. Once our team has removed your Flooring, you will see a glue residue that will need to be ground off your concrete using a Concrete Grinder. We need to grind your concrete to remove any remaining residue to allow the successful reinstallation of a new flooring system, coating, or floor levelling compound.

How Many MM Can You Grind Off A Slab?

The Concrete Grinding process is also used to level very small highs in concrete slabs up to 3 MM, grind expansion joints level, and prepare surfaces for the application of levelling compound or for the re-installation of floor coatings or floor coverings such as Carpet Tiles, Vinyl, Tiles, Timber Flooring as they all need a clean smooth and porous slab to bond too.

Concrete Grinders often only remove a thin layer of material from the surface of workpieces per pass. Typically, diamond grinding tools only remove between 0.25 MM to 0.50 MM of material for a maximum of 3 MM.

Industrial or heavy-duty Concrete Grinders with correct diamond tooling or other tooling can grind depths of up to 6 MM of material from the workpiece.

After this point, a ‘Concrete Scarifier‘ or ‘Concrete Shotblaster‘ must be used to get further depth.

Regarding how many MM can be taken off, please follow the guide below:

Concrete Grinding – Residential – (3MM MAX)
Concrete Grinding – Commercial – (6MM MAX)
Coating Removal – (6MM MAX)
Bump Removal – (8MM MAX)
Coating Removal – Double Layer – (12MM MAX)

Can You Grind A Uneven Slab?

Yes, we can grind an uneven concrete surface to level it (depending on the variations). Our professional Concrete Grinding team can quickly identify raised areas, often by pouring water on the floor or using laser measuring devices. Once these areas have been identified, our team will use a Concrete Grinder to create a smooth, clean, and level surface.

If your concrete slab has variations larger than 3mm this may affect our ability to be able to successfully leave a smooth, clean, and level surface. A standard Concrete Grinder that works on residential power (240V) can only grind up to 3MM variations in your concrete slab. Variations larger than that need to be fixed with:
– Floor Levelling Compounds
– Concrete Scarifiers
– Concrete Shot Blasters
– High Powered Concrete Grinders (15AMP or 3PHASE)

What Are The Advantages Of Concrete Grinding?

– Restore Concrete Surfaces

Concrete Grinding removes all imperfections and inconsistencies in the concrete up to 3mm, resulting in a smooth and usable surface. Old and damaged concrete surfaces can be restored to their former glory and used for years and years to come.

– Remove Paint, Epoxies, Dirt, Glue Residue, Waterproofing Membranes, Adhesives & Sealers

Concrete Grinding removes paint, epoxies, dirt, glue residue, waterproofing membranes, adhesives & sealers and other remnants left on the concrete. The Concrete Grinder rubs against the top layer of the floor leaving a smooth surface.

– Easily Install New Flooring Systems Without Failure (Tiles, Floorboards, Carpets, Vinyl, Lino, etc)

Once the Concrete Grinding has been completed and the smooth surface is left, any type of flooring option can be installed with ease. Floor preparation is key to the longevity of any kind of flooring option.

– Perfect For Warehouses, Shops, Offices etc

Concrete Grinding is perfect for warehouses that need a flawlessly smooth finish. Concrete Grinding ensures that the floors are in perfect working condition. It ensures not only the longevity of the floor but also its durability given the high-traffic nature of a warehouse, shop or office.

What Is And Is Not Included In Our Concrete Grinding Services?

It is YOUR responsibility to understand the difference. If you do not understand the service you require please CALL and speak to one of our employees.

So why do you need Concrete Grinding if you will still have to re-level your concrete with a Floor Levelling product?

The reason why it’s important to clean up your concrete slab is to allow the successful reinstallation of a Floor Levelling agent, flooring system or coating without it failing. If you don’t remove things like glues, paints, residues, etc. from your concrete slab before reinstalling a new flooring system or Floor Levelling agent. They won’t bond correctly to your concrete slab and will fail within a short time, if not straight away.

What Is The Difference Between Concrete Grinding and Concrete Polishing

What Is The Difference Between Concrete Grinding and Concrete Polishing?

There are some key differences between Concrete Grinding and Concrete Polishing. The terms can be confusing and the equipment used for both services are the same although the result is different. Here we will examine the difference between Concrete Grinding and Concrete Polishing so that you can be as informed as possible when it comes to your job site and make an informed decision on what service you require.

Concrete Grinding

Concrete Grinding involves an abrasive tool, like the Walk Behind Concrete Grinder or a Hand Held Concrete Grinder, in combination with a diamond disc or plug attachments combined with commercial silica dust extractors.

Concrete Grinders use rotating diamond teeth discs on specialised Concrete Grinding equipment to slowly shave off small portions of concrete and level, smooth, or clean the surface of a concrete slab to allow the successful reinstallation of a new Flooring System, Floor Coating or Floor Levelling product. Or simply have a clean, level, and smooth concrete floor.

Concrete Grinding is used to remove residues, imperfections, glues, bumps, spraycrete, paints, epoxies, waterproof membranes, stencil concrete, etc from your concrete slab.

Concrete Grinding is a MUST before installing a new flooring system, coating or floor levelling product to ensure that the new flooring system, coating or floor levelling product does not fail as they need a smooth, clean surface to bond to which is achieved through Concrete Grinding

Concrete Polishing

Polishing Concrete is very similar to sanding wood. Machines equipped with diamond-segmented abrasives (akin to sandpaper) are used to grind down concrete surfaces to the desired degree of shine and smoothness. When sanding wood, you gradually progress from coarser-grit to finer-grit abrasives. (In this case, grit is the particle size of the diamond.) The result is a glossy, mirror-like finish.

Polished Concrete Floors are achieved by Mechanically Polishing Concrete Floors through a series of steps using different grit diamond tooling. We start at a coarse #16 grit and work up to a possible #3000 grit for a high gloss mirror image finish. We can stop at different grit levels for your desired gloss finish.

During the process, the concrete is densified using a concrete hardener strengthening the surface of your concrete floor and enhancing the level of shine. The concrete is also grouted, and cracks will be filled with cement-based products or epoxy hardeners this process fills in air pockets and cracks that are exposed.

Once the process is finished our team applies a stain guard to help protect the floor against any contaminants. Our team uses the latest equipment, tooling, and chemicals to achieve the highest standard of Polished Concrete possible.

The Dangers Of Silica Dust In The Concrete Grinding 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 Concrete Grinding 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 Concrete Grinding 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.

Are Our Concrete Grinding Services Dust-Free?

Will The Job Be 100% Dust-Free?

We Grind Concrete Dust-Free due to how bad the Silica Dust is to inhale from Concrete Grinding. 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. Concrete Grinding 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 Concrete Grinding team uses commercial high-powered dust extractors attached to commercial Dust-Free Concrete Grinders to achieve as close to a Dust-Free Concrete Grinding experience as possible.
