What is Resin Flooring?

A Resin Floor is an extremely tough and durable plastic floor coating created by mixing a synthetic resin and a hardener component.

A range of ingredients can be added such as colour pigments, aggregates and decorative flakes to form thicker, tougher or non-slip surfaces bespoke to the environment it will be installed in. Thicker floors will cure to be harder than concrete.

Need a professional finish?

For industrial and commercial environments where a professional finish is required the flooring is normally installed by specialist resin flooring contractors like UltraSyntec. The paint is applied by roller/squeegee when coating is required and by trowel application for a thicker screed.

Screeds are normally seamless and can incorporate coved skirting which is vital where a hygienic surface is required, particularly in food processing.

Non-taint (solvent free) systems are available and slip/skid surfaces can be installed to comply with British Standards.

Other features of this type of flooring include high impact resistance, cleanability, the elimination of dust and a range of attractive colours and decorative finishes. For resin flooring in the UK talk to UltraSyntec about your next project.
