Floor Coatings Etc

Anyone that is serious about being a resinous flooring installer has at least two (2) different pieces of specialized equipment in their arsenal. They'll have some form of a vacuumized high voltage, high volume diamond grinder and a vacuumized piece of "Shot Blast" equipment. Upward of 90% of the people in our business have one (1) or two (2) of each of these pieces at the cost of about $50,000 per unit. WE HAVE eight (8) OF EACH. That's over a half of a million dollars worth. We need eight (8) of each because we do five (5) floors/projects each week.

We've been installing quality resinous floors and industrial floor coatings for 40 years. In fact, we've completed more than 3,000 contracts. Presently, we are operating at a rate of about six (6) jobs per week (300 annually). Of the 300 jobs per year that we do, about 200 of them are Automotive, Fire/EMC and Aviation related. The other 100 are industrial and commercial manufacturing, retail, warehousing, etc. To say that we are one of the largest in the country would be an understatement. We think that there are about 1,000 resinous flooring contractors in the U.S. WE further think that only about 10% of them do 150 jobs per year.

This 480-volt 3-phase vacuumized dustless Shot Blast unit can effectively remove some mastics and thin-film coatings, but is primarily used with various size steel shot (BB's) to clean and profile the surface of the concrete to create a sandpaper finish to which ANY coating will bond tenaciously. We have eight (8) of these units in our arsenal. We always have two complete shot blast units on every job. If one breaks down, we have a back-up.
