Why Resinous Flooring Works Well in Commercial and Industrial Facilities
Posted Apr 17, 2023 by Dave Scaturro
Key Takeaways
- Resinous flooring provides a seamless surface that holds up well in commercial and industrial environments exposed to traffic, impact, chemicals, and regular cleaning.
- Its non-porous finish makes it easier to clean and helps reduce places where moisture, bacteria, mildew, or mold can collect.
- Resinous flooring can also perform well in environments with temperature swings, which makes it a practical option for demanding facilities.
There are a number of things to consider when choosing a flooring system for your commercial or industrial space. Resinous flooring, sometimes referred to as epoxy flooring, is a great option for many businesses, including restaurants, supermarkets, and food and beverage manufacturing facilities for its seamless coat, durability, slip resistance, and flexibility under stress.
Resinous flooring is a layered flooring system that is created by applying a base of resinous material to concrete which creates a smooth, non-porous flooring surface. Plus, it can be customized to meet the aesthetic and functional demands of a space. Below are a few reasons to consider resinous flooring for your commercial or industrial space:
Durability
The seamless, non-porous nature of resinous flooring makes it significantly more durable and longer-lasting than other flooring system options. It’s able to stand up to hard daily wear and tear from things like impact, high traffic, chemicals, and cleaning compounds.
Easy to Clean
Due to the seamless pour, resinous flooring systems are extremely easy to clean and require less maintenance over time than alternative options like tile or dairy brick. Given there are very few cracks and crevices, resinous flooring does not as easily allow for moisture buildup, which means fewer areas where bacteria, mildew, or mold could settle in.
Temperature Resistant
Resinous flooring is able to withstand considerable and consistent temperature shifts, including heating elements, steam, and washdowns. Temperature changes can range from 150 degrees Fahrenheit up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit with heat-resistant epoxy.
