When preparing concrete for coatings, polishing, or resurfacing, having the right grinding equipment makes all the difference. Lavina concrete grinders are designed for professional contractors who need dependable performance, efficient surface preparation, and equipment that can handle demanding jobsite conditions.
What Are Lavina Concrete Grinders?
Lavina concrete grinders are professional floor preparation machines used to grind, level, and prepare concrete surfaces before coatings, polishing, or resurfacing.
Known for their durability and performance, Lavina grinders are widely used by contractors working on garage floors, commercial concrete projects, and industrial surface preparation jobs.
These grinders use rotating diamond tooling to remove coatings, smooth uneven concrete, and create the proper surface profile needed for coatings to bond correctly.
Whether you’re removing old coatings or preparing a new concrete surface, Lavina grinding equipment provides the control and power contractors rely on.

Choosing the Right Grinder for Your Project
Selecting the right concrete grinder depends on the type of job you’re performing and the conditions of the concrete surface.
Job Size
The size of the project plays a major role in selecting the right grinder.
- Small residential garages may require compact walk-behind grinders
- Larger commercial floors often require more powerful grinding equipment
Power Requirements
Concrete grinders may operate on different power setups depending on their size.
- Smaller grinders may use single-phase power
- Larger machines may require three-phase power for higher performance
Surface Condition
Different surfaces require different grinding approaches.
- Old coatings may require aggressive tooling
- Rough or uneven concrete may require leveling
- Polishing preparation requires specific grinding steps
Tooling Compatibility
Diamond tooling plays a critical role in grinding performance and final results. Choosing the correct tooling helps ensure efficient coating removal and proper surface preparation.
