Concrete scarifying is a surface treatment method primarily used when strong intervention in the floor structure is required. The goal of scarifying is to obtain a clean, strong, and grooved substrate that provides excellent adhesion for subsequent layers, such as floor coverings, paint coatings, or various protective coatings.

Applications of scarifying: Concrete scarifying is especially useful in situations where the floor needs to be cleaned, leveled, or modified. The most common cases where this method is used include:

• Damaged, uneven, oily substrates – scarifying allows for the removal of dirt, unevenness, and other defects in the concrete.
• Surface cleaning and profiling – removing unwanted coatings such as paint, glue residues, cement laitance, thermoplastic coatings, etc.
• Removal of concrete or resin flooring layers – scarifying effectively removes old flooring layers, preparing the substrate for new ones.
• Leveling height differences – scarifying can be used to level the surface, eliminating unevenness and height differences in the substrate.
• Profiling smooth surfaces – to achieve the desired surface structure, scarifying can be used to modify smooth surfaces.

Equipment and tools: For concrete scarifying, specialized scarifying machines are used, which differ in parameters depending on the specific needs and condition of the substrate. The selection of the appropriate scarifying tool depends on:

• The condition of the floor (e.g., damaged, uneven, oily)
• The required final structure of the floor or surface
• The depth of intervention in the concrete surface

Concrete scarifying is a method that works well across a wide range of applications, from cleaning and leveling surfaces to removing old flooring layers. By using the appropriate machines and tools, a strong, durable, and well-prepared substrate can be achieved, providing excellent adhesion for new layers.

Concrete Shaving
Concrete shaving is performed to obtain a stable floor surface and create a safe and effective anti-slip layer. This technology eliminates the problem of slippery surfaces, especially on parking ramps, maneuvering areas, or animal storage locations, where ensuring a safe ground is crucial.
The offered solution is also used in production and warehouse halls, where new technological lines are created, as well as in cases where it is necessary to embed communication rails in the concrete floor.
Concrete shaving is characterized by high precision and an aesthetic appearance. The edges of the grooves are delicate, and the surface remains undamaged.

Applications of concrete shaving:

1. Agriculture (barns, pigsties, halls, etc.)
2. Concrete surfaces (driveways, ramps, maneuvering areas, parking lots)
3. Creation of new and renovation of old expansion joints in concrete floors
4. Construction (linear drainage, stairs, sidewalks)
