When you’re looking for professional floor removal and surface preparation services in Miami-Dade, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, give the experts at National Floor Solutions a call. Every floor needs to be prepped properly before the installation of new flooring. Any existing flooring or coating will require removal. We are equipped with a Blast Pro 4500-pound floor scraper for large areas and an NFE 2000-pound floor scraper for small areas, condo elevator access, and tight areas. Once we remove the flooring with our scrapers, we follow with our high-production 1500-pound grinders. Depending on the desired application, a surface profile (scratch pattern) may be required to achieve bonding to the surface. This is where our South Florida floor removal services play a vital role in ensuring the quality and longevity of any surface application. We use the latest tools to ensure the job is done right the first time. Our arsenal includes a 2000-pound tile scraper capable of performing work in spaces of all sizes, including residential homes, condos, apartments, commercial spaces, office buildings, and more! We also have a 4500-pound tile scraper that can remove 8000 square feet of tile every day.
Coating Removal
Every floor has different properties that determine the approach to removing a coating. There are a few approaches that can achieve proper coating removal. High-pressure water jetting, chemical stripping, abrasives, and machine grinding with special tools are potential options for the removal of coatings.
Again, which method is used depends on the substrate below the coating, its properties, and the level of preparation required. Generally, delicate surfaces require a gentler approach, and more resilient surfaces require a more aggressive approach.
Surface Preparation
Once we remove any existing coatings, preparation of the surface can take place. Surface preparation is dependent upon the application that will follow. Coatings may require rough grinding that leaves a specific surface profile (scratch pattern) to ensure proper bonding with the concrete floor. Other applications may require a less aggressive scratch pattern. In addition to floor surface prep, National Floor Solutions also offers professional trip hazard removal services. An uneven floor can potentially cause legal issues if a client, employee, or any other visitor is injured because of the floor. We’ll even out your walkways to ensure a smooth, flat surface that complies with all applicable regulations. Give us a call to discuss your needs and decide on the proper solution!
