Polyurethane Screed Systems

Polyurethane screed flooring offers the last word in toughness for environments which are very demanding on floor surfaces. All epoxy floor coatings share advantages such as seamless finishes and easy-to-clean smoothness, but the use of some epoxies is constrained by their limitations. These limitations can include weight bearing properties, and heat and chemical sensitivities.

 

Made for High Traffic

 

Heavy duty polyurethane screed flooring systems are the preferred solution for high traffic industrial environments. A tremendously versatile type of material, polyurethane resin floors can be used almost anywhere, from engineering workshops to facilities where food grade cleanliness is required.

 

A Hard-Wearing Solution

 

Polyurethane resin flooring systems offer greater resistance to fats, acids and other chemicals when compared to high build and self smoothing epoxy floors. But one of the properties of this system customers value most is that they can stand up to steam cleaning and pressure washing. This means areas which are regularly subjected to high volumes of waste can be quickly and thoroughly cleaned, ready for the next shift. Add to this their excellent wear, abrasion and impact resistance characteristics, self-sealing nature and natural anti-slip finish, and it’s easy to see why polyurethane screed flooring systems are among the most popular choices for our industrial customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is Resin Flooring Worth The Investment For A UK Manufacturing Facility?

 

Resin flooring can be a worthwhile investment for manufacturing facilities that need a surface capable of handling heavy use, machinery, chemicals, and regular cleaning. Systems such as polyurethane screeds provide strong resistance to impact, abrasion, and temperature changes, making them suitable for demanding production environments. Although the initial cost may be higher than some traditional flooring options, the long service life and reduced maintenance requirements can provide good value over time.

 

What Does The Polyurethane Screed Installation Process Look Like?

 

The polyurethane screed installation process begins with an assessment of the existing floor to identify any damage, contamination, or preparation requirements. The substrate is then cleaned and mechanically prepared, often through grinding or shot blasting, to create a suitable surface for adhesion. Any repairs are completed before the polyurethane screed is mixed and applied at the required thickness. Once installed, the floor is allowed to cure before final checks are completed to ensure it meets the required performance standards.

 

Is Resin Flooring Ideal For Engineering Workshops?

 

Resin flooring is well suited to engineering workshops because it can withstand many of the challenges found in these environments. Workshops often experience heavy machinery, impact from tools, oil spills, chemical exposure, and high levels of foot traffic. Polyurethane and epoxy resin systems provide a strong, easy-to-clean surface that can help maintain a safer and more organised working area.

 

Should I Consider Anti-Slip Flooring For Factories?

 

Anti-slip flooring is an important consideration for factories where floors may be exposed to water, oils, chemicals, or other substances that can increase slip risks. Resin flooring systems can include textured finishes and aggregates to improve grip in areas where additional slip resistance is needed. The right level of slip resistance depends on the activities carried out, cleaning methods, and the conditions within the facility.

 

What Clean Methods Work For Industrial Flooring?

 

The most suitable cleaning method depends on the type of industrial flooring system and the environment it is used in. Resin floors can usually be cleaned using industrial sweepers, scrubber dryers, pressure washing, or steam cleaning where the system allows it. Regular removal of dirt, oils, and spillages helps maintain the condition of the floor. Using suitable cleaning products and avoiding harsh chemicals that may damage the surface will also help extend the floor’s service life.
