FREQUENT QUESTIONS
DO YOU NEED OUR HELP?
How to choose the most suitable texture according to the type of project or surface?
The choice of texture will always depend on the intended use of the surface. For exteriors or areas exposed to water and high traffic, we recommend medium or rough textures for their slip resistance. For interiors or decorative projects, softer textures and light sandblasting are best. In case of doubts, we offer specialized advice to choose the ideal texture according to your specific needs.
How to use the bush-hammering machine to make anti-slip bands or strips?
To make non-slip strips accurately and uniformly, use a straight ruler or guide on the surface and rest the bushhammering machine guard on it. Our machines have a specific universal head for this type of work, especially useful on stairs or steps, facilitating the execution. In addition, the width of the strips can be adjusted to 3.5 cm or 8.5 cm depending on the position of the plate.
What aspects are important when texturing large stone or concrete surfaces?
When working on large surfaces, it is essential to maintain a homogeneous texture. For this purpose, we recommend high-performance rollers and fast systems such as “Quick Change”, which reduce downtime and improve efficiency in continuous and large jobs.
Can the bushhammer be used on concrete or concrete, and also to remove paints and coatings?
Yes, our bushhammer machines are specifically designed for texturing concrete and concrete surfaces. They can also be used effectively to remove common paints and epoxy coatings, providing a safe and effective solution without damaging the original surface, thus preparing it for new treatments or finishes.
BOOST YOUR PROJECTS
Why do my bushhammering tools lock up or unexpectedly start scratching the material?
This often occurs due to wear or blockage in bearings, lack of sharpness in widia tips, or damage to chucks and roller supports. To avoid these problems, it is essential to perform regular inspections, keep tools clean and lubricated, and use effective dust extraction systems to minimize dust, thus ensuring quality and accuracy of work.
What factors should I consider when working with different types of stone such as granite, marble or sandstone?
The result of bushhammering varies according to the type of stone due to its specific properties. For example, hard stones such as granite offer finer finishes, while softer stones such as marble or sandstone allow for more marked and varied textures (coarse, medium, fine, sandblasted and micro-sandblasted). It is important to select the right tool and make a prior evaluation of the hardness and abrasiveness of the material to optimize the result.
How do climatic conditions affect stone and concrete bushhammering?
Conditions such as humidity, extreme temperatures and prolonged sun exposure can significantly affect the bushhammering process. For optimal results, it is important to work in favorable climatic conditions, avoiding extreme temperatures and ensuring that surfaces are dry. In addition, we recommend the use of heavy-duty tools specifically designed to maintain efficient performance, even in demanding environments.
What causes boards to break when bushhammering and how to avoid it?
Breaks are often caused by insufficient material thickness or by worn or poorly adjusted tools. Internal stresses in the material can also contribute to the problem. To prevent this, adjust the working pressure correctly and always make sure to use tools that are in perfect condition and suitable for the material being worked.
What maintenance do bush-hammered surfaces require to maintain their appearance and functionality?
Although robust, these surfaces may need regular maintenance due to traffic, dust or natural wear and tear. We recommend periodic cleaning with mild products and, in specific cases, the application of sealers to prolong their aesthetic and anti-slip properties.
How to avoid premature wear of bushhammering tools?
Opting for tools made of durable materials, such as certified widia tips, and following regular basic maintenance, such as cleaning after each use, are key to prolonging their service life. In addition, using the right tools for each material avoids unnecessary wear and tear.
