What is concrete blasting?
An essential process used throughout a range of industries, concrete blasting allows you to shape and treat concrete surfaces, builds, and items with ease. But with so many options available to choose from and a near infinite number of use-cases on the market, it can be difficult to find one that is right for you. So, what exactly is concrete blasting and how can it help add value throughout your work?
What is concrete blasting?
Concrete blasting involves the use of abrasive material to blast or ‘abrade’ the surface of your project. While this is most commonly carried out on floor surfaces, this can also be applied to a range of unique products, builds, and designs – allowing full say over the finish or layout without compromise.
Choosing the right concrete blaster can allow you to tackle issues in a range of projects or take ownership over the handling of key process tasks – enabling you to save time and resource when it truly matters most.
What equipment is used in concrete blasting?
Concrete blasting requires two key elements, concrete floor shot blasting equipment and the size and specification of abrasive shot and grit that is right for your job. When it comes to equipment, this can be purchased or rented in a variety of forms – from handheld units, dedicated push models, to large-scale cabinets or rooms that allow for a high degree of uniformity when treating your product.
This is used in a range of professional and private sectors, allowing a high degree of customisation and control when it comes to the deployment of the product – guaranteeing client or customer satisfaction every time.
What are the benefits of concrete blasting?
Carrying out concrete blasting allows you to enjoy a number of cosmetic and professional advantages. Choosing to blast concrete objects enables you to guarantee a uniform surface, eliminating unwanted bumps, lumps, and irregularities. This is especially useful when finishing off a project, allowing you to provide a smooth, level floor, or a perfectly weathered façade.
If you are working with concrete, this allows you to pre-treat any surface for additional coatings or specific uses. This offers you complete control and allows you to cut, customise, and control the end product – guaranteeing the highest standards of consistency in the most exacting of professional environments.
