Reducing risk in a business is essential for maintaining good health and safety standards for the company, its customers, and its employees.
Resin flooring offers several risk-reducing benefits for several types of businesses:
Reducing slips and falls – resin flooring can be specifically designed to be slip-resistant, reducing the risk of slips and falls in the workplace. Our slip-resistant resin surfaces are often created with epoxy resin and quartz or silica, providing slip-resistant properties. We would recommend a product such as Ucrete DP . Slip-resistant resin flooring is commonly used in commercial kitchens, food manufacturing breweries and other industrial environments with a risk of spillage or moisture. It is also popular in public places, including hospitals, schools, and airports, where safety is a top concern.
Durable and safe flooring with low maintenance needs – resin flooring is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. This means it can withstand heavy foot traffic, vehicular traffic, and the movement of heavy equipment, reducing the risk of damage to the floor and the need for regular repairs. Durable resin flooring surfaces typically comprise two or more types of epoxy or polyurethane resin with a hardener to create a chemical reaction to form a solid and long-lasting bond. We would recommend a product such as Pumadur SL by Resdev. As well as being colour customisable, it is often used in high-traffic areas such as commercial buildings, warehouses, and factories.
Improving hygiene – resin flooring can be installed with a seamless finish, making it easy to clean and maintain. This reduces the risk of bacteria and other contaminants, which can create a health hazard. Hygienic resin flooring generally combines epoxy or polyurethane resins to create a durable, seamless surface that is easy to clean and maintain. We would recommend a product such as Mastertop 1300 series by MBCC Group. Hygienic resin flooring is often used in hospitals, labs, and food manufacturing, where cleanliness is a top priority.
Reducing chemical damage and fire risk – resin flooring is highly chemical resistant and can withstand exposure to various substances and heat. Chemical and fire-resistant resin flooring is often created using epoxy, polyurethane, and vinyl ester resins. Its application will depend on the level of fire risk required and the types of chemicals or substances present. We would recommend a product such as Altrocrete 8mm Slip resistant. This type of flooring is most used in industrial and commercial settings where there is a risk of spillage or fire, including warehouses, factories, and chemical processing plants. It is also suitable for electrical and boiler rooms and storing flammable liquids.
