Types of resin flooring
Highly experienced specialists install various resin systems on industrial concrete flooring. The type of resin flooring depends on the specific features of the environment in which it is to be installed.
The variety of options available provides solutions for a wide range of applications, ensuring durability, strength and customizable aesthetics.
Anti-dust treatment
As industrial concrete floors are prone to dusting and residue formation, our protective anti-dust, anti-wear and anti-oil treatment is the right solution to provide resistance to dirt, abrasion, oils and greases.
Multilayer resin coating
Multilayer flooring for industry consists of preparation of the surface through shot peening and/or sanding and application of multilayer resin coating, alternating the laying of resin with the insertion of quartz aggregates of different grain size. Multilayer flooring systems provide strength with a reduced protective thickness.
Self-leveling coating
The epoxy self-leveling coating offers a seamless finish or anti-slip floors, giving the surface wear, mechanical and chemical resistance. It is suitable for the food industry and will contribute to LEED points.
Epoxy Resin Flooring
Epoxy resins are known for their extreme hardness and chemical resistance. They are suitable for industrial facilities as they can withstand heavy traffic. Here are some of their main features:
- High Strength: Epoxy resin creates a very hard, scratch-resistant surface, making it ideal for industrial facilities where heavy stresses can occur.
- Chemical Resistance: Epoxy flooring can withstand a wide range of chemicals, including aggressive acids and solvents.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Despite their hardness, epoxy flooring can be customized with a wide range of colors and finishes to suit different architectural styles.
Polyurethane Resin Flooring
Polyurethane resin offers a mixture of strength and flexibility. Suitable for both commercial and residential environments, its features include:
-
Flexibility: Polyurethane resin is more elastic than epoxy, making it less prone to cracking caused by structural deformation.
-
Wear Resistance: These floors are highly resistant to everyday wear and tear, making them ideal for offices, stores and transit areas.
-
Ease of Cleaning: The smooth surface does not accumulate dirt and stains, making the cleaning process easier.
Decorative Resin Floors
For residential and commercial applications, decorative resin floors allow for a wide range of aesthetic customizations. These floors can incorporate custom colors, logos or designs for a unique visual impact.
Resin floor systems for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry
Resin systems for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry need to be functional and durable. Our certified coatings meet the industry-specific standards and are resistant to wear, abrasion, impact and mechanical stress, with good chemical resistance properties.
Benefits and Features of Resin Flooring
Resin flooring is a modern and stylish product, easy and quick to install. Resin flooring is completely smooth, seamless and easy to clean and sanitize. In addition, its waterproofing properties make it very hygienic and also ideal for wet environments. It can be applied directly to current tiles with a minimum thickness (hardly more than 3 mm). Resin flooring is also compatible with underfloor heating systems and is easy to maintain, as it adapts to all kinds of environments. Versatile, practical, quick to install, water-resistant and hygienic, resin flooring is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a versatile and decorative system that can fit their needs, providing excellent value for money in durability.
Strength and Resistance to External Agents
One of the main characteristics of resin floors is their strength. Being extremely resistant to wear, scratches and stains, they are suitable for facilities subject to mechanical stress, as they can withstand heavy traffic. In addition, they are resistant to harsh weather, so they can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Aesthetic Versatility
Versatility is another strength of resin floors. Resin can be customized in terms of color, finish, and pattern, making it possible to create floors that blend seamlessly with the design and style of their surroundings. Smooth, monolithic surfaces can be created or decorative elements can be added for a unique touch.
Slip Resistance and Safety
Resin floors can be treated to make them slip-resistant, improving safety in environments where fall hazards are a serious concern. This makes them suitable for areas such as bathrooms, swimming pools and industrial facilities where it is important to minimize the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
Thermal Conduction
Resin floors are perfect for radiant heating, since the material absorbs heat well and releases it slowly. This not only provides uniform thermal comfort, but can also contribute to energy saving.
Joint-Free Surface
Because resin floors are applied as one continuous surface, they eliminate seams, joints, grout lines and gaps which can become breeding sites for bacteria.
Resistance to Chemical Agents
Resin floors are known for their resistance to chemical agents. This feature makes them suitable for industrial environments where accidental spills of corrosive chemicals can occur.
Ease of Cleaning
The smooth, continuous surface of resin flooring makes cleaning extremely easy. Just use mild detergents and water to keep it clean and in perfect condition.
Long-Term Investment
Despite a potentially higher initial cost than other options, resin floors offer significant long-term savings due to their durability and reduced maintenance costs.
Importance of perfect installation
In order to create durable, safe, and aesthetically attractive floors, it is crucial to prepare the surface properly before applying the coating. A perfect installation not only extends the lifespan of the flooring, but also its safety and look. This is why ensuring flawless installation is essential.
Avoid Visible Defects
Inaccurate installation can lead to visible defects on the floor surface, such as air bubbles, cracks, or changes in texture. These defects compromise the aesthetic appearance and may result in signs of damage over time.
Ensure Resistance to Chemical Agents
In industrial or commercial facilities where aggressive chemicals are present, careful installation is essential. Inaccurate installation may create seams or cracks that allow chemicals to penetrate the floor, compromising its chemical resistance.
Reduce the Risk of Accidents
Uneven floor surfaces may cause a person to trip and fall, resulting in serious injury. Safety is crucial in facilities such as hospitals, laboratories or industrial areas.
Save on Maintenance Costs
Thorough installation reduces the need for costly repairs and corrective maintenance over the years, leading to significant long-term savings.
