The Importance of Surface Preparation

Surface preparation is one of the most important phases of installing a top-quality flooring system.

At first, surface prep may not seem such an important part of the remodeling and installing a new flooring system. No one will see the old concrete slab or how the old flooring or coating was removed, so how much does it really matter?

Although it may just seem like an annoying chore, flooring manufacturers will tell you that the success of a new flooring system is critically dependent on how the old flooring was removed and the new surface prepared. Put simply, if the surface prep is not done correctly, the new flooring system will not be as durable as it should be and its other properties (such as chemical resistance or moisture mitigation) may also be compromised. It’s a waste of both time and money to have a new flooring system fail, so it’s essential that surface preparation is done right.

KRSI uses the latest and most advanced equipment to remove existing coatings like tile, carpet, glue, environmentally sensitive coatings, and other materials. In addition, the new or un-coated surface can be profiled for applying a coating finish.

In all cases, KRSI will deliver a perfectly prepared surface for your application!
