What Are Concrete Floor Coverings?
Concrete floor coverings refers to the chemical or material you use to coat your existing concrete floors, to create a certain finish or specific level of protection. The concrete coating you choose will depend on your exact flooring requirements and the specific look you are going for particularly in relation to your industry, application or project.
What Are The Benefits Of Concrete Floor Coverings?
The major benefit of concrete floor coverings is that they enable you to tailor your flooring solution to your exact need and requirements. Concrete coverings help to reinforce the durability, resilience and strength of your existing concrete flooring, making them seamless, impermeable and able to deal with constant foot traffic and contaminants. It also means that you can make your flooring solution highly resistant against a number of factors, whether that may be shock, chemical, heat, water or UV. By carefully considering your concrete floor covering, you can achieve your optimal floor finish.
What RESPOL Industrial Concrete Floor Coating Is The Best For Your Industry And Application?
Epoxy Coatings:
Epoxy coatings, floors and even epoxy paint are the most popular industrial floor coverings, as they offer optimal strength, longevity and durability, even in high-traffic areas. This type of concrete floor coating is a great choice for a wide range of working environments, including, but not limited to, automotive garages, food and beverage production facilities, laboratories and clean rooms. This is because it is easy-to-clean and incredibly hygienic. We also offer concrete floor paint made out of epoxy resin, that is adjustable to your functional and aesthetic needs, including resistance against different substances and the specific look or colours you are going for.
Polymer Coatings:
Polymer concrete floor coatings are a popular choice for factory and hospital environments, as they suit heavy traffic areas where spillages and constant foot traffic are commonplace. They are also highly resistant to external factors, such as corrosion, heat, and thermal fluctuation, which makes them suitable for both internal and external industrial use.
Polyurethane Coatings:
Polyurethane screeds and concrete coatings are a highly considered alternative to epoxy coatings as they share their strength, performance and durability. Therefore, they are also well-suited to high-traffic areas in constant use and heavy-duty environments, even those with stringent hygiene requirements. Typically polyurethane floor coatings are also used for commercial and residential spaces, as well as clean rooms. RESPOL’s advanced formula also makes it appropriate for more industrial challenges. This type of concrete coating is actually more versatile than epoxy coatings, and can also be used for a range of functional and decorative purposes.
MMA Coatings:
Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) industrial floor coatings are a great choice for the electronic and chemical sectors, as well as for automotive garage floors. This is because MMA floors thrive in environments where heavy machinery, constant foot traffic, dangerous substances and conditions are commonplace.
Concrete Densifier Coatings:
A concrete densifier is a chemical hardener which is evenly spread across your existing floors and other concrete surfaces to enable it to penetrate the top layer or the surface of the concrete. This fills porous holes which are formed from the water evaporation that commonly occurs during the curing process of floors. Densifiers can be used on both polished concrete flooring and non-polished concrete floors. Concrete densifier coatings have many benefits, including resistance to spillage, abrasion and damage through increasing the surface density of the concrete. This type of coating is well-suited to a variety of applications, including factory and warehouse environments.
