What Different Types of Industrial Flooring are There?
At Impact Flooring, we offer an expansive array of industrial flooring alternatives. If you know which option is right for your premises it will save you time and save you money as well.
In this article, we take a look at the best industrial flooring types and which environment they are most appropriate for. Sometimes, the selection of industrial flooring is based on personal preference. Obviously, though, there are circumstances in which perhaps one or two flooring options are a much better fit than others.
Most Popular Industrial Flooring Types
Industrial Concrete Flooring
Industrial concrete flooring represents the world’s most widely utilised concrete flooring. Concrete flooring is commonly found in multi-storey car parks, in road construction, and in walkways. It’s an extremely durable substance and is able to stand up to constant pressure.
Floors of this nature may either be built-in suspended format or on grade. Typically, suspended floors will be built atop metal decking, the decking being corrugated sheet metal that has a structural steel support framework.
Polished Concrete Flooring
Recognised for its excellent durability and attractive appearance, polished concrete flooring is becoming an increasingly popular choice. It’s a flooring that is frequently seen in restaurants, art galleries, and various other commercial properties. Nevertheless, because of its sheer versatility and the options it has for different designs (for example, acid staining), it’s also now used for residential building construction.
On account of its durability and attractive look, polished concrete flooring has now become a popular alternative to various other options like hardwood and carpet.
Commercial Concrete
Commercial concrete was and still is used as a way of lining commercial properties such as department stores, warehouses, and restaurants. It provides a hard-wearing surface which calls for little maintenance and it is highly customisable.
For the most part, commercial concrete flooring will come with a slip-resistant aggregate included. You’re at liberty to customise various design elements, for example, you can ask for acid staining and decals.
Epoxy Flooring
For industrial workplaces, epoxy flooring is a very popular choice. It’s a commonly selected surface because of its versatility and durability.
Epoxy flooring is not the same as epoxy floor coating. Epoxy flooring is a combination of strong epoxy. Epoxy floor coating, on the other hand, is just a single layer. Because of this, epoxy flooring can withstand persistent, heavy traffic. This flooring is easily cleaned and simple to maintain, which means it’s ideal for any type of property.
Vinyl Flooring
Relatively new as a form of industrial flooring, vinyl flooring is now mass-produced worldwide. For those that are on a tight budget, it’s a good option since it’s particularly cost-effective. Vinyl flooring is also easy to maintain, slip-resistant, and comfortable underfoot.
Selecting the appropriate industrial flooring is dependent on various factors, including practicality, cost, and overall appearance. If you get in touch with one of our team at Impact Flooring we’ll help you in making the right choice that suits your property best.
