Frequently asked questions
What size concrete floor grinder do I need? It depends on your square footage. Compact grinders suit garages and small rooms, walk-behind machines handle most commercial jobs, and ride-on grinders are best for large warehouses. Not sure? Call us and we'll help you choose.
What's the difference between a floor grinder and a shot blaster? A floor grinder uses diamond tooling to grind, smooth, and polish concrete, while a shot blaster propels steel shot to aggressively profile and clean a surface. Many contractors use both.
Are your floor grinders made in the USA? Yes — Prep/Master grinders are manufactured by Substrate Technology in Morris, Illinois.
