What Are The Different Types Of Industrial Floors, And Which Would Best Suit Your Needs?
Epoxy Resin Flooring:
Created using epoxy resins and Respol’s optional co-reactants (which can make your industrial floor heat, chemical, slip, and static resistant), this type of flooring is renowned as the most popular choice for an extensive range of industries. Sectors such as pharmaceutical (including clean rooms), food and beverage production, and automotive manufacturing benefit from its strength, durability and easy-to-clean, hygienic nature. Epoxy floors are also effective in high-traffic factories, warehouses, and garages because of their longevity.
Concrete Densifier Flooring:
Concrete densifier flooring offers a seamless, durable and long-wearing surface that is well suited to a variety of applications, including factory and warehouse environments.
Polyurethane Flooring:
Typically considered as an alternative to epoxy flooring, polyurethane screeds and coatings are commonly used for heavy-duty industrial environments. Polyurethane is a material known for its performance, durability and easy-to-clean nature.
Polymer Flooring:
Polymer flooring is most commonly used in factories, where there is heavy-traffic or the likelihood of spillages. This type of flooring is incredibly resistant against corrosion, thermal fluctuation, external factors, and heat, making it a strong contender for a large range of industries and applications.
MMA Flooring:
MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) floors are particularly well-suited to the chemical, electronic and automotive industries, where heavy machinery and dangerous substances may be present. These industrial floors are durable, hygienic and able to withstand incredibly high temperatures.
