Warehouse flooring is mainly aimed at floors which are in an industrial setting and may need a coating which is heavy duty or non slip. This is usually a large area of flooring which has racking, machinery or has the use of fork lift trucks and other vehicles.
When installing an epoxy resin floor to a warehouse or a large industrial setting there are a few key points to focus on. Firstly is how hard wearing the floor needs to be. We install flooring within warehouses which is extremely durable against heavy use. This can either be as an epoxy coating system or as a resin screed.
Secondly you need to consider the properties of your warehouse flooring system. This is whether the floor needs an element of grip, such as non sip or anti slip systems. Or you could need certain level of chemical resistance depending on what you are using / storing in the warehouse.
We install warehouse flooring using resin materials across the UK. We have offices in Derbyshire, Lancashire, Leicestershire and South Yorkshire. But we have installed warehouse flooring in Leeds, Bradford, Hull, Birmingham and across all of the UK.

As well as harsh conditions, warehouses are often subject to restrictive health and safety requirements. For a lot of warehouses, they will improve on health and safety, organisation and production by adhering to a 5S system. You can read through the definition of the 5S system here.
Resin demarcation and line marking can help implement these 5S safety and organisation methods in the following ways;
The 5S System has five categories in which resin demarcation and line marking can be applied. These are sort, set in order, shine, standardise and sustain/self-discipline.
The organisation of a warehouse is a key factor in production. Having high levels of organisation can make a huge difference in the way a warehouse operates. Efficiency can be improved by adding demarcation and resin lines to outline the different areas of a warehouse. Having an organised system for storing goods means that workers will be able to find the products they need more efficiently. For example bay lines and racnking locations can be applied to the floor using resin paint.
Arranging warehouses to show clear areas of work increases the health and safety as well as organisation. It can also aid in keeping a warehouse clean and tidy by having assigned spaces for materials. Furthermore, this can also improve logistics as keeping stock restricted to one area makes it easier to find or put away when needed.
Keeping an area clean and clear from debris can also add to a warehouse structure. This is because accidents will be less likely to happen if areas are clear from trip hazards which may occur. Furthermore, it means that the warehouse has high standards of cleanliness which is a more pleasant setting to work in. This can be achieved using hatched boxes to keep areas clear and line marking to show routes to waste management points.
Using symbols, wording and numbers out of resin will help let workers keep everything where it should be. For an example, in a warehouse with machinery, a bay reserved to store and charge a forklift may be outlined in resin.
This system is to do with the workers themselves, however by having a resin system in place which adheres to the 5S system, it is easier to identify areas of improvement.
As well as this, the durability of a resin flooring system means it has excellent abrasion and impact resistance. A concrete system will become easily damaged by constant use by vehicles and pedestrian traffic. In contrast, resin systems can provide a durable surface, dependant on the thickness or product and type of resin.
Another factor which may affect the decision in choosing a warehouse resin flooring system is its slip resistance. Warehouses often have heavy machinery and pedestrian traffic. This is why it is vital to have the proper grip with a floor. Adding an aggregate to a resin system can increase the slip-resistant properties thus creating a safer surface for workers and vehicles. For example, a roller door open for deliveries on a rainy day can let in a lot of water around the entrance, this can become slippery for forklifts to go on. Because of the added grip, a slip-resistant flooring system can help the forklift not spin out on wet floors. This is obviously not as a guarantee, but grip will help in these situations. Our anti-slip resin flooring page gives more insight into this.
Monarcoat 700 is an epoxy resin coating used where a fast-cure is required in an industrial environment. It provides an attractive, dust-free, chemical and abrasion resistant floor coating. It is based on a blend of epoxy resins, mineral fillers and solvents.
Monarcoat 700 is well suited to forming lines/zebra crossings and chevrons, to mark hazardous areas, denote pedestrian walkways and line marking. As well as this, Monarcoat 700 can be loaded with high pigment levels to produce white and safety yellow colours without opacity problems. Due to its fast-cure properties, areas and lines can be marked out and coated, and be re-coated within a few hours.
In instances where a heavy duty resin product is installed in a warehouse, Monargrip is one of the leading epoxy resin products.
Monargrip is an epoxy resin flooring system that has excellent levels of slip resistance in the wettest of areas. Moreover, it is ideal for any areas where outstanding levels of slip resistance is needed in the floor. Monargrip is based on a blend of epoxy resins and quartz aggregates, and is available in a wide range of colour choices and slip resistance grades.
Within a warehouse floor, the slip resistance is key to health and safety. As well as this, the many colour options mean that you can section out areas of the warehouse. You can also create gangways using the resin so that it is clear what spaces are meant to be for using vehicles / walking or kept clear.
In conclusion, when seeking a flooring system for a warehouse resin is ideal for many different settings. Resin systems are a durable and versatile solution when it comes to warehouse floors.
Furthermore, the epoxy resin system Monargrip which we install UK wide has excellent slip resistant properties. A warehouse resin flooring system can also be customised to a wide variety of colours to suit each client.
Warehouse resin flooring may also aid in the 5S system by including demarcation and line marking in warehouses. This method can create areas which are kept clear using hatched lines and wording. As well as this, numbers or symbols can be added to aid in organisation. This is achieved by labelling aisles and certain areas in warehouses to make it more easy to find products. Furthermore, the different resin colours can be used to mark out areas for different use, safe walkways for pedestrians, clearly mark exists and entrances, create areas for machinery only and so on.
