At Edge Industrial Flooring, we take great pride in delivering flawless flooring solutions through a meticulous and professional process. Our goal is to ensure that every project results in a smooth, durable, and beautiful floor that enhances the aesthetics and functionality of your space. Here’s an in-depth look at the detailed steps we follow to achieve the highest standards in flooring installation:
Preparation and Site Clearing
Before we begin any installation or refinishing process, we start by carefully clearing the area of any obstructions, debris, or furniture. We understand that a clean, clear space is essential for a flawless finish, which is why we take the time to prepare the site properly. This ensures that there are no distractions or obstacles that could affect the quality of our work.
Our team will also check for any potential issues in the space that might need addressing before moving forward. With everything cleared and prepared, we can ensure that the area is safe and ready for the next step.
Surface Grinding for Optimal Bonding
Once the area is ready, the next crucial step is grinding the floor. This process is essential for improving the adhesion between the existing floor and the new flooring materials. By grinding the surface, we remove any imperfections, old finishes, or coatings that could hinder the bonding process. This not only ensures a stronger, more durable connection but also helps to create a smooth, even foundation for the new floor.
Our advanced grinding techniques are designed to leave the surface clean and ready for the next phase, guaranteeing long-lasting results and superior performance.
Filling Holes and Cracks
To achieve the highest level of finish, we carefully inspect the entire surface for any cracks, holes, or imperfections that could affect the final result. Any gaps or blemishes are expertly filled with high-quality materials that are designed to blend seamlessly with the floor. This step is crucial for ensuring a flawless, smooth finish, as even the smallest imperfection can disrupt the appearance of your new floor.
By addressing these issues early, we prevent any unsightly imperfections from appearing in the final layer and ensure that the finished product meets your expectations for perfection.
Final Vacuuming for a Clean Surface
After filling in any gaps and cracks, we perform one final thorough vacuuming of the entire area. This ensures that the floor is free from any dust, debris, or particles that could interfere with the application of the coating. Cleanliness is key to achieving a high-quality finish, and we take extra care to ensure the surface is completely free of contaminants before moving on to the next step.
Base Coating Application
With the floor prepped and cleaned, we now apply the first layer of the base coating. This base coat is designed to provide a strong foundation for the final finish, ensuring durability and a smooth, even appearance. The base coating also helps to enhance the bond between the floor and the top sealer coat, which will be applied later.
We give the base coating time to set and cure properly, allowing it to provide the perfect surface for the next layer. This step typically requires 8-10 hours of drying time, ensuring that the base layer is fully set before proceeding.
Top Sealer Coating Application
After the base coat has dried and hardened, we apply the final top sealer coat. This is the final layer that seals and protects the flooring, giving it its durable, glossy, or matte finish, depending on your preference. The top sealer also enhances the appearance, providing an even, polished surface that will not only look stunning but will also stand up to everyday wear and tear.
The top coat is carefully applied for a smooth, even finish, ensuring that every part of your floor is protected and looks perfect.
