If you are looking to repaint the concrete, brick or metal surfaces outside your home, it is important to ensure they are properly prepared. Peeling paint will cause the fresh coat to flake off. Not removing built-up dirt and grease can cause poor paint adhesion. Areas of missing paint will leave visible lines and can look unprofessional. Dustless sandblasting can take care of these common problems and leave a beautiful surface ready for a flawless finish.

Why Choose Dustless Sandblasting?

To prepare these surfaces by hand takes a lot of time. It can place unnecessary strain on your arm, wrist and hand as you scrape and wash the different surfaces needing new paint. You may need to use harmful paint strippers to remove any paint that has stood up to the elements. Depending on the project’s size, it can take days to weeks to remove old paint by hand. For vertical surfaces, such as the walls of a painted brick house, additional dangers of working above your head and balancing on ladders can present a challenge. A faster, easier way to remove the paint is using dustless sandblasting. It safely strips the paint away without damaging the surface underneath.

Is Dustless Sandblasting Safe?

Dustless sandblasting is not like the sandblasting of the old days. It uses recycled glass, soda or sand combined with water to remove the paint. The water prevents any dust clouds from forming and rinses the surfaces at the same time. There are no chemicals to worry about, no detergent residue and it is an eco-friendly choice.

Can I Perform Dustless Sandblasting Myself?

While you can rent dustless sandblasting equipment in some areas, it is not recommended. Although it is a safe process, it still takes a special skill set to operate without damaging the surfaces you are trying to clean. Different materials and different paints will need different sandblasting material. Each material will need different levels of pressure to get the job done right.
