The UK’s leading resin flooring specialist

Manufacturing Plant Flooring

The right manufacturing plant flooring is the foundation of a productive business operation. Worn-out floors lead to a domino effect of problems – costly repairs, safety hazards, and lost efficiency. Here at Impact Flooring, we understand these challenges. We provide tailored solutions that go beyond simply covering your floor. Our expert-designed flooring solutions maximise your facility’s performance, longevity, and safety, creating a space that empowers your team to excel.

Benefits of Resin and Epoxy Flooring in Manufacturing Plants

Unmatched Durability:

Resin floors are engineered to last. They withstand the constant wear and tear caused by heavy foot traffic, forklifts, pallet jacks, dropped tools, and machinery vibrations. This feature minimises the need for frequent repairs or replacements, saving you significant costs over time.

Epoxy Flooring Versus Polyurethane Flooring

Impervious to Spills:

Oils, greases, solvents, and many harsh industrial chemicals bead up on the surface of resin floors. Spills are easily wiped away without leaving stains or compromising the floor’s integrity, keeping your manufacturing plant clean and safe.

Minimal Maintenance:

Unlike porous surfaces like concrete, resin and epoxy floors don’t require sealing or waxing. Their seamless, non-porous finish makes cleaning a breeze. Routine sweeping and occasional mopping is often all that’s needed, reducing labour costs and keeping your facility looking professional.

Safety-First Design:

Choose from a range of slip-resistant textures to prevent slips and falls, even in wet or oily conditions. Additionally, resin allows for the creation of highly visible demarcation lines, designating walkways, work zones, and hazard areas – promoting organisation and safety throughout your plant.

Tailored to Your Needs:

Whether you face extreme temperatures, heavy impact, constant chemical exposure, or a combination of challenges, there’s a resin flooring system designed to excel in your specific environment. We’ll help you choose the ideal solution for maximising both performance and longevity.

Types of Flooring Solutions for Manufacturing Environments

Epoxy:

The go-to choice for areas demanding exceptional durability, abrasion, and chemical resistance. Epoxy floors withstand heavy traffic, impacts, and frequent exposure to harsh industrial chemicals. They are ideal for demanding areas within factories, warehouses, and workshops.

Polyurethane:

Offers similar benefits to epoxy but with increased flexibility and resistance to thermal shock. This makes polyurethane floors ideal for manufacturing environments subject to significant temperature fluctuations, such as food processing facilities with hot washdowns or outdoor loading zones.

MMA (Methyl Methacrylate):

Types of Flooring Solutions for Manufacturing Environments

Selecting the optimal flooring solution for your manufacturing plant requires careful consideration of several vital factors. Here are some crucial aspects to evaluate before making your decision:

Traffic Considerations:

Volume: How much foot and vehicle traffic will the floor experience? High-traffic areas require a more robust solution than low-traffic storage spaces.

Type of Traffic: Will the floor handle forklifts, pallet jacks, heavy machinery, or primarily pedestrian traffic? Consider the weight loads and potential impact forces.

Chemical Exposure:

Identify Chemicals: What specific chemicals are used or stored in your facility? Ensure the chosen flooring is resistant to those chemicals to prevent degradation and maintain a safe environment.

Spill Potential: Assess the likelihood and frequency of spills. A seamless, easy-to-clean surface is essential for areas prone to spills.

Temperature Conditions:

Ambient Temperature: Is your facility climate-controlled, or does it experience significant temperature fluctuations?

Heat Exposure: Will the floor be exposed to extreme heat, such as from ovens or furnaces? Consider the thermal shock resistance of the flooring options.

Additional Considerations Beyond Core Needs:

Slip Resistance: Safety is paramount. Select a floor with a non-slip texture appropriate for your manufacturing environment.

Aesthetics and Branding: Flooring affects your facility’s overall appearance. Consider colours, finishes, and the potential for incorporating your company logo or branding elements.

Maintenance Requirements: Evaluate the ease of cleaning and ongoing maintenance needs for each flooring option. Consider factors like labour costs and downtime for cleaning procedures.

Installation Time: How quickly do you need the new flooring installed? Rapid-cure options like MMA might be ideal for minimising downtime.

Budget: While cost is a factor, remember that the right flooring is an investment. Consider the long-term value proposition, including durability, maintenance needs, and potential replacement costs down the line.

Expert Guidance: Our team of flooring specialists is here to help navigate these considerations and recommend the ideal flooring solution for your specific needs and budget. We’ll work with you to ensure your chosen floor maximises performance, safety, and return on investment in your manufacturing environment.
