Floor Preparation

New Floors: grind the floor and finish with 100-120 grit diamonds which would make the concrete nice and smooth. Then vacuum the area so it is dust free, then to ensure that the concrete is dust free either a wet tacky mop or a wet towel to pick up the dust that the vacuum did not pick up. Let the floor dry then apply a couple of coats to Tuff Coat for Concrete. (Depending on the porosity of the concrete floor you will ascertain the amount of coats that you need).

Recoating an existing Floor: Depending on the concrete and what has been previously on it you will either need to grind the floor or sand it.
