The most important step in any flooring project is proper concrete surface preparation. Black Bear Coatings & Concrete utilizes a variety of surface preparation techniques, one of which is shot blasting.

Shot blasting strips a thin layer of concrete to reveal a mechanical profile that will improve bonding for new floor surfaces. This technique blasts the concrete surface with steel shot (i.e., small steel balls) at a high velocity. Shot blasting removes contamination, as well as laitance (soft concrete), which could prevent coatings or other new surfaces from adhering properly.
