Shot Blasting & Concrete Prep in CT
Commercial • Industrial • High-Performance Floor Prep
Shot blasting is the environmentally accepted, dust-free method preferred by architects and flooring consultants to prepare concrete surfaces for high-performance refinishing. This process leaves the concrete surface entirely free of contaminants, providing the ideal profile for the adhesion of new coatings or overlays.
Our professional shot blasting capabilities include:
- Mastic & Adhesive Removal: Efficiently stripping old glues and resilient flooring residues.
- Surface Contaminant Elimination: Removing oils, dirt, and chemicals from the concrete pores.
- CSP Profiling: Creating the specific Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) required for industrial epoxies and urethanes.
Eco-Friendly & Dust-Free: Unlike traditional grinding, shot blasting contains all dust and debris while recycling the steel shot pellets, ensuring a clean and safe environment for active facilities.

Precision Concrete Surface Preparation
A successful flooring installation begins with a properly profiled substrate. Shot blasting ensures long-term coating adhesion.
By removing the "laitance" and opening the concrete pores, shot blasting provides a mechanical bond for epoxies and urethanes.
Integrated vacuum systems capture airborne dust immediately, protecting building occupants and sensitive equipment.
Shot blasting is the most effective method for stripping stubborn adhesives and black mastic common in older facilities.

The Technical Science of Shot Blasting
Shot blasting operates by propelling high-velocity steel shot pellets at a concrete surface. The impact of the shot strips away surface contaminants and weak laitance while simultaneously providing a roughened texture (profile) for superior adhesion.
The Shot Blasting Advantage
Why choose shot blasting over traditional floor grinding or acid etching?
- Steel Shot Recycling: The blast media is separated from dust and reused within the machine.
- Uniform Profile: Provides a consistent CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) across the entire slab.
- No Chemicals: Eliminates the need for harsh acids or hazardous chemicals in the cleaning process.
- One-Pass Operation: Often achieves the desired profile in a single pass, saving time and labor.
