How does Getting Certified Help you Develop Everlasting Industry Success?

People spend billions of dollars worldwide due to corrosion from surface application failures. Improper application of floor coatings and surface treatments will likely degrade faster, thereby corroding assets that now require repair or replacement.

However, you can prevent this remarkable yet unnecessary cost by learning and properly performing the process of surface preparation. To ensure that floor coatings and surface treatments will last, surface preparation is the answer.

Surface Preparation; A Beginners Guide

The process of maintenance and preparation of any surface for new coatings applications or restoration treatments is called surface preparation, or simply, surface prep for short. This process does not have the same requirements for every type of surface application.

The different product features and performance characteristics of many coating types may require personalized requirements for surface preparation. It is critical to read the product specifications and all other technical datasheets.

The surface preparation process will rid any surface of any of the following:

  • Pre-existing coatings
  • Surface bumps and imperfections
  • Residue and contaminants
  • Organic matter
  • Surface cracks
  • Oxidants

Certifications for Surface Preparation

Before performing surface preparation, it is crucial to establish one’s qualifications by getting a valid certification. Surface preparation entails working with different chemicals and materials while handling different equipment and power tools, all of which are provided and taught by our trained and certified professionals who’ve obtained advanced technical skills. Therefore, it is always recommended to secure a certification before one should perform the methods of surface preparation.

Polished concrete floors and epoxy floors are becoming increasingly popular as more people ditch normal concrete floors for decorative ones. This trend is expected to continue as concrete floors come with many benefits. For one, they are very durable. These floors are also aesthetically appealing and are a welcome break from the traditional plain concrete floors. It also helps that both epoxy and polished concrete floors are among the cheapest flooring services available for both commercial and residential properties.

While these two flooring options are great, the installation has to be done right for the users to enjoy the full benefits. That is where we come in. We provide both epoxy floor and polished floor training. We are keen to equip all our students with the skills that will turn them into experts in this field.
