Premium Resin Flooring Systems
Seamless, Durable Solutions for Every Commercial Application
Why Is Resin Flooring the Ultimate Commercial Solution?
We install 50,000m² of resin flooring annually across London. The numbers tell the story. Tiled floors have 3,000 linear metres of grout per 1,000m². Vinyl has edge joints every 2 metres. Resin floors have zero joints, creating completely seamless surfaces that can't harbour bacteria or leak.
Thickness determines function. 0.15mm seal coats protect concrete in light traffic areas. 3mm systems handle standard warehouse operations. 6-9mm builds withstand 10-tonne forklifts turning on the spot. Each increase in thickness adds specific performance characteristics matched to operational demands.
Healthcare flooring facilities switched from vinyl to resin for measurable reasons. Bacterial counts drop 95% compared to grouted surfaces. Maintenance time reduces by 40% without stripping and waxing. Our hospital flooring installations in NHS facilities from 2012 still exceed hygiene standards after millions of footfalls. The seamless cove base eliminates the wall-floor junction where 70% of contamination typically accumulates.
Resin Flooring System Options
How Do Different Resin Types Solve Specific Problems?
Epoxy creates surfaces harder than concrete at 80 N/mm² compressive strength. The cross-linked polymer structure resists concentrated acids for 30 days without degradation. Standard 100% solids epoxy costs £45-60 per m². Water-based versions allow occupied installation at £35-45. Novolac epoxy handles 98% sulphuric acid but costs £75-90 per m².
Polyurethane flexes where epoxy cracks. Tests show 3mm deflection per metre without failure. Steam at 120°C causes zero delamination after 1,000 cycles. Workers standing 8 hours report 40% less fatigue on 6mm polyurethane versus concrete. Cold stores at -30°C maintain full adhesion where epoxy fails within weeks.
MMA cures faster than any alternative. At 20°C, walk-on strength develops in 60 minutes. Even at -30°C, full cure completes within 2 hours using initiator adjustment. Retail stores install 1,000m² overnight, opening for morning trade. The £90-110 per m² cost recovers through avoided closure losses.
What Performance Standards Can Resin Floors Achieve?
Laboratory testing confirms specific performance metrics. Compressive strength reaches 80 N/mm² - concrete typically achieves 40 N/mm². Flexural tests show 30 N/mm² before failure. Taber abrasion removes just 0.05mm per 1,000 cycles with H-22 wheels. A 3mm floor handles 20 years of forklift traffic before requiring recoating.
pH resistance spans 2 to 14 across our range. Standard epoxy handles pH 3-11 continuously. Novolac formulations resist concentrated hydrochloric acid at pH 0. Temperature stability maintains from -40°C blast freezing to 120°C steam jets. Each system datasheet specifies exact chemical compatibility for 200+ substances.
Water absorption tests show 0.08% uptake after 7-day immersion. Bacteria cannot penetrate beyond 0.01mm surface depth. Silver ion additives at 1% loading achieve 4-log reduction in E. coli within 24 hours. ATP testing post-cleaning shows counts below 10 RLU, meeting pharmaceutical clean room standards.
Which Industries Benefit Most from Resin Flooring?
NHS specifications require slip resistance values between 36-45 PTV. Our hospital resins achieve 40 PTV consistently. Betadine stains remove with standard cleaning after 48-hour exposure. Chlorine-based disinfectants at 5,000ppm cause zero degradation. Staff walking 12-hour shifts report measurable fatigue reduction on cushioned 4mm systems versus standard vinyl.
Electronics manufacturers specify resistance below 10⁸ ohms for ESD protection. Our conductive resins achieve 10⁴-10⁶ ohms reliably. BMW facilities require resistance to brake fluid, engine oil, and battery acid simultaneously. Pharmaceutical plants need validated cleanroom surfaces meeting ISO 14644-1 Class 5. Each sector demands specific performance we deliver through formulation selection.
Schools see 30-year lifecycles from properly specified resin. Science labs with 3mm chemical-resistant systems handle daily acid spills without damage. Sports halls with 4mm cushioned polyurethane show force reduction values of 35%, preventing injuries. Main corridors receiving 5,000 daily footfalls maintain appearance for 15+ years with basic cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
500m² installations follow predictable timelines. Day 1: surface preparation and repairs. Day 2: primer application. Days 3-4: base coat and topcoat. Day 5: line marking and final inspection. MMA systems compress this to 24 hours total. Standard epoxy reaches 60% strength at 24 hours, 80% at 48 hours, full cure by day 7.
Concrete moisture above 5% causes epoxy failure within months. We test using calcium chloride showing pounds per 1,000 sq ft per 24 hours. Readings above 3 pounds require intervention. Moisture-tolerant primers handle 6% content. Two-part epoxy DPM systems create barriers up to 95% RH. Ground floor slabs often need membrane installation adding £15-20 per m² but preventing total failure.
Daily maintenance takes 5 minutes per 100m². Neutral pH cleaners at 1:50 dilution remove standard soiling. Quarterly machine scrubbing with red pads removes embedded dirt. Annual costs average £2 per m² versus £8 for waxed vinyl. Forklift aisles show 0.2mm wear annually. Recoating at year 10 adds another 15 years life for 30% of original cost.
Polished concrete costs £25-40 per m² but remains porous with 8-12% absorption. Spilled oil penetrates within minutes. Acids etch the surface permanently. Resin at £45-85 per m² achieves 0.1% absorption. Chemical spills bead on the surface for hours. Acoustic tests show 5dB noise reduction versus polished concrete. Thermal conductivity is 40% lower, reducing heating costs.
Solvent-free resins emit under 50g/m² VOCs during installation. Compare this to 500g/m² from solvent-based systems a decade ago. Twenty-year lifecycles mean 75% less material consumption than 5-year vinyl replacement cycles. Recycled glass aggregate at 2kg/m² diverts waste from landfill. Energy use during installation totals 2.5kWh/m², recovering through reduced cleaning energy within 18 months.
