FLOOR GRINDING: THE NEWEST WAY TO REINVIGORATE YOUR FLOORS
Floor grinding is a process in which the floor of a building is ground down to remove imperfections, add new layers, and change the surface’s color. Grinding can also create new textures or patterns in the flooring.
The process of grinding a floor involves removing the old layer of flooring, removing all traces of it from the sub-floor, filling any cracks or holes that may have formed over time with a special epoxy compound, and then laying down a new layer of concrete for your new flooring.
Floor grinding can be done with an angle grinder or a disc sander. The first step is cleaning the floor so you know where the old floor ends and begins. Then, you mark out your area and begin grinding away until you have removed all old flooring material. You can use different blades for different purposes: diamond blades are used on tile and porcelain floors, carbide blades are used on concrete floors; and metal-cutting blades are used on hardwood floors.
What are the benefits of floor grinding ?
Floor grinding is a great way to give your floors a fresh look. It can also help to extend the life of your flooring. Here are some key benefits:
- Restore Concrete Surfaces The first step in floor grinding is to remove any loose debris from the surface of the concrete. Then, a diamond pad will be used to grind down any rough spots on the concrete so it can be leveled out again. This can help reduce trips and falls and prevent water damage from occurring when people walk across the flooring. After grinding down any rough spots in the concrete, a bonding agent will be added to the surface before it’s sealed with a protective coating like wax or paint. This protects against further damage while ensuring that no cracks appear again.
- Removes Paint, Epoxies, and dirt The process begins by applying a sealer over the entire floor. This is an adhesive for the remaining paint layers, keeping them from falling off during grinding. Next, the abrasive wheel is mounted onto an external grinder and run over the floor surface in one direction only—this allows for even coverage and easier cleanup later in case any paint flakes fall off during grinding. The abrasive pad is attached to a rotating disk that can be moved in any direction. This allows the grinder to grind away everything from paint to epoxies and metals. The machine attaches an abrasive pad to the disk, which is then rotated at high speed. The user can move the disk in any direction, allowing them to grind away anything from paint to epoxies and even metals.
- Improving Surface Reflectivity The floor grinding process can be completed using various materials, such as sandpaper or water-cooled wheels. This helps in improving the surface reflectivity of the floor. This process is also known as scuffing and burnishing. It involves polishing the floor with a floor polisher machine and scrubbing it with a strong solution containing soap and water. This helps ensure that all dirt particles from within the floor are removed properly before applying wax to it later.
- Cost-Effective Solution Floor grinding is a cost-effective option because it reduces the need for expensive re-surfacing or replacement. If your floor has become damaged and needs to be replaced, it can cost anywhere between $3 to $25 per square foot. This means that if you have a large area of flooring that needs to be replaced, you can expect to pay upwards of $900 for the job.
