What Are The Requirements For Workshop Flooring?
Workshop environments will experience heavy traffic every day, which means that, typically, all workshops require a reliable, sturdy flooring system that is suitable for heavy machinery, vehicles, and equipment. It may also need to be chemical-resistant, depending on the workshop use, whether that may be for the automotive, manufacturing, aircraft, electrical or repair sectors. Whatever its use, it will almost always need to be anti-slip, as this ensures a safe and efficient working environment. There may also be other requirements, depending on the processes and applications that it is used for.
What Is The Best Type Of Flooring For Workshops?
The most popular flooring choice for workshops is industrial epoxy resin flooring, which is renowned for its durability, reliability and strength. It offers reliable performance even in high-traffic areas and is easy to maintain due to its excellent, easy-to-clean surface. Epoxy resin flooring also stands up well in the face of heavy vehicles and machinery, making it ideal for workshop environments. However, we’d also recommend MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) flooring for automotive and car workshops and garages. This type of flooring is comprised of thermoplastic resins chemically bonded between installation layers. This results in unparalleled strength, particularly in environments that utilise dangerous substances or heavy machinery.
How Can RESPOL Help? What Workshop Flooring Solutions Do We Offer?
RESPOL is a leading UK contractor of an extensive range of high-performance, heavy-duty industrial flooring solutions, including floors for workshop environments. We offer both epoxy resin flooring and MMA flooring systems, which we recommended above. In particular our epoxy resin flooring is particularly ideal for workshops as we offer a range of co-reactants that better tailor it to your exact requirements. Our range of co-reactants includes everything from heat and chemical resistance to anti-static and anti-slip properties to ensure your workshop flooring meets the specific needs of your operations. RESPOL also offers polyurethane screeds and coatings, which work well in aviation and aerospace workshops. We also offer other decorative and functional services, including health and safety floor markings. Depending on your workshop, you may benefit from these markings to draw attention to safety warnings or risky areas where heavy machinery or vehicles may cause danger. We do these using heavy-duty epoxy resin floor paint to ensure a long-lasting finish. A new addition to our portfolio is air bearing flooring, a solution that would work well in workshops that carry out aircraft and automotive manufacturing. This type of flooring relies on air flotation technology, which uses compressed air and air bearings to create a thin film or cushion that makes heavy equipment or vehicles easier and safer to move.
From design, preparation and installation to repair and maintenance, you can rely on RESPOL for high quality, reliability and longevity!
