my next door n-bor has the 'tuscan' ( knockdown ) lanai floor finish also & wants to change,,, the reluctance is due to the sealer & existing finish - grinding's the only proven permanent prep solution
btw, his floor has had a sealer installed,,, 1 can install water over solvent-bas'd sealers & water-bas'd over water-bas'd,,, no one can/should install solvent-bas'd over water-bas'd
we're dia grinding 12K sf 60 grit of conc next wk in atl & applying sealer - 3rd job for same client in past 5yrs - industrial mfg facility
