Surface Concrete Preparation in Vancouver
The shot blasting process is a dust free process. By removing the top layer of covering and concrete the pores of the concrete are exposed. The new coatings can then work themselves into the pores of the concrete and bond with the concrete through chemical reactions. This is vital for creating a strong bond for the new surface coating provided by the Libra Envelope floor system.
