METHODS OF SURFACE PREPARATION:

"The key to the success of any floor system starts with proper preparation, without it, the system is destined to fail". -Nicholas Esposito, Owner         Your floor or wall system can fail for a number of reasons:

   • Hydrostatic Pressure
   • Thermal Shock
   • Un-qualified Applicators
   • The incorrect system in the wrong environment
   • Most frequently, Improper Surface Preparation

Esposito L.L.C. uses the most advanced technologies and many years of experience to ensure that your floor has a sound and proper surface preparation so that they are operational for years to come. Some of the technologies we use are as follows:

SHOT BLASTING::
Shot blasting is a cost effective and environmentally friendly method for preparing concrete surfaces. This labor and timesaving process strips, cleans and profiles simultaneously.
•	Leaves the surface immediately ready for the application of coatings or overlays.
•	Eliminates drying time and costly disposal procedures associated with other surface preparation methods.
•	Produces the highest bonding character of any surface preparation method.

CONCRETE SCARIFICATION AND GRINDING::
The scarifying method is best used to remove concrete, fast and aggressively. It is an ideal preparation for older concrete that has heavy soil, coatings, and over-layments.
•	Repairs common slab problems: curled joints, high spots, uneven slabs, burned areas from over-troweling, trowel marks and damage due to weather
•	Removes oil and contaminants, mill scale and rust
•	Remove epoxy coatings, thermoplastic coatings, paint and traffic lines
•	Remove glues and adhesives
•	Levels uneven surfaces and trip hazards
