When a client looks at a finished GLI Epoxy Flooring installation, they see the flake blend or the metallic finish or the clean solid colour.
What they do not see is the three to four hours of diamond grinding that happened before any of that was possible. That preparation work is invisible in the final result precisely because it was done correctly.
Here is what industrial diamond grinding actually does to a Toronto slab.
It removes old coatings, adhesives, sealers, and surface contamination that would prevent epoxy from bonding.
It strips away the weak top layer of concrete, called laitance, that forms naturally over time and creates a false surface.
It opens the concrete's pores and creates a mechanical profile that allows epoxy to pe*****te and grip at a level that resists real-world use rather than just looking good on day one.
Toronto slabs vary significantly depending on the age of the home, the neighbourhood, and the history of the floor. A mid-century slab in East York behaves differently from a newer pour in North York or a commercial floor in the downtown core.
GLI assesses every slab individually before recommending either diamond grinding or concrete shot blasting, because applying the same process to every floor regardless of its condition is how contractors end up with callbacks.
