Assess
Identify the substrate, existing materials, surface condition, site constraints and finished-floor requirements.
Commercial Floor Preparation
The finished floor can only perform as well as the surface beneath it. We prepare substrates for a sound, smooth and dependable installation.
The Foundation Of Every Finish
Commercial floor preparation is not a single product or process. Existing finishes, adhesive residues, surface contamination, cracks, flatness and the intended floor covering all influence the preparation method.
Celtic Floors assesses the project requirements before selecting the appropriate combination of removal, mechanical preparation, repairs, priming, patching and levelling. The aim is to provide a clean, sound and suitably smooth surface for the specified adhesive and finish.
Early assessment can also expose conditions that may affect sequencing or programme. Addressing these issues before installation helps reduce visible imperfections, weak bonds, uneven wear and avoidable disruption after handover.
Our Approach
Preparation is matched to the condition of the floor and the tolerances of the selected finish.
Identify the substrate, existing materials, surface condition, site constraints and finished-floor requirements.
Lift unwanted coverings and remove weak material, residues or contaminants that could compromise adhesion.
Repair defects and use appropriate patching, priming or levelling systems to improve the surface.
Check that the prepared floor is clean, sound and ready for the specified installation system.
Commercial Performance
Levelling and smoothing reduce irregularities that may telegraph through the finished surface.
A clean and sound substrate provides the foundation required by primers and adhesives.
Surface conditions and product requirements are considered before the selected flooring system is installed.
Grinding, removal, patching and levelling are selected according to the siteānot applied by habit.
Drying and curing windows are allowed for when coordinating subsequent floor finishes.
Preparation can flow directly into the carpet, vinyl, tile or timber installation.
