We offer three main types of flooring products: epoxy, polyurethane, and polyaspartic. Epoxy is a durable coating that provides a seamless finish. Polyurethane is a flexible option that offers excellent protection. Polyaspartic is a fast-curing coating option which allows for less downtime. Each type of resin which we install has its own range of benefits and can be adapted to different resin systems as well as being versatile to different sectors.
It is important to install a product which suits the setting it is being installed in. For example, when installing a floor within a brewery, an epoxy resin would be unsuitable whereas a polyurethane would ensure longevity to the floor. There are a lot of factors which you will have to consider when choosing your flooring product. If you need any help with deciding which product would suit your setting, then please get in touch and we will be happy to give you some advice.
We install our own brand of resin products in epoxy and polyurethane form. In addition, we also install flooring solutions from other trusted manufacturers throughout the UK. This allows us to provide a wide range of options to meet the specific needs of our customers
What is epoxy resin? Epoxy resin is a material that is used to install flooring in industrial, commercial and domestic settings. It is a versatile substance and is used as a key material in many flooring systems. This includes Anti slip systems, Self levelling floors and within more Decorative finishes.
We install epoxy resin flooring throughout the UK and have over thirty years of experience. One of the most common sectors where epoxy-based systems are used is within the automotive sectors. This includes within car showrooms, workshops and garages.
Some of the main benefits of epoxy resin are its durability and hard-wearing nature. It can withstand the weight of a forklift and other machinery. It can also have constant pedestrian traffic going over it. As long as you maintain the floor and patch any repairs you need to over the years, your resin floor with be easy to manage and long lasting.

Polyurethane resin flooring is another example of hard-wearing resinous material. It has good to high levels of chemical resistance depending on the product installed and can come in self-smoothing options just like epoxy. It has many uses within industrial settings as well as commercial.
One of the main areas in which you will find a polyurethane floor system is within breweries. This is due to the chemicals which are involved in the brewing process. On a concrete surface, the chemicals will attack the floor and make it break down. Polyurethane, on the other hand, will not break down in the same way so is perfect for breweries, microbreweries and distilleries.
Like epoxy, polyurethane flooring can be self smoothing, which means it will create a more even surface on an uneven floor.
Polyurethane can also be used as a resin coved skirting. This is where a junction is created between the floor and wall. As there is no edge, dirt, oil, bacteria etc cannot get trapped. This allows for a more easy to clean and sanitise floor. Ideal in food production areas.
Take a look at the polyurethane products which we install.
Polyaspartic resin is used mainly due to its low cure time. The curing process for some resins can be up to 48 hours before even light traffic. However, with a polyaspartic this process is sped up and a floor can take light traffic from as little as two hours.
When you have a busy industrial setting, such as a factory or manufacturing plant, having downtime can effect productivity and therefore be expensive. By using a resin which is polyaspartic cuts the downtime allowing work to commence with much less interruption. An ideal choice for businesses which need a quick turnaround.
Some of the main areas which you will find polyaspartic resin is in areas which need a lot of constant access. This could be gangways, staircases, fire exits and building entrances for example. It can also we used in larger areas in situations where you prefer the floor to be completed in a quicker time frame, perhaps due to deadlines.
In summary, using Polyaspartic resin can be just what you need to get your floor completed sooner. Less downtime, without loosing the floors strength or versatility.
