Product Information

Full details

The CCA Carborundum Smoothing Flooring Stone is designed for floor layers, masons, and concrete workers who need to create a smooth, uniform surface on screeds, concrete, brick, and stone. Its key benefit is its aggressive 24-grit silicon carbide abrasive that effectively removes high spots and form marks. A potential caveat is that it may wear down faster on very hard concrete surfaces, though its unique perforated design helps maintain grinding efficiency.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary use of this Carborundum stone?

Its primary use is to smooth, shape, and clean surfaces like screeds, concrete, brick, and stone by rubbing away high spots and imperfections, preparing them for floor coverings or achieving a uniform finish.

What does '24 Grit' mean?

24 Grit refers to the coarseness of the abrasive material (silicon carbide). A lower grit number like 24 indicates a coarser abrasive, suitable for faster material removal and smoothing.

How does the perforation design help?

The perforations run through the entire stone and help prevent clogging by allowing dust and debris to pass through, thereby maintaining the stone's grinding efficiency even as it wears down.

Can this be used on wood?

This stone is specifically designed for abrasive materials like concrete, screed, brick, and stone. It is not intended for use on wood surfaces.

What is the handle made of?

The handle is made of plastic, designed for grip and comfort during use.

How should I clean the stone?

You can clean the stone by brushing off dust and debris from its surface and perforations using a stiff brush. Ensure it is dry before storing.

When should I consider using more than one stone?

If you are working on very hard concrete surfaces for an extended period, using a second stone can help maintain a better finish and prolong the effective life of each stone.

Troubleshooting

Stone is not removing material effectively

Ensure the surface being worked on is appropriate (concrete, screed, brick, stone). Clean the perforations and abrasive surface of the stone to remove any clogging. If working on very hard concrete, consider using a second stone for consistent performance.

Stone appears to be wearing down too quickly

This is more likely on extremely hard concrete surfaces. The stone's design still maintains grinding efficiency due to perforations. For prolonged use on very hard materials, consider purchasing an additional stone, as discounts may be available.

Handle feels loose

Ensure the handle is properly seated in the stone. If it remains loose, contact customer support for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The CCA Carborundum Smoothing Flooring Stone requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.

Compatibility: This stone is most effective on concrete, screed, and plaster surfaces. It can also be used on brick and natural stone.

Care: To maintain the stone's performance, periodically clean the perforations and the abrasive surface to remove dust and debris. A stiff brush can be used for this purpose. Store in a dry place. Avoid dropping the stone, as impacts can chip or break the abrasive material.
