Abrasive blasting & sandblasting
Three stripping levels, one single company. We choose the method suited to your surface, or combine them for maximum efficiency: from delicate facades to heavily corroded metal.
Three stripping levels
Abrasive blasting
Fine natural abrasive at low pressure. Preserves sensitive surfaces: wood, stone, brick, facades. No water or chemicals.
Sandblasting
Coarse abrasive at high pressure. Bare metal exposure, removal of deep rust and industrial coatings.
Combined COB71R
Abrasive and dry ice in the same flow. Thermal shock plus mechanical action for extreme contamination and post-fire situations.
Comparing stripping techniques
| Criteria | Abrasive blasting | Sandblasting | Combined COB71R |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Delicate surfaces | Bare metal | Extreme contamination |
| Pressure | Low | High | High |
| Risk of damage | Very low | Moderate on soft materials | Low with correct settings |
| Typical use | Facades, heritage, wood | Structural steel, rust removal | Post-fire, heavy industrial soiling |
Sectors we work with
Heritage & monuments
Stone facades, sculptures, listed buildings, non-abrasive cleaning that preserves the original material.
Industry & structural steel
Rust removal, paint stripping before recoating, structural steel preparation.
Building & facades
Renovation, facade cleaning, moss and biofilm removal without water infiltration.
Post-fire
Soot and corrosive residue removal on structures and equipment after fire damage.
Graffiti removal
Tag and graffiti removal on stone, brick, metal and wood without damaging the substrate.
Wood & timber frames
Beam and timber frame cleaning, moss and mould removal without adding moisture.
