Concrete flooring used to be found only in large buildings, industrial sites, and heavy-duty public places. Thanks to recent industrial tech advancements in construction and decorating, this flooring option is now open to any type of home. Easy-to-use concrete floor grinderequipment and options are now open to expert DIYers to create stylish flooring options. But whether you’re an experienced construction professional or DIYer, you need to make the proper preparations before grinding any concrete floor.
Picking the right diamond grinder
Take diamond grinder selection very seriously. This means properly understanding segment and bond styles, and being able to test concrete hardness. Also, take into account if you need to remove anything on the surface of the concrete such as glue. If you plan to polish the floor after removing glue, make sure the diamonds don’t scratch the floor beyond repair. To be sure, speak with an experienced diamond supplier (such as Concrete Grinding Supplies by AusKut) in detail about the conditions of the job.
Don’t rush the job
Being impatient can be damaging when grinding concrete, especially when removing tough glue. Take your time with glue and when finally polishing the floor. You can’t finish everything in a single pass.
Plan properly when positioning your cords and vacuum
Before starting on the floor grinding, map out the path patterns that you need to do because your vacuum hoses and power cords may get into your path. Map everything out properly unless you find your cords and hoses tangled up.
Edging needs even more patience
Using a standard concrete floor grinder is difficult for edges. Your options are using a hand grinder and getting down on your knees or using a smaller walk-behind floor grinder with edging capabilities. Edging is tedious work, but if done properly – and patiently – the results are something to boast about. Removing glue in edging is also difficult so you need loads of patience.
