Sandblasting is an ideal solution and control measure / risk management to ensure your surface has a high coefficient of friction and is in accordance with the Australian Standards for slip resistance and the classification of pedestrian surfaces (AS 4586-2013; AS 4663-2013; CSIRO Handbook HB 198).
Our on-site service will increase the slip resistance of your surface, reduce the health and safety risks, reduce public liability and eliminate the inconvenience of a complete renovation or replacement.
Our abrasive blast process will remove the top layer of slurry (smooth surface/low friction) and expose the underlying aggregate resulting in a coarse finish and increased friction.
Sandblasting is applicable to residential, commercial and industrial surface areas of concrete, ceramic tiles, granite, marble, terrazzo, clay pavers and steel plate etc.
