In any flooring project—whether it is an industrial warehouse, commercial facility, or high-traffic public space—the performance of the finish relies heavily on what lies beneath. Surface preparation is not just a preliminary step; it’s the foundation that determines how well coatings, sealants, or adhesives bond to the surface. At Sonicon, we understand that for floor coatings to last, adhesion must be optimized—and that starts with precision surface preparation using SGi Tech’s shot blasting and diamond grinding solutions.
Coatings that fail to properly bond can result in peeling, cracking, or uneven finishes that require rework, drive up maintenance costs, and shorten the lifespan of the floor. Whether applying epoxy, protective sealants, or tile adhesives, the key is ensuring the substrate is clean, level, and textured to the right degree.
This is where the right surface preparation method makes all the difference.
Our shot blasting process is designed to clean and texture the concrete simultaneously. It removes contaminants, laitance, and weak surface layers—leaving behind a profiled surface that allows coatings to bond more effectively. It’s especially effective for large industrial spaces where adhesion strength is critical.
Diamond grinding complements this by providing a smooth and even surface while eliminating high spots, old adhesive, or surface imperfections. By creating the ideal surface profile, diamond grinding helps ensure an even coating application that stands up to wear and tear over time.
Together, these methods create the ideal conditions for a successful and long-lasting coating system.
We know how valuable time is on-site. That’s why we’ve invested in tools and processes that not only deliver precision but also help projects move faster. Our teams are trained to complete work efficiently, with minimal disruption to surrounding operations. In fact, we’ve maintained a track record of completing surface preparation projects ahead of schedule—without ever compromising on quality.
It’s not about rushing—it’s about knowing exactly what needs to be done and doing it right the first time.
