New flooring and coatings only perform as well as the concrete below them. Titan provides concrete grinding across Toronto, Mississauga and the GTA to remove surface irregularities, prepare floors and create a more consistent substrate for the next stage of work.
Concrete grinding uses diamond tooling to remove a controlled amount from the top of a concrete surface. It can reduce high areas, smooth rough patches and remove some existing coatings, adhesives or surface contamination.
Grinding is often one step in a larger flooring system. The required surface profile depends on whether the floor will receive epoxy, urethane, tile, another coating or a different finished surface. The next-floor requirements should be confirmed before work begins.
Titan grinds residential, commercial and industrial concrete. The method and tooling are selected around the existing surface, the material being removed and what will be installed next.
Reduce raised areas and improve transitions across uneven concrete surfaces.
Create a suitable concrete profile before epoxy, urethane or other coatings.
Mechanically remove many old adhesives, paints and surface-applied materials.
Smooth rough concrete repairs, surface imperfections and inconsistent transitions.
Reduce appropriate raised edges where a smoother transition is required.
Prepare warehouse, garage, basement, retail and industrial concrete floors.
The correct result is not always a polished floor. Titan reviews the next flooring or coating system, concrete condition, access, dust requirements and practical tolerances before work begins.
The target profile is planned around the coating, adhesive or flooring system that follows.
Diamond tooling is selected for the concrete, existing material and required removal.
Dust collection, containment, access and cleanup are reviewed around site conditions.
We discuss target areas, visible defects and practical limits before grinding starts.
The best grinding plan starts with the finish that will follow and a clear look at the existing concrete.
Tell us why the floor is being ground and what coating, adhesive or flooring system will follow.
We look at high spots, rough areas, coatings, glue, cracks, repairs and access. A test area may help when the material is unknown.
Equipment access, power, dust management, occupied areas and cleanup requirements are reviewed before scheduling.
Titan uses selected diamond tooling to remove the required surface material in a controlled manner.
The completed area is reviewed against the agreed scope before the next trade or flooring stage begins.
Concrete grinding is used in warehouses and industrial units, retail and commercial interiors, condominiums, parking areas, basements and garages across the GTA.
Access and building rules can matter as much as square footage. Mention freight-elevator dimensions, loading access, working-hour restrictions and whether the site will remain occupied when requesting an estimate.
Titan provides concrete grinding in Toronto, Mississauga, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Oakville and surrounding GTA communities. Send us the site address and floor details to confirm availability.
A useful estimate starts with the existing floor condition and the result required by the next trade. Photos and product information help us narrow down the right approach.
Grinding removes material and prepares or corrects the surface. Polishing is a multi-step finishing process intended to produce a refined, often glossy concrete floor. Some projects involve both, but they are not the same service.
Many paints, adhesives and surface coatings can be mechanically removed, but results depend on the product, thickness and how strongly it is bonded. Photos or a small test area can help establish the right approach.
Grinding can reduce high spots and improve transitions. It does not fill low areas or correct underlying slab movement, so levelling compounds or repairs may also be needed.
Grinding creates fine dust, which is why collection and containment need to be part of the plan. Tell Titan about occupied or sensitive areas when requesting the work.
Send the site address, approximate square footage, photos, the existing coating or floor covering, the reason for grinding, the flooring system that will follow, access details and your project schedule.
If high spots, old coatings or a rough surface are holding up the next stage of your project, send Titan photos and floor details for a concrete grinding estimate.
Controlled removal of damaged or unwanted concrete sections.
Straight cuts through concrete floors, slabs and asphalt surfaces.
Clean circular openings for plumbing, electrical and HVAC installations.
