Industrial flooring comes in several different forms. There is a broad variety of choices within this category, each with their own attributes and propriety for specific applications. The best type of industrial flooring depends upon the intended use and the environment in which it will be placed. Here are some examples of the types available and what settings they may work the best in.
Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy flooring is durable and long lasting flooring which is specially formulated to hold up under harsh conditions and high foot traffic. It comes in a variety of colors and designs and is suitable for use in practically any area of residential or commercial use. It is resistant to damage from impacts, chemical spills and high foot traffic. It does well in conditions of extreme temperature fluctuations and maintains its aesthetic value due to its ability to resist color fading. Epoxy floor coating is useful for treating damaged or unsightly floors because it may be applied in thick coats which fill small cracks and chips, resulting in a strong and durable finish.
Polyurethane Flooring
Polyurethane flooring is as durable as epoxy with the additional benefit of holding up better under constant exposure to sunlight and inclement weather conditions. However, it does not perform as well when applied as a coating in filling cracks and chips in concrete flooring. Polyurethane flooring is highly resistant to impacts, chemical spills and high amounts of pedestrian foot traffic.
Industrial flooring of high quality grade is specifically formulated to be durable and long lasting. Using this type of flooring helps to cut down on the amount of maintenance which is needed to maintain a highly functional and aesthetically pleasing surface. Special additives may be included to increase the safety of the flooring with nonskid qualities which lessen the potential for slips and falls. This type of flooring also provides a barrier to water damage for areas which are subject to the effects of moisture or high humidity.
