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?
Concrete Grinding is an extremely effective way to remove any imperfections from concrete, allowing for a smooth finish. It can boost the appearance of concrete floors, as well as lead to improved safety on roads and driveways. There are also a large range of other advantages, including:
– Safety
Concrete Grinding can improve safety by making concrete surfaces smoother and harder, which reduces the risk of injury and accidents.
– Appearance
Concrete Grinding can improve the appearance of concrete floors, especially in homes.
– Durability
Concrete Grinding can increase the durability of concrete by removing imperfections and irregularities.
– Cost-effective
Grinding an existing concrete slab is more cost-effective than removing and installing a new one.
– Texture
Grinding can lead to a better texture, which is important for concrete roads and driveways.
– Traction
Diamond grinding can improve traction, which is especially important in moisture-prone areas, such as kitchens and entryways.
– 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 Coatings, Paint, Epoxies, Dirt, Glue Residue, Waterproofing Membranes, Adhesives & Sealers, etc.
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 Concrete Grinding?
A Concrete Grinder can come in many configurations, the most common being a Hand-Held Angle Grinder, this is a specialised tool for countertops or worktops. There are also purpose-built Floor Concrete Grinders and Hand Held Concrete Grinders that are used for Concrete Grinding and Concrete Polishing of marble, granite, and concrete floors.
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.
Our specialist Dust-Free Concrete Grinding team uses this process to remove all types of glues (Such as commercial carpet glues that are incredibly strong and hard to remove), paints, sealers, waterproof membranes, and other coatings from the concrete slab, as well as a various few other services.
Concrete Grinding can be done either wet or dry. At Dust-Free Concrete Grinding Sydney, we prefer to grind under dry conditions and use commercial dust extraction equipment to reduce the negative impacts of silica dust on our health while also protecting our clients and their homes.
Grinding Concrete under wet conditions can also stack up massive amounts of disposal charges for “slurry disposal”, increase the time of the job, and force you to delay your future work on the job site as you will need to allow time for your concrete slab to dry as it will have absorbed water.
Grinding Concrete is an effective way to keep a concrete surface durable and long-lasting. Grinding Concrete helps create a level floor which can then be honed and sealed, polished, or coated. Concrete finishing, such as polishing and sealing the floor, has been proven to increase surface longevity dramatically.
It is typical to use a stone or synthetic resin compound in modern properties due to its weatherproofing qualities and resistance to cracking over time. Honing a floor before a final colour coating is applied will help keep the colour even throughout the service life of the floor while also making it more resistant to stains from oil and other liquids. In some cases, it may be better not to add a topcoat ever because honed surfaces are naturally more stain-resistant than polished ones.
Why Concrete Grinding Should Never Be Skipped
Grinding Concrete is used to level out bumps and ridges to create a smooth surface where dust, dirt, oil, or other contaminants have less of a chance of remaining trapped deep within the concrete. The exterior concrete flooring can be ground down to become even with the concrete floor below it. It makes it easier to sanitize and keep safe for commercial or industrial use. It also provides a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for interior commercial spaces.
Concrete Grinding has several advantages over most other methods of removing materials from surfaces, such as stone polishing, cutting and sawing, milling, and water blasting. Grinding Concrete is considered one of the least invasive methods because no heavy-duty chemicals are involved, nor is there any harmful blasting media such as sand or glass. Instead, the only thing used during Concrete Grinding is fine dust created from the Concrete Grinding process itself. This dust is then collected and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
Concrete Grinding can be used for many applications, including removing dirt, paint, oil, overlaying material, and even concrete itself. The process is often used on large-scale projects, or other methods are not suitable or cost-effective. For instance, the method may strip away existing concrete before constructing a new foundation.
It may also be used to smooth out surfaces that have been damaged by less precise work processes such as acid washes or sawing and milling operations. Doing so makes it possible for individuals with no heavy-duty construction experience to produce their own resurfaced floors without spending too much time or money doing so.
Benefits of Grinding Concrete
Grinding Concrete has various benefits, from increasing a surface’s longevity to clearing the surface of any imperfections. This process not only removes surface imperfections and stains but also helps to create a better surface for the application of concrete sealers and coatings. Concrete Grinding can also be used to expose the decorative aggregate, create a non-slip surface, or remove old coatings and adhesives.
There are many benefits to Grinding Concrete. This process can level out uneven surfaces and smooth out surfaces that have been scarred or damaged. It makes the concrete surface even and suitable for Concrete Polishing with a diamond pad to create a polished concrete floor.
Grinding Concrete also reduces trip hazards as it creates a uniform flooring surface free from jagged edges and adjoining joints that could cause people to trip or slip if not ground down first. The reduced risk of injury brings cost savings: companies with higher worker safety ratings tend to pay less in insurance premiums than those who don’t meet specific safety standards, bringing money back into valuable business budgets.
Another benefit is the cost-effectiveness of Grinding Concrete compared to other resurfacing methods such as acid staining, overpayment, or terrazzo. Overlayment, in particular, is comparable in cost to Concrete Grinding. Still, it can be much more labour-intensive when done by hand and cuts into profits when the time spent on the project cuts into production hours. Acid staining also carries a high initial investment cost, yet few colours are available for purchase.
A secondary benefit of Grinding Concrete is that it usually produces a smoother surface than other methods, making it easier to clean than rough surfaces with jagged edges. Concrete flooring is easy to sweep, vacuum, scrub, and mop, so maintaining the cleanliness of the surface requires using essential tools of housekeeping more frequently instead of investing in costly machinery that substitutes for manpower over an extended period.
Here are some of the benefits a client can expect when they consult Concrete Grinding Sydney for their concrete needs:
– Repairs uneven concrete surfaces
– Eliminates tripping hazards or falls
– Removes old floor coverings or coatings
– Prepares the concrete surface for new floor coverings/coatings
– Prepares the concrete surface for polishing
– Fixes poor concrete installation
– Removes uneven or rough areas on floors
– Levels uneven sidewalks or curbs
– Grinding eliminates defects, making your surface look perfect
– Surfaces look good as new all the time
– Enhances surface aesthetics
– Boost your property value
– Expose Aggregate
– And more!!!
Concrete Grinding gets the concrete surface ready for Polishing as it smooths and levels the entire area. Even if a client isn’t polishing their concrete, Concrete Grinding is still an important step as concrete needs to be ground level to apply sealers or other flooring systems and coatings. Grinding Concrete is the essential first step to maximize a floor’s lifespan. The Grinding gets the concrete surface ready as it smooths and levels the entire area.
The process can take old concrete and transform it into a completely new surface. At Concrete Grinding Sydney we want to help businesses receive these fantastic benefits. We are committed to offering quality Concrete Grinding services for all our clients.
