If your light industrial, commercial, or retail space looking a little worse for wear, you may be wondering if industrial resin flooring is suitable for such a high-traffic environment.
But is there a FeRFA resin flooring that is suitable for your light industrial or commercial space?
But is there a FeRFA resin flooring that is suitable for your light industrial or commercial space?
Before you can choose a suitable flooring, each space should be assessed against the FeRFA Guide to the Selection of Synthetic Resin Flooring, to ensure the most appropriate system is chosen.
This checklist includes considerations such as:
The outcome of this checklist for space will determine which type of commercial or light industrial flooring materials are suitable for your space.
Depending on the type of space you have, different resin flooring products are required to create a safe, long-lasting environment for users.
Choosing the wrong resin flooring can result in a slippery floor that does not stand up to UV rays and adverse weather conditions, and wears out quickly – not ideal for any light industrial or commercial premises.
When finishing internal spaces, chances are you won’t have to worry about high levels of temperature resistance as they are unlikely to be exposed to vastly high or low temperatures.
However, your industrial flooring will still need to have:
So, which FeRFA industrial resin might be best for you?
A system based on multiple layers of solvent-free floor coatings applied with a roller, squeegees, or spray.
Benefits of FeRFA Type 3 industrial resin floorings include:
An aggregate-dressed system – based on multiple layers of floor coatings or flow-applied floorings – is frequently referred to as a sandwich system.
Benefits of FeRFA Type 4 industrial resin floorings include:
External decks are routinely exposed to sunlight and the weather, so resistance to these factors will be especially important. Similarly, slip resistance in adverse weather conditions is also incredibly important, as vehicles and people will be accessing the space in all weather.
So, which FeRFA industrial resin is best for external commercial or light industrial spaces?
This self-levelling system may incorporate a surface seal to minimise porosity, which, can have a good lifespan if maintained regularly.
Benefits of FeRFA Type 5 industrial resin floorings include:
Type 5 resin flooring is recommended for areas where chemical exposure is likely as it features very good resistance – for store rooms where chemicals are kept before sale, etc.
Areas of special consideration include features that can be both internal and external and therefore need specialist flooring to keep individuals safe while extending the lifetime of the flooring.
As such, areas of special consideration may need to be hard-wearing, resistant to UV, adverse weather, and chemical spills, and have a low slip resistance.
So, which FeRFA industrial resin is best for areas of special consideration?
This aggregate-filled system is designed for very heavy-duty environments and is virtually impervious. The textured surface is also ideal for reducing slip potential.
Benefits of FeRFA Type 8 industrial resin floorings include:
