- Heavy duty dustpan
- Ships

Good to know
- Sweeping is bulk removal only. The slab still has to be vacuumed before coating, because anything left behind cures into the film.
- The pile from a full broadcast flake floor is much larger than people expect. A wide pan saves real time on cleanup day.
- Sweep before you vacuum so the extractor is not choking on chip and aggregate.
- Keep the prep pan separate from anything used near wet coating. Dust carried back onto a wet floor is a defect.
About the Heavy Duty Dustpan
A 17 inch dustpan is a prep tool on a coating crew. Between grinding dust, scraped-off adhesive, chipped concrete and the pile of loose flake that comes off a broadcast floor the day after, there is a real volume of debris that has to leave the slab before anything can be coated over it.
Width is what makes this useful. Seventeen inches picks up in fewer passes and matches a push broom better than a household pan, which matters when one person is clearing a two car garage worth of scraped chip while the rest of the crew is staging material. A heavy duty pan also survives being stood on and dragged, which is what actually kills lighter ones.
The dustpan is for bulk removal, not for final cleanliness. Anything left behind ends up in the wet film, so the slab still gets vacuumed after sweeping. A pan and broom are what keep the vacuum from being buried, not a substitute for it.
What it is used for
- Clearing scraped-off loose flake before topcoating
- Removing grinding and scarifying debris during prep
- General slab cleanup between prep and coating
- Site cleanup at the end of a pour
Questions about this product
Why does a coating crew need a wide dustpan?
A 17 inch heavy duty dustpan clears the real volume of debris that floor prep generates: grinding dust, scraped adhesive and the loose flake removed after a broadcast cures. A wider pan pairs with a push broom and clears a garage in a fraction of the passes.
Is sweeping enough before I coat a floor?
No, sweeping with a broom and dustpan is bulk removal only, and the slab still has to be vacuumed before any coating goes down, because fine dust left on the surface interferes with bond. It also gets carried into the wet film and stays visible.
How much debris comes off a flake floor?
More than most people plan for. A full broadcast flake floor is broadcast to rejection, so the chip that never bonds is scraped up the next day and can fill several bags on a garage sized floor. That cleanup step is a scheduled part of the job, not an afterthought.
Do I need a separate dustpan for the coating side of the job?
Keeping a prep dustpan separate from anything used near wet coating is worth the small cost. A pan loaded with grinding dust and scraped debris carries fine particles that will land in a wet film if it is brought back onto the floor during the pour.
