When designing a factory or processing center, for example, one of the most important structural aspects to be considered is the execution of the floor; after all, the terrain must support enormous amounts of weight without structural damage.
Therefore, these facilities must have so-called industrial floors and support elements that can significantly contribute to industrial or logistical productivity.
How do industrial floors impact production?
Industrial floors are not just security elements in a facility but are a significant part of an organization’s productive efforts.
Suppose we consider, for example, that the installation of the wrong floor can compromise the speed with which the forklifts in a warehouse travel a certain distance. In that case, we can infer a loss in considerable efficiency.
For this reason, even small businesses, with few machines and reduced circulation of employees, can benefit from the installation of industrial floors.
Technical room floor – preparation
The commercial epoxy flooring will require a slightly porous, well-cleaned, and dry concrete surface for the resin to adhere well to it. Before applying the epoxy, it is important to repair any serious cracks and voids in the pavement to prevent moisture from seeping through the pavement’s underside and prevent further degradation of existing damage.
It is also very important to properly mix the resin and hardener, both when it comes to accurately measuring the proportions of both components and mixing both components. Incorrect proportions or inaccurate mixing may lead to problems with the hardening of an industrial epoxy resin floor and a reduction in its resistance properties.
Importance of industrial flooring
It was soon realized that the industrial floor has a great influence on expenses, from the investment for installation as well as the maintenance expenses due to future complications.
The choice of the type of floor to be installed in an area is defined in the project by the engineer based on the activities to be developed, and it takes into account 3 main aspects:
- Mechanical resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Desired finish
Advantages of industrial epoxy resin flooring – what do you get?
Epoxy coatings have many advantages over other traditional coatings applied to the concrete. Epoxy resin flooring is:-Durable – It perfectly copes with continuous traffic, including the movement of heavy vehicles traveling on its surface (forklifts, cars)
- It is quick and easy to install, reducing the time needed to close an industrial or commercial space for renovation.
- Durable and easy to clean.
- Resistant to oil stains, grease, and grease.
- Dyed in any color for decorative purposes or to make markings on its surface.
- Chemically resistant – making it perfect for manufacturing plants
- Non-slip – increases safety and reduces the risk of losing balance on its surface
- Resistant to rapid temperature changes
- Easy to maintain.
- Reflecting light. High gloss epoxy coatings create a glossy surface that reflects light rays enhancing visibility in commercial or industrial spaces. The brightness of an epoxy screed area can increase by 200%
