RESIN SCREEDS VS. RESIN COATINGS – OPTIMISING YOUR FLOORING SOLUTION
When considering resin flooring options, understanding the differences between resin screeds and resin coatings is crucial. At Monarch Resin Floors, we provide expert advice and on-site surveys to ensure the best flooring solution for your needs.
RESIN SCREEDS:
Resin screeds offer exceptional durability, typically laid at 6mm thickness. As a result this makes it an ideal flooring type for demanding environments like industrial and healthcare facilities. While they may require more material and skilled installation, their longevity and ability to cover uneven surfaces make them a preferred choice.
Key Advantages:
Highly durable
Easy to clean and hygienic
Decorative options available
Suitable for uneven floors
High chemical resistance
Featured product: Monarquartz
Monarquartzpresents a decorative and durable resin screed, customisable to unique designs and available in flexible grades for varied substrates.
RESIN COATINGS:
Resin coatings offer a cost-effective and efficient flooring solution, applied with ease using rollers. With thickness as low as 3mm, they provide durability, versatility, and rapid installation, making them ideal for busy industrial settings. Monarquartz is easy to clean and sanitise. This can be a key factor when looking for a floor within the food and beverage industry such as production and packaging areas as well as more commercial settings. This epoxy resin can be used as both an indoor and exterior resin floor, another reason why it can be found in restaurants and other commercial premises as it makes for a decorative outside seating area.
Key Advantages:
Quick and easy to lay
Durable and hygienic
Anti-slip properties
Versatile for various applications
