Concrete Surface Preparation
Slab Preparation for Floor Covering Trades
Diamond grinding, shot blasting, and surface profiling of new concrete slabs in preparation for tile, hardwood, vinyl, or resin flooring installation. We grind to specified flatness tolerances, remove surface laitance and contamination, patch imperfections, and ensure the surface profile meets the adhesion requirements of the specified floor finish system. Proper slab preparation is the step most responsible for floor covering failures — and the step most often skipped on tight timelines.
Coordination: Works directly from your floor covering spec and finish schedule
New Construction Scope
Floor Leveling
New concrete slabs in high-rise construction are rarely perfectly flat. Before large-format tile, stone, or precision flooring installations, the slab often needs leveling. We assess the slab and specify the right approach based on what the job requires — self-leveling underlayment for larger areas requiring consistent lift, grinding for high spots, patching compounds for low spots, or a combination. We handle the scope that tile companies and flooring trades either can't execute at scale or charge a premium for.
Suitable for: Condo unit floors, amenity rooms, commercial suites, lobby and corridor leveling
Concrete Column & Wall Protection
DualGuard™ + WashAway Xtreme™
New concrete columns and walls in high-rise construction often have form marks, tie-hole impressions, and surface irregularities from the pour. We mechanically prepare the surface, patch defects, and apply DualGuard penetrating waterproof membrane — creating permanent internal protection on exposed concrete elements. Horizontal and vertical application. Fast to apply, low disruption to the construction schedule, and provides permanent protection against moisture, efflorescence, and carbonation on all exposed bare concrete.
Applications: Columns, walls, parkade structure, exposed architectural concrete
Amenity Rooms & Common Areas
Lobby, Gym & Amenity Flooring
Lobby polished concrete, gym epoxy flake with double polyaspartic topcoat, amenity room solid colour or decorative systems — we install the full range of flooring finishes for high-rise common areas and amenity spaces. These are high-traffic, high-visibility areas that require commercial-grade systems, not residential specification. We work from your interior designer's finish schedule or recommend appropriate systems for each space. Strata-quality finishes that hold up under real building use.
Spaces: Lobby, gym, yoga studio, party room, outdoor amenity deck
