You can ask anyone who has ever stripped a sealer or coating from a concrete surface and I would be willing to bet they will all tell you it was awful! The process of removing old, worn or failing sealers, stains or coatings from concrete, it can be one of the most miserable jobs a flooring professional will have to do. In some cases it is the only way to prepare, restore or repair a concrete floor.
Well with that said…We had this tough job to do today and it was not awful at all! Our system for removing sealers, stains or coatings from concrete is painless and fast.
It was a pool room that is being remodeled. The home owners are having tile put in and in order for the prep and thinset to hold, the sealer and the stain needed to be removed. The concrete slab was very bumpy surface with a lot of high and low spots. This can make tiling very difficult. We were able to knock down most of the high spots and flatten the concrete, which makes a much more aesthetic tile floor.
