GRIT BLASTING

GRIT BLASTING IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE CLEANING AND COATING REMOVAL TECHNIQUES.

VariBlast are experts in the application of all grit blasting techniques and have worked on projects ranging from graffiti removal and domestic property renovation using portable systems, up to large scale construction projects using heavy-duty industrial equipment.

Grit blasting or what we used to call sand blasting, is excellent method for completely removing coatings. It can be used to remove all corrosion, coatings and contamination from steel, leaving the surface ready to accept any specified coating or protective finish. Our trained operatives also use grit blasting to remove paint, grime and dirt from timber, brickwork, stone and concrete structures.

No other abrasive cleaning system can compete with the power and consistency of finish provided by grit blasting. Following a site survey, we will recommend the best choice of media and dry blasting solution to ensure we achieve the specifications required.

KEEPING IT CLEAN

Grit blasting is the perfect solution for a large range of projects, but it does have certain limitations.

There is often a high degree of residue created by the process, so effective debris and dust management is also required to ensure that the site is left free from contaminating materials, following a dry blasting operation.

As part of our grit blast cleaning service at VariBlast, we advise on how we plan to manage the residue and waste at the beginning of the project, giving you peace of mind and assurance that everything will be dealt with properly and with your best interests at heart.
