What Is Bead Blasting?

Bead blasting is a type of abrasive blasting service that uses tiny metal beads to remove impurities such as lead-based paint, mold, and asbestos from surfaces. This process uses controlled air pressure to shoot beads across a surface for cleaning, making it a safer, more environmentally friendly option than other cleaners. Your bead blasting will be customized to each surface’s specific needs. We use the following types of beads with our clients:

Large beads for a coarser, more conductive surface
Small beads for a smoother, shinier finish
Sharp-cut beads for heavy-duty cleaning
Round beads for gentle cleaning on metal surfaces

Our Bead Blasting in Los Angeles

Contaminant Removal

When we say we’re ready for anything, we mean it. Our team is trained and licensed to remove lead, mold, and asbestos from commercial properties, and bead blasting can be used to clear away grime after fire and smoke damage. We’ll ensure the cleaned surfaces meet regulatory requirements before the next phase of your project begins.

Surface Cleaning and Deburring

Clients typically come to us for bead blasting when they need precision cleaning, but deburring is a common request. During deburring, beads are used to smooth rough surfaces and remove small bits of metal leftover from welding. We can target both goals during bead blasting to customize your service to your property’s exact needs.

Environmental Responsibility

Bead blasting is one of the most environmentally-friendly options for surface cleaning, as the beads can be reused several times and leave no residue. This reduces both waste and air pollution during cleaning, posing no health or safety hazards to workers.

Bead Blasting vs. Sandblasting

Many of our Los Angeles clients inquire about sandblasting during their initial consultation and site assessment. We recommend bead blasting, as it’s a more cost-effective, safe, and versatile process. Metal beads are more effective at removing contaminants and pose no health risks during cleaning, unlike sand, which contains silica that can be harmful if inhaled.
