Concrete Floor Grinder Domestic 230V Concrete Floor Grinder Hire Dublin Need to grind, smooth or prepare a concrete floor at home? – (This is not a concrete polisher) Hire our compact 230V Concrete Floor Grinder from A-Z Hire in Dublin. This professional 230mm diamond floor grinder is ideal for domestic renovations, garages, extensions, workshops, retail units and smaller commercial floors. Unlike larger site floor grinders, the 230V version can be operated from a standard 13 amp domestic electrical supply, making it an excellent choice for homeowners and contractors working in occupied buildings. Ideal for: Grinding concrete floors Smoothing rough concrete Removing minor high spots Removing concrete laitance Removing tile adhesive Removing carpet adhesive and residues Removing old floor paint Removing some epoxy coatings Preparing concrete before painting Preparing floors for epoxy coatings Preparing floors before self-levelling compounds Garage floor renovation Home renovation projects Available to hire from A-Z Hire, Walkinstown, Dublin 12. A Proper Concrete Grinder That Runs From a Domestic Socket One of the biggest advantages of this floor grinder is that it combines professional concrete grinding performance with the convenience of 230V power. The machine can be operated from a normal 13 amp electrical supply, so there is no need for a 110V transformer on suitable domestic and commercial jobs. This makes it particularly convenient for: Houses Apartments Garages Extensions Shops Offices Workshops Small commercial premises Simply connect the grinder to a suitable electrical supply and connect a compatible dust extraction vacuum. 230mm Diamond Concrete Grinding Head The machine uses a 230mm / 9-inch diamond grinding system. Its relatively compact grinding width makes it easier to control and manoeuvre than larger commercial floor grinders while still providing significantly faster concrete preparation than attempting the job with a small handheld grinder. The machine is designed to provide balanced, controlled grinding across the concrete surface. What Can This Concrete Floor Grinder Do? Smooth Rough Concrete The diamond grinding head can remove the upper surface of rough concrete, helping to produce a smoother and more consistent floor. It is ideal where the concrete has: Rough patches Trowel marks Small ridges Surface imperfections Minor high areas Laitance Remove High Spots from Concrete If one section of your concrete floor sits slightly higher than the surrounding area, grinding can be used to gradually reduce the high area. This can be particularly useful before installing flooring or applying a levelling compound. Remember that a grinder removes high areas — it cannot fill low areas. Remove Tile Adhesive and Carpet Residue With the appropriate diamond tooling, this machine can be used to remove stubborn residues left behind after lifting: Floor tiles Carpet Vinyl flooring Previous floor coverings It can be particularly useful during house and commercial property renovations where the original concrete floor needs to be exposed and prepared again. Remove Paint and Floor Coatings Suitable grinding tooling can also remove many old floor paints and surface coatings. This makes the grinder useful when renovating: Garage floors Workshop floors Retail premises Utility rooms Commercial units Previously painted concrete floors Some particularly thick or resilient coatings may require specialist tooling or a more aggressive floor preparation machine. Ask A-Z Hire if you’re unsure. Prepare Concrete Before Painting Painting concrete without properly preparing the surface can result in poor adhesion and premature coating failure. Diamond grinding mechanically prepares the concrete and can remove: Dirt embedded in the surface Weak surface material Existing paint Laitance Previous residues Minor imperfections The resulting surface provides a much better key for floor paints and coatings. Perfect for Preparing Garage Floors One of the most common DIY applications for this machine is garage floor preparation. If you’re planning to apply: Garage floor paint Epoxy coating Resin flooring Concrete sealer grinding the existing concrete can dramatically improve the surface before applying the new finish. A concrete grinder is particularly useful where the garage floor is smooth, contaminated, previously painted or has an inconsistent surface. Preparing Concrete for Self-Levelling Compound Grinding can also be useful before applying a self-levelling compound. The grinder can remove high areas and contamination before the levelling product is applied. This is particularly useful during: Kitchen renovations Extensions Garage conversions Bathroom renovations New flooring installations Always follow the flooring or levelling compound manufacturer’s surface preparation requirements. Concrete Floor Preparation Before Epoxy The machine is ideal for mechanically preparing concrete prior to many epoxy and resin floor systems. Grinding can open the surface of the concrete and create a suitable profile for the subsequent floor coating. This makes the machine useful for both domestic and commercial: Garage floors Workshops Utility rooms Retail units Storage areas Commercial floors Dust Extraction Connection Concrete grinding creates very fine dust. This floor grinder incorporates a dust extraction hood and rubber skirt designed to contain dust around the grinding head. For best results, the machine should be connected to a suitable industrial concrete dust extraction vacuum. A-Z Hire can supply suitable dust extraction equipment alongside the grinder. Using dust extraction helps: Reduce airborne concrete dust Keep the work area cleaner Improve visibility Reduce clean-up Improve grinding performance Easy to Use and Manoeuvre At approximately 42kg, this machine is significantly smaller and lighter than our larger DFG 400 twin-head grinder. The twin-handle design gives the operator good control while the adjustable handle allows the machine to be positioned comfortably. The compact dimensions also make it easier to transport and manoeuvre through domestic properties. Domestic Floor Grinder or DFG 400 Twin Head Grinder? A-Z Hire offers different concrete floor grinders depending on the size of your project. Choose This 230V Concrete Floor Grinder For: Houses Garages Extensions Small to medium rooms DIY projects Retail units Smaller commercial floors Areas where 230V domestic power is required Jobs where easier transportation is important Localised grinding and preparation Choose Our DFG 400 Twin Head Grinder For: Large open floors Warehouses Factories Large commercial premises Large construction projects Projects where faster floor coverage is important The DFG 400 has a 400mm grinding width, while this compact machine uses a 230mm grinding head. For a typical house renovation or garage floor, the smaller 230V machine will often be the more practical choice. Floor Grinder or Floor Planer? These machines perform different jobs. Choose a Concrete Floor Grinder If You Want To: Smooth concrete Prepare concrete before painting Remove minor high spots Remove laitance Remove adhesive residue Remove lighter coatings Produce a more consistent surface Consider a Floor Planer / Floor Scrabbler If You Need To: Aggressively remove concrete Remove thick coatings Remove substantial amounts of material Texture concrete Reduce significant high areas A-Z Hire stocks a range of concrete floor preparation equipment, so if you’re unsure which machine you need, ask before hiring. Choosing the correct machine can save a considerable amount of time. Can I Use This Concrete Grinder at Home? Yes. This is one of the main advantages of this machine. The 230V floor grinder operates from a standard 13 amp domestic power supply, making it ideal for DIY and residential renovation work. Typical home applications include: Grinding garage floors Preparing floors in extensions Removing tile adhesive Removing old floor coatings Smoothing rough concrete Preparing concrete before painting Preparing floors before levelling compound Garage conversions Despite being convenient for domestic use, this is still a professional diamond floor grinder, not a lightweight DIY sander. Can It Grind Right Up to a Wall? The machine can grind relatively close to edges, but like most walk-behind floor grinders it cannot reach perfectly into every wall edge or corner. For these areas, a smaller handheld concrete grinder may be required. A-Z Hire can supply both machines if your project requires full floor and edge preparation. Can I Polish Concrete With It? This machine is primarily a concrete grinding and surface preparation machine. If your objective is a specialist polished-concrete finish this is something completely different. Speak to us before hiring. Polished concrete normally requires multiple stages, progressively finer tooling and specialist polishing equipment rather than simply using a standard grinding disc. Concrete Floor Grinder Hire Price €40 + VAT per day €120 + VAT per week Grinding Discs are an additional cost. Available from A-Z Hire in Walkinstown, Dublin 12.
