• Uses dustless, high-horsepower vacuum systems with grinding and polishing equipment to support clean, efficient and environmentally friendly processes.

• Epoxy coatings
• Decorative and protective epoxy systems that can replicate the look of metals such as copper, silver, aged bronze and nickel using metallic powders or reflective pigments.
• Often used in retail, office and restaurant settings where a modern, upscale appearance is desired.

• Quartz floors
• Epoxy quartz and urethane flooring systems combining function and aesthetics.
• Use colored quartz or solid color granules broadcast into the coating to create decorative, low-maintenance floors for industrial, commercial and institutional spaces.

• Decorative epoxy floors
• High-performance decorative systems designed to handle constant foot traffic or heavy point loads.
• Available with quartz, chip blends and metallic effects that create lustrous, durable finishes.

• Polyurethane mortars (cementitious urethane)
• Seamless, heavy-duty flooring technology commonly used in:
• Food and beverage processing facilities
• Chemical processing plants
• Pharmaceutical environments
• Can help protect new flooring systems from bubbling or delamination caused by high moisture vapor emissions and can also be used as standalone protection.

• Self-leveling underlayments
• Cement-based, self-leveling materials used to smooth and flatten interior surfaces prior to installing floor coverings.
• Suitable over concrete, wood, tile, terrazzo and substrates with cutback adhesive.

Typical applications

These systems are commonly used for:

• Commercial and retail floors
• Offices and common areas
• Restaurants and hospitality spaces
• Industrial and processing facilities requiring durable, hygienic surfaces

Lavecchia Surface Preparation provides full-service concrete polishing and related treatments for commercial and industrial floors.

Concrete polishing

• Uses heavy, high-torque polishing machines with progressively finer diamond blades to grind and refine the concrete surface.
• Paired with high-horsepower, dustless vacuum systems to deliver a clean, low-dust, environmentally friendly process.
• Produces a strong, decorative floor that is easy to clean and maintain.

Typical uses include:

• Retail and supermarket floors
• Office spaces and lobbies
• Industrial and warehouse environments

Polished overlays and toppings

• Installed over existing substrates that are badly stained, deeply trenched, out of level or have inconsistent aggregate, patches or ghosting from previous finishes.
• Can be integrally colored and replicated across multiple locations, a feature often used by national or "big box" retailers.

Concrete sealers

• Applied to protect exposed concrete floors and extend their service life.
• Help provide "dust proofing" in facilities and warehouses by reducing dust generated from forklift and other traffic.
• Support easier cleaning, reduced maintenance time and lower maintenance costs.

Lavecchia Surface Preparation provides a full range of mechanical surface preparation services for concrete floors.

Core services

• Floor scraping – Removal of existing floor coverings, adhesives and surface materials in preparation for new systems.
• Diamond grinding – Mechanical grinding of concrete using diamond tooling to smooth, profile or expose aggregate as required by the next flooring system.
• Shot blasting – High-efficiency surface preparation that cleans and profiles concrete by blasting steel shot at the surface, often used before applying coatings or overlays.
• Scarifying and scraping – Aggressive mechanical removal of thick or stubborn coatings and uneven concrete to achieve the required surface profile.

Typical uses

Surface preparation services are commonly used:

• Before installing epoxy coatings, self-leveling underlayments or polished concrete systems
• In commercial, industrial and institutional environments where proper adhesion and performance of the new floor system is critical
