When it comes to grinder tooling for concrete floors, Substrate Technology has you covered. Achieve professional results on concrete and other surfaces with our range of machinery. You can create a smooth finish using the right tools for grinding and polishing.
When smoothing concrete surfaces, you will need the right tools to polish and grind them. A different tool will be required for different materials. You may need a tool to remove a sticky coating or to polish a surface. We have a range to suit different jobs.
7-inch ring polishing pads are best suited for heavy grinding. They cut through thick coatings with their resin and metal composition.
CASH 7-inch dots and pads have a low cutting speed that is ideal for restoring surfaces. It will add a smooth sheen to concrete, marble, or terrazzo floors.
Choosing the right tool for concrete depends on the end result you are looking for. Each job is different—is there coating to be removed? How hard or soft is the surface? You need to choose the tools that are most compatible with what you are trying to achieve.
Diamond Systems use a combination of resin and metal. They are used for polishing concrete or terrazzo slabs to a high standard. They can all be used with floor grinders for any project of this kind.
There are several different Diamond System products you can choose from. They all have velcro-backed pads so are easy to change.
Marble is a more sensitive material than concrete. This means that you need the right items to work with this kind of surface. Using the wrong kind of accessories can mean a marble surface is ruined. Always check the manufacturer guidelines on these products to ensure they are compatible with the job.
The MG2 Diamond System works best for multi-step mechanical polishing. It can be used for heavy grinding or finer work. It works well on a variety of surfaces.
If you only need to do light polishing on a surface then CASH pads are best. They can be used with swing machines and auto-scrubbers to provide a great finish.
Planetary tooling works with planetary grinders. The discs have a similar orbital motion to planets. This is where the name comes from. Several smaller discs move around the central disc (like the sun). The main disc will not have contact with the floor. The smaller discs will grind and polish.
We have a large collection of surface preparation tooling for any construction job. You will find more detail about the range of machinery elsewhere, but we have specialist tools for concrete, marble, and terrazzo surfaces. There are also more specialized tooling, such as:
Terrazzo is known for being an attractive surface that needs little maintenance. It can often be seen in retail complexes, hospitals, and colleges. This kind of surface does need regular buffing in order to maintain its appearance. It is mandatory that you use the right tools for this job.
You can easily crack a terrazzo surface if you use the wrong tools. The first step is to search our products and find the right one for your desired outcome:
CASH pads will help you remove ground-in dirt so you can polish terrazzo slabs completely.
Terrazzo polishing pads have many varieties. They can be for rougher or smoother surfaces but will always leave a fine finish.
EG grout pans are used to push grout into holes. This will make the surface more durable and shiny.
The MG2 Diamond System is used in a mono-rotational machine. It is for wet grinding and polishing.
The TPS Diamond System is a seven-step polishing system. It will allow you to achieve an impressive shine on terrazzo flooring.
