Latex & Glue Removal
Siddons Floor Preparation Ltd offers a comprehensive service for the removal of glue and latex from commercial and industrial floors. Using the latest equipment and time-proven techniques, our flooring specialists will completely remove all traces of the adhesive compound before preparing the surface for the new flooring system.
Latex / Glue Removal Processes
Latex / glue is a self-levelling compound that is widely used to secure vinyl sheet, carpets and carpet tiles in place (typically in commercial and industrial environments).
When the carpet / vinyl tiles are removed, the latex or glue will remain on the floor. This must be removed, restoring the floor back to the bare concrete by applying a heavy grind using aggressive PCD diamond tips before new latex can be re-applied.
K screed is a widely used form of pump-concrete, especially in new construction developments. This also requires a light diamond grind (using hard bond diamond tips) to remove the soft top-layer to provide a key before new latex can be applied.
Why Siddons Floor Preparation Ltd?
