The new Joest flooring system is quickly revolutionizing the flooring industry; replacing the old, flawed floor sanding "screens," eliminating the need for edge sanders, and even replacing the post-sanding stages of a drum sander with 40, 60, or 80 grit.

Please refer to the link to our Floor Program .pdf for simple instructions to walk you through the Joest system for sanding wood flooring, surface grinding & planing, renovation of oiled surfaces, cleaning and reconditioning of laminate floors, and wet or dry cleaning systems. The recommended applications for optimal floor care and maintenance chart will show you all the steps for finishing nearly any type of surface, including wood, marble, tile, fine stone, laminate floors, and elastic floor coverings.
