Choosing Commercial Flooring

Commercial flooring is specialist flooring that is used in many different commercial and industrial settings due its excellent qualities. Commercial flooring is commonly used in food manufacturing sites, kitchens, warehouses, healthcare and hospital settings, aviation, marine/offshore locations, engineering, retail outlets and any other locations that require a hard wearing yet attractive floor finish. Resin flooring is a very popular choice for commercial flooring applications and is ideal for areas that are subjected to heavy usage. Even forklifts trucks can operate on commercial flooring without causing any damage to the surface.

Resin flooring is used for commercial flooring because it has a high resistance to corrosive chemicals, heat and UV light and is extremely tough, durable and hardwearing. The other great advantage of resin flooring is that is has a very quick drying time so it can be laid with minimum disruption with loss of operating time being kept to a minimum. Even though commercial flooring systems offer so many practical solutions it doesn’t mean people have to compromise on the look of the flooring. Resin flooring is available in many attractive colours and designs so where look and durability are both as important as each other resin flooring is by far the best choice. The choice of finishes for commercial flooring include high gloss, textured, anti-slip, mosaic, quartz, pebble stone or smooth plain coloured commercial flooring.

The preparation needed to lay resin flooring correctly is just as important as the actual laying of the floor. Surface preparation is the key to ensuring that your floor can be laid correctly and will look perfect one it is finished. Before commercial flooring is laid the existing floor surface many need to undergo a number of treatments such as vacuum enclosed shot blasting, diamond grinding, scabbling or planing before being treated with hot compressed air. This will ensure the surface it clean, smooth and even before any commercial floor is laid.
