Which Flooring Machine Hire Option is Best for Your Project?

If you’re working on a flooring project, you will need appropriate, reliable equipment to get the job done. As each type of machine is designed for a specific purpose, it’s important to choose a solution that will meet your needs. Find out more about the flooring machines available for hire at Concept Flooring Technology in this article.

The Key Considerations

Before hiring equipment, it’s essential to evaluate the specific needs of your project. You should consider the following key factors in your decision process:

  • Surface preparation requirements
  • Project scale
  • Environmental considerations

By carefully taking these considerations into account, you can make an informed decision when it comes to choosing your flooring equipment. 

Concrete Grinders

As a material that offers many advantages, concrete is used widely across many flooring projects. Concrete grinder machines can be used to grind a minute layer from the surface of a concrete floor, which may be applicable for removing old coatings, smoothing uneven surfaces, and restoring worn floors. Grinding prepares the concrete for sealing, which ensures better adhesion of any new layers of sealant, paint, or other coating.

Scabblers & Planers

Scabblers are a type of flooring machine hire used for surface preparation. These can reduce the height of the flooring surface and can help to create a textured finish. Airtech RT2000 hire is ideal for surfaces that need rubber, adhesives, or other coatings removed. This lightweight option is suited for small areas, making it perfect for smaller projects or tight areas. Alternatively, for larger-scale projects, choose our Airtec RM320 Planer. This machine has a self-propelled design, allowing it to work over huge areas with ease.

Dust Control

Dust can get in the way of a project going smoothly. Thankfully, dust control machines can help to remove any dust that has been created during the project or that has been disturbed in the process. Opt for the Ermator T7500 Dust Extractor, for example, which is suitable for large areas and meets asbestos requirements.

Polishing/Finishing Grinders

If you’re looking to provide your flooring with a high-quality polished finish, a polishing/finishing grinder could be right for you. Equipped with industrial diamonds, diamond floor grinders and polishers are often used after a concrete grinder to remove the surface layer of concrete. Opt to hire our HTC 420 Grinder Polisher, which is lightweight and perfect for small areas. For large areas, on the other hand, you might want to choose to hire the HTC Duratiq X6 Grinder Polisher, which is equipped to deal with large areas.

Floor Cleaning Machines

To ensure that your flooring is kept clean, you will need a floor cleaning machine. These solutions are designed to ensure a floor is both clean and presentable. The Numatic TT4045 hire, for example, offers a brushing action to effectively remove grime from your flooring. You can hire this solution from our team today. If you’re unsure that a floor cleaning machine is right for your project, you can speak to our friendly team, who would be happy to help.
