Concrete Prep Glue Grinding

Prep Glue Grinding
Grinding Glue Off Concrete Floors & Surfaces

Resurfacing a floor can bring it back to life and elevate the appeal of a room or particular space, but it needs to be done correctly in order to avoid faults and complications in the future. Removing old tiles, carpet or vinyl from a concrete base typically leaves old glue behind. Any existing adhesive substance needs to be cleaned up and removed before either replacing any tiles or carpet or polishing the existing concrete surface. This typically involves a process called glue grinding. If you want the services of a professional experienced in grinding glue off a concrete floor, call Melbourne’s premier flooring specialist at Granicrete.
