Effective sandblasting involves these essential tools: an air compressor, a blasting tank, a blasting nozzle, PPE, and a blasting hood.
The blasting tank is filled with an abrasive agent. Pressurized gas drives the sand through the blasting hose and onto the nozzle. The air pressure delivered to the blasting tank typically ranges between 40 to 100 PSI.
The blast distribution is governed by the nozzle's size, style, and pressure. How fast a sandblaster cleans depends on a few factors. Which abrasive compound is employed, the nozzle type, the air pressure, and the condition of the surface all play a part.
All of our sandblasting equipment is fully up to code, providing exceptional service without the risk of damage to your property or the integrity of your brickwork. We assess each site on a case-to-case basis, ensuring you get the results you deserve every time.
Sandblasting uses a stream of sand to clean paint, mildew, and graffiti from brickwork. Brick cleaning abrasives are typically made from sand, silica, or quartz.
You must be careful when sandblasting bricks because they have a protective film. This can erode if you set the pressure too high or treat the wall from too close a distance. Our team has the experience to get it right every time. We remove paint while keeping every brick intact.
You must always wear the proper safety gear when sandblasting bricks. Silica particles can be harmful to your health, making DIY sandblasting risky. Professional brick sandblasting companies come equipped with all the correct PPE, alongside comprehensive workman's comp insurance.
Cleanup is another important factor. The brick sandblasting process can leave behind a lot of residues. Our team is equipped to leave your property looking spotless following the sandblasting process.
Overall, brick sandblasting is a highly effective, yet labor-intensive process. While sandblasting brick by yourself is possible, our professional service will get the job done fast, with results you can be proud of.
Our pro brick sandblasters have the knowledge and expertise to make good any wall, no matter the size. Watch your tired or dirty walls restored to shining with our comprehensive service.
