Car Showroom Flooring: Best Options for Dealerships

Car showroom flooring needs to be durable, visually striking, and easy to maintain, making resin flooring systems a popular choice for modern dealerships.

An auto dealer showroom with attractive resin flooring gives the impression of effortless luxury. It’s easy for customers to imagine a smooth ride in the shiny new cars on display. That’s not the only reason to plumb for resin flooring in your showroom.

Aside from its impressive, versatile good looks, there are a host of other reasons we’d like to tell you about.

Durability

Epoxy resin flooring is widely known for its durability. As such, it’s a practical choice for industrial flooring in warehouses and factories. Its good load-bearing properties and resistance to heavy pedestrian traffic make it an ideal car showroom surface too.

Toughness

Resin flooring, also called epoxy flooring, is made from bonding of two chemicals. The resulting bond is stronger than concrete and is break-resistant.

Simple resin floor consists of a formulated synthetic resin and separate hardener, added at the time that the floor is laid. Other ingredients can be added to the mix, resulting in a thicker, harder floor. The range of possible ingredients, depending on the type of floor required, include

• aggregates
• pigments
• decorative chips/flakes

Multilevel car parks, basements in hotels and apartment blocks as well as under-cover loading bays all use epoxy resin flooring. That’s proof in itself that it provides a suitable surface for vehicles that is both tough and durable.

Flexibility

Resin flooring is flexible in every sense of the word.

Its tensile strength not only enables it to bear weight but also prevents cracking of the concrete underneath. You can be sure that it will be up to the task of displaying your stock.

Safety in the Auto Dealer Showroom

Unlike marble and ceramic floors, resin flooring can include a slip-resistant layer, greatly reducing the likelihood of accidental slipping and injury.

The anti-slip layer is immediately beneath the top layer and provides support and allows for friction while walking on the floor, dragging objects across it, and movements of vehicles and other machinery.

It almost goes without saying that the safety of children and adults alike in your showroom is very important. Resin flooring gives you peace of mind!

Hygiene

Resin floors are more hygienic than any other type of flooring. The laminated layer on the top of the coating is impermeable, and therefore stain resistant.

Spillages are not absorbed by the floor, and can simply be wiped off. Epoxy resin floors are easy to clean, requiring no more than regular mopping to maintain a healthy and hygienic indoor environment. This means any dirt and tyre marks for the cars on display can be removed, leaving your showroom gleaming like a dream.

Ease of cleaning means that the pattern and shine on the floor won’t deteriorate due to heavy foot traffic, high heels, food and drink spillage. Your showroom can be kept pristine all the time, constantly giving a great impression to interested buyers of the cars on sale.

Because resin flooring is seamless, unlike ceramic tiles, there is no grouting where dirt and bacteria can collect. The beautiful appearance of the floor when new and its easy to maintain finish lasts a long, long time.

Beauty and Creativity

Resin floors are aesthetically pleasing, making it easy to use the same flooring on in the showroom as you have in the sales manager’s office.

That extra touch of class is achieved by getting creative with the wide choice of aggregates added in the resin mix. Designers can tailor the shimmer and shine that you want to achieve.

Aggregate materials that can be added to a resin terrazzo floor include:

• crystal mirror glass
• marble
• flint
• granite
• mother of pearl
• a range of pigments to achieve the colour you want.

Colour Me Corporate

A wide choice of colours enables you to decorate the interior of your showroom to match or coordinate with your corporate colours. This has a calming effect on customers and serves to add a touch of professionalism to the overall presentation of this interior space.

There are various ways to approach decorative flooring systems to achieve the distinctive look you’re after.

Cost

When you consider the long-term serviceability of resin flooring and its low maintenance, you will realise that resin flooring is an economical option.

Quick Installation

Versatility

Resin floors are versatile. If you are a property owner, choosing resin flooring can stand you in good stead.  While it is the ideal surface for a showroom, it can work equally well for other types of commercial shops and even office space.

The benefits of epoxy flooring include not having to refurbish if you wish to sell the property or lease it out to new tenants.
