Product Benefits
HACCP and Hygiene
Proving that a building is able to meet a high standard of hygiene is essential in many sectors, especially contamination sensitive settings such as the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and electronics industries.
Antimicrobial/ISO 22196
Today’s intense focus on sanitation standards and cleanliness means that hygiene has to be factored into the very fabric of a building.
Safety/Anti-Slip
Slip resistant flooring is a health and safety must-have for most industrial and commercial facilities, as otherwise it’s only a matter of time until a member of staff or customer suffers a painful and costly accident.
Fast Cure/Drying
The long downtime periods and snail’s pace construction schedules caused by waiting for a floor to fully cure can be consigned to the past thanks to the Flowfast range of methyl methacrylate (MMA) enhanced floors.
Sustainability
Flowcrete UK is committed to providing environmentally friendly flooring solutions that have been sustainably sourced, manufactured and distributed. This includes incorporating recycled material into the floors, as well as limiting or completely removing toxic substances such as volatile organic compounds and phthalates.
Hard Wearing
Robust resin floors can be specified that are able to withstand even the most intense and challenging industrial environments. This means maintaining a seamless, high performance finish in the face of everything from heavy impacts, frequent cleaning, thermal shock and large pieces of equipment to the movement of commercial airliners and 60 tonne dump trucks.
Refurbishment
Flooring refurbishment projects require solutions that are going to revitalise the floor finish but which won’t incur long periods of problematic and unprofitable down time.
Aesthetics
Choosing a high performance floor doesn’t mean sacrificing aesthetics for functionality. Flowcrete’s decorative flooring systems combine contemporary style with world-class quality to provide seamless surfaces that can maintain a visual impact despite intense working conditions.
Efficient Heating
Incorporating underfloor heating within the floor build up can help to make a building more efficient, sustainable and can even provide significant space-saving benefits.
Anti-static
Electro-static discharge (ESD) can pose a threat to sensitive electronic equipment, and in environments that handle volatile gases, powders, liquids or other substances it can even be a potentially dangerous ignition source. This charge can quickly build up within a floor when subjected to regular traffic from people and wheeled equipment.
Anti-Corrosion
Parts of a plant likely to undergo frequent and severe chemical exposure, such as primary and secondary containment areas, need to ensure that the surfaces and structures are protected against the corrosive effects of the substances on-site.
Chemical Resistance
Flowcrete UK’s chemical resistant coatings can maintain a seamless, high quality finish for an extended period of time despite contact with even the most caustic of solvents, acids and alkalis. Specific sectors can even specify floors tailored to meet the common chemicals used in that industry, for example aircraft hangars can install a surface that won’t be damaged by aviation hydraulic fluid.
Low Temperature Installation
The practicalities of many types of buildings or of some construction projects will mean that the floor is going to have to be installed at temperatures either approaching or below freezing point. This is often the case in large warehouses, cold storage rooms or locations exposed to the elements like car parks, where it is either not desirable of even possible to raise the temperature of the site.
Low Odour
Facilities managers and site operators may have been put off high performance polymer floors in the past due to the odour generated during the chemical curing process.
Moisture Tolerant
Moisture can be a problematic flooring factor for several reasons and unless the substrate, application process and the future use of the site are properly analysed it can easily bring on an early floor failure.
New Build
Choosing floors for a new development can throw up a lot of questions and challenges. What does the floor need to look like? How can I make sure it withstands conditions on-site? What if it can’t be installed in time? How can I reduce the thickness and weight of the floor?
UV/Weather Resistant
Long term exposure to the elements can wear away mountains and erode rock – so imagine what it could do to an unprotected floor finish! Wind, rain and ice can all eat into a floor finish while UV rays are notorious for discolouring previously bright and vibrant surfaces.
Temperature Resistant
The floor area can be very sensitive to changes in temperature, whether its excessively high, below freezing, very sudden or over a long period of time.
