Whether you’re grinding a garage floor, polishing a warehouse, coating a commercial space, or restoring terrazzo, a successful job depends on having the right equipment, the right tooling, and the right materials — often all for the same project. Chasing those pieces across multiple suppliers costs time and creates headaches when something doesn’t match.

That’s why, over the past year, we’ve significantly expanded what we offer at Substrate Technology — so you can get more of what you need from one source you trust, with expert support behind every product.

Here’s a look at the complete range we now carry.

Machines for Every Stage of the Job

Surface prep starts with the right machine, and we’ve grown our equipment lineup to cover the full process:

• Concrete floor grinders — our Prep/Master line for grinding, prep, and polishing, from compact residential machines to larger production models
• Shot blasters — our IMPACTS line for fast, even profiling of large areas
• Dust collectors — including our new Ruwac line, from compact portable HEPA units to heavy-duty performers that keep your job site silica-safe
• Floor strippers — new Janser machines for fast removal of vinyl, tile, and carpet before you prep the concrete
• Hand grinders and edgers — including U.S. Saws hand-held grinders and edge tools for the detail work
• Scarifiers, saws, and more — for aggressive removal and specialty cutting

From stripping the old floor to grinding, prepping, and finishing, we carry the machines for every step.

Diamond Tooling to Match

A machine is only as good as the tooling on it. We’ve dramatically expanded our diamond tooling selection — much of it from Inland Diamond — to fit virtually any grinder and any job:

• Cup wheels in every pattern and bond for grinding, coating removal, and finishing
• Surface prep and planetary tooling that fits a wide range of grinder platforms
• Terrazzo and marble tooling, including our patented STI terrazzo pads and specialty cove wheels
• Polishing pads for bringing floors to a high-gloss finish

Whatever you’re running and whatever you’re cutting, we can match you to the right tooling.

Chemicals, Coatings & Repair

Prepping and finishing a floor takes more than machines — it takes the right materials. We’ve expanded our chemical and coating lines to cover the whole job:

• Industrial coatings — a broad range of Smith’s polyaspartics, epoxies, and polyurethanes for durable, attractive floors
• Concrete repair and patching — including our new SSP line of UV-resistant repair materials, patching compounds, and joint sealants, plus Smith’s repair products
• Cleaners, sealers, densifiers, and polishing compounds — everything to prep, protect, and finish
• Decorative stains and dyes — for decorative concrete work

From repairing cracks and joints to coating and sealing the finished floor, we carry the materials to complete the job.

Why One Source Matters

Pulling your equipment, tooling, and materials from a single supplier isn’t just convenient — it means the pieces are matched to work together, and when you have a question, you’re talking to people who understand the whole job, not just one part of it.

That’s always been the difference at Substrate Technology: real surface-prep experts behind every product, not a call center. As we’ve grown our lineup, that hasn’t changed — we’ve just given you more of what you need, backed by the same expertise and support you count on.
