      <title>Pound for Pound the New Werkmaster–titan Is the Most Powerful Concrete Floor Grinder/edger/polisher Built Today</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Vancouver, BC, Canada -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/02/2007 --  The TITAN expels the myth that bigger and heavier is better. The 330 pound TITAN&apos;S powerful 10 HP motor delivers more grinding power and performance than many of today&apos;s larger planetary concrete floor grinders!<br />
<br />
In head to head competition with some of today&apos;s larger planetary machines, the TITAN proved to be up to 4.5 times faster in initial concrete material removal, and up to 8 times faster in polishing! And in edging, there is No Competition!<br />
<br />
Brian Wilson, President of Werk Industries stated: "Virtually every competitor&apos;s machine on the market today is based on the old planetary technology that can actually damage the surfaces they were designed to refinish, or injure the tradesman running the machine. These machines are large, heavy, slow and cumbersome and follow the concept of more weight is better. Some are so large and heavy they cannot get through standard doors or into some elevators. A large investment is tied up in a single use machine. Those that are designed to be lighter take too long to remove the surface material and cannot deliver the quality of finish that today&apos;s demanding customer is expecting."<br />
<br />
"What makes WerkMaster™ so unique? Octi-Disc™ Technology and SPEED! Our heads spin at disc speeds that are unheard of in the industry, stated Brian Wilson, and unavailable on a planetary! Think of a variable speed hand grinder – the faster your RPM, the FASTER the Rate of Removal! We have eight heads spinning at speeds that produce the fastest Rate of Removal in the industry without using heavy weight kits!"<br />
<br />
Incorporating WerkMaster&apos;s patent pending Octi-Disc™ Technology, the TITAN delivers results that today&apos;s&apos; professional commercial/residential/maintenance contractor can only dream about. This is by far the most aggressive, powerful floor grinding machine in it&apos;s class. <br />
<br />
The TITAN devours concrete, VCT glue, VAT glue, asphalt glue, tar, mastic, rubber back carpet residue, thinset, epoxy, paint and any other surface material you may encounter. It grinds through spalled concrete and rained out slabs like a hot knife through butter! WerkMasters™ deliver superior results and Rates of Removal that most competitors only dream of achieving! Contractors and tradesmen are amazed and delighted with the ease of use and total customer satisfaction achieved with a WerkMaster™. <br />
<br />
No other machine can edge as well as grind and polish concrete like a WerkMaster™.  The TITAN virtually eliminates edging as you can grind, polish and edge to within 1/8" of the wall and under counter tops right back to the kick plate! <br />
<br />
Use the new WerkMaster Dual Machine Ganging System tying two machines together giving you 36" floor coverage in one pass!<br />
<br />
Add the optional patent pending Random Orbital Heads and you can Polish, Buff and Shine concrete floors at the same time giving your customer a quality finish that no other machine can deliver!<br />
<br />
The tankless water feature allows both wet and dry grinding and polishing. Combining Octi-Disc™ Technology with the WerkMaster™ Eliminator vacuum system will deliver a 100% Airborne Dust and Allergen Free environment. <br />
<br />
See the new WerkMaster™ - TITAN at World of Concrete in Las Vegas, January 23-26, 2007<br />

      <title>Fab-u-Floors Refinishing Services First in North America Authorized for WerkMaster Concrete Polishing System</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Unique and proprietary concrete polishing system provides high gloss mechanical shine without use of epoxy's, poly urethanes or other chemical treatments. Results similar to highly polished granite, marble or terrazzo.</p><p>North Vancouver, BC, Canada -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/30/2006 --  Fab-u-Floors Refinishing Services Ltd. is pleased to announce they are the first company in North America authorized by Werk Industries to employ the new proprietary WerkMaster Concrete Polishing System.<br />
<br />
This unique and exclusive polishing system provides a high gloss mechanical shine on concrete without the use of epoxys, polyurethanes or other chemical treatments that require chemicals or additives to produce the shine. <br />
<br />
Fab-u-Floors and WerkMaster were commissioned by Intrawest Resorts, to develop this process for use in their new Mammoth Mountain Resort Condominium Development. Mike Hartigan, Senior Project Manager was ecstatic over the results. His comments were, "In all my years in the business, I have never, seen results like this! This is fantastic and beyond anything we expected. Boy&apos;s, you have a million dollar floor here! We want to spec it in our new developments as often as possible."<br />
<br />
The results are similar to highly polished granite or marble, giving an incredible finish and luster that will last for years without having to continually refinish the floors. The advantages are limitless, and can be used on concrete counter tops and it also allows for new unique design capabilities for tilt up concrete wall construction.<br />
<br />
These results can only be achieved by using the new WerkMaster Grinding/Polishing machines that utilize their Patent Pending Octi-Disc Technology. The WerkMaster actually flattens the floor so that all variations in the concrete surface are removed, allowing for a finer, smoother finish. <br />
<br />
The added advantage of the WerkMaster is that it grinds, edges and polishes to within 1/8" of the walls, eliminating the need for hand grinding and having to feather in the edges with the rest of the floor. This allows for a perfect, uniform finish without having any tool marks, throughout the project.<br />
<br />
Fab-u-Floors is also developing a franchise model that will allow new or existing businesses the opportunity to expand or enter the growing business of refinishing concrete, hardwood and stone. WerkMaster is the only machine in the world to successfully refinish Concrete, Hardwood and Stone surfaces using segmented diamond abrasives! It&apos;s patent pending Octi-Disc Technology virtually eliminates hand edging in nearly all applications, resulting in lower labour costs and superior finishes.<br />
<br />
Brian Wilson, President of Werk Industries stated, "The WerkMaster was originally developed to polish black granite, and subsequently, the  process now works on all natural stone products such as marble and travertine, as well as producing amazing results on terrazzo and concrete." <br />
<br />
WerkMaster products including the new Model 1600 – Raptor Edger/Grinder and the WerkMaster Concrete Polishing System will be on display at World of Concrete and Surfaces trade shows in Las Vegas in January 2007  and at Coverings trade show in Chicago in April 2007. <br />
