Preparation

At Rite-Way, we take great pride in being considered floor preparation experts, as well as floor coating experts.  Utilizing state of the art equipment, we make sure that every concrete floor has the appropriate profile required for adhesion. 

Blastrac shotblast machines are often used to establish an acceptable "tooth" on the floor surface.  These machines are available in a variety of sizes and propel steel shot at the concrete surface.  The result is a texture that feels like "sandpaper".  The machines are virtually dust-free, with large vacuum units recycling the steel shot, and filtering all dust.  When the machine makes a pass and returns, the overlap, which gets double-blasted is called a tracking line.

Additionally, Rite-Way floor technicians utilize Atlas Copco Kango hammers, Sawtec Saws, Diamond Grinders, and SASE Scarifiers.  Our floor technicians are trained to safely utilize each piece of preparation equipment.
