Professional Floor Surface Preparation — The Foundation of Every Long-Lasting Floor
No resin floor will perform without the right substrate preparation. We own our own diamond grinders and shot blasters, we never subcontract, and we never cut corners — because the quality of your floor depends on it.
Is Your Floor Suffering From...
Poor surface preparation is the most common reason resin floors fail. If any of these apply, the substrate is likely the root cause.
Why Surface Preparation Is the Single Most Important Step
The lifespan of any resin flooring system is almost entirely determined by the quality of surface preparation. A coating applied over a poorly prepared substrate will delaminate, bubble or fail — regardless of how expensive or high-quality the resin system is. This is the industry's most commonly skipped shortcut, and the most common cause of floor failure.
At Epoxy Resin Solutions NI, we own and operate professional surface preparation equipment — including diamond grinders, shot blasters and scarifiers — and we never cut corners. Every substrate is prepared to the correct CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) for the specified system before a drop of resin is applied.
Get a Free QuoteOur Surface Preparation Methods
Diamond Grinding — opens up the concrete surface to CSP 2–4, removing laitance, coatings and contamination
Shot Blasting — creates CSP 4–8 profile for heavy-build systems and heavily contaminated floors
Scarifying — removes thick coatings, adhesive residues and severely damaged surface layers
Moisture Testing — hygrometer testing to confirm moisture levels before any application
Crack & Joint Assessment — identifying and treating any structural defects before coating
Industrial Vacuum Recovery — dust-controlled working to protect your facility and our team
Every Resin Flooring Project Starts Here
Surface preparation is a mandatory step before applying any resin flooring system. The method depends on substrate condition, the system specified and the CSP required. We assess every floor individually and never apply a one-size-fits-all approach.
Why Choose Us for Surface Preparation
Many flooring contractors subcontract surface preparation. We don't. Our own team, our own machines, our own accountability — no quality compromises, no finger-pointing if something goes wrong.
Professional Equipment Ownership
We own and maintain our own diamond grinders, shot blasters and vacuums — no waiting on subcontractors or compromising on the right tool for the job.
CSP-Matched to Your System
We prepare to the exact surface profile required by the resin system being installed — not just what's convenient or quickest.
Dust-Controlled Working
All grinding and blasting operations are carried out with industrial vacuum recovery, protecting your facility and maintaining a safe working environment.
Honest Assessment of Substrate Condition
If we find your substrate has issues — contamination, moisture, structural defects — we'll tell you upfront and specify the correct solution before any money is spent.
