Shot Blasting

Did you know that 90% of surface coating failures can be traced back to incorrect surface preparation. The best surface preparation method that cleans and creates the right profile is shot blasting.

Shot blasting is a dust free, quiet, no mess, no chemicals operation that opens the microscopic pores in concrete, unlike acid etching that clogs the pores and leaves a chemical residue.

Shot Blast Non-Slip Surface

Litigation is common place in shopping centres, factories and council precincts, hence it is important to eliminate dangerous wet and smooth surfaces where serious accidents can occur.

A1 Floor Strippers uses Shot Blasting to create a non slip surface, giving more grip under foot in wet or slippery conditions. For more grip sensitive areas a deeper profile or grooving can also be produced.

Common Non-slip Surfaces include:

  • Loading docks
  • Carparks
  • Factories
  • Footpaths
  • Boat ramps

A1 Floor Strippers can provide advice on any shot blasting requirements.
