Media Blasting as a Modern Alternative to Sand

Benefits of media blasting include:
- Reduced health risks compared to silica sand
- Greater precision for sensitive materials
- Ability to customize media for each surface
- Cleaner and more controlled removal
By using media blasting techniques, we are able to clean surfaces thoroughly while preserving their strength and integrity.

Selecting the right blasting media is essential to achieving the best outcome. We use a variety of materials depending on the substrate and project goals.
Media options include:
Walnut shells for antique wood and delicate surfaces
