Thanks to all for the advice. I think I will pass on it because of a combination of factors: 1) It’s an hour away from our shop. 2.) We’ve never done it before. I like to learn how to do new processes, but only if they are relatively close to home.StuartOn Jan 23, 2017, at 9:24 AM, Tony Deluna <tndeluna@gmail.com> wrote:Hey Stu, we've flattened a lot of Stone tiles and concrete.I agree with Bayard, if you can get away with knocking down a few high brick and saving the normal appearance that would be an easier way to get through the job.But if you got to grind and level you're going to need a big 220volt machine with a vacuumLike a Lavina 25 & egrmator s36 vacuum.On a floor like that I would start with 3" 30 grit beveled metal bond lippage cutters. That way you're wasting minimal time cutting stock and flattening.Once it's flat each successive grit goes relatively quick.Metal bond 30Metal bond 75Metal bond 120 finish hereResin bond 220 or here$10-12per sqft.2 man job 1 week with Lavina & vac. They may rent them close by depending on where you are The mess is minimal kind of.Expect to remove several hundred lbs. of brick powder. I wouldn't do it wet unless you want a big messStu I hope that helpsGood luckDo one half of a brick with a hand machine and submit for approval.
Sent from my iPhoneI have never done thatIt will be a big mess-but do-able.I think you have to be very mindful of the sanded mortar grout.May want to consider using a hard bond metal diamond for the initial grinding cut then move to brushes or DIP's.Stone glamour works well on bricks-On Sat, Jan 21, 2017 at 2:55 PM, Baird Standish <bairdstandish@gmail.com> wrote:I would do a test with low grit metal diamonds or a low grit malish brush and convince him that taking some of the edges down is more economical and authentic looking than flattening the floor completely.________________________________________ From the desk ofBaird StandishManaging PartnerFacility Specialists, LLC15 West Highland Ave. Suite EPhiladelphia, PA 19118Phone: 215-732-7505Fax: 215-546-9160Everyone,Happy New Year. Home owner has 900 sq ft of this brick. He wants it flattened. (A lot of lippage). Anybody had any experience flattening this brick? One concern is that it is only 1/2 inch thick.
