Resin Flooring
Hard-Wearing, Hygienic & Built to Last
Resin flooring is a high-performance flooring system that’s ideal for high-traffic commercial and industrial environments. It’s applied in multiple layers that bond directly to the substrate beneath, and once cured, it creates a seamless, joint-free finish that’s exceptionally tough and easy to maintain. Resin flooring withstands forklift traffic, heavy impacts, and chemical exposure. This unbeatable combination of strength, hygiene, and safety makes it an excellent investment for facilities exposed to constant wear and tear.
Why Resin Floors?
Resin flooring is the practical choice for businesses that need a reliable flooring system that can withstand years of heavy traffic, impacts, and chemical exposure without cracking or peeling.
Long-term durability
Traditional concrete floors require frequent repairs and resealing. With a service life of 15-20 years under heavy industrial use, resin flooring’s longevity is why it’s ideal for industrial and commercial environments. This longevity stems from the material’s resistance to abrasion, chemicals, thermal shock, and UV degradation.
Aesthetic appeal meets functional performance
Resin flooring is very flexible when it comes to design and aligning it with your branding or operational needs:
- Colour choice: available in virtually any RAL or BS colour to match branding or zoning requirements.
- Gloss: choose from matte, satin, or high-gloss finishes depending on visual preference and light reflectivity needs.
- Decorative flakes: coloured vinyl or quartz flakes can be incorporated into the resin for a speckled, terrazzo-like effect.
- Patterned designs: resin can be applied in layers or stencilled to create patterns, logos, or demarcation lines.
- Specialist coatings: aggregates and additives can be incorporated to create slip-resistant or anti-static flooring.
Zoning: different coloured sections or line markings can define walkways, work zones, or hazard areas.
Low maintenance
Resin floors are easy to clean and maintain. Unlike tiles or vinyl, resin floors don’t have grout lines or weak points – the seamless design and non-porous surface prevent moisture ingress, bacterial growth, and structural failure. This is ideal for sectors with strict hygiene standards (like food processing and pharmaceuticals).
The Resin Floor Installation Process
Although they’re quick to install, resin floors require careful planning and skilled execution. At Impact Flooring, every resin flooring installation starts with a detailed site survey. We assess the condition of your existing substrate, discuss your operational needs, determine the right resin system, and plan the best approach to minimise downtime.
Surface preparation involves preparing the substrate (through grinding or shot blasting) to create a suitable foundation for the resin application. This phase typically accounts for the largest portion of installation time, but is critical for its long-term performance and durability. The resin system is applied in stages – usually a primer first, followed by a base coat, and finished with a final seal or top layer (and potentially added chemical protection or slip resistance).
The types of resin flooring
Depending on your facility’s needs, different resin formulations have different curing times. At Impact Flooring, we’ll help you understand which option works best for your business:
- Epoxy resin: incredibly durable flooring that can take a beating, with excellent resistance to abrasion, heavy impact, and chemicals.
- Polyurethane resin: ideal for food processing plants, cold storage, and commercial kitchens where hot water washes, steam cleaning, or rapid temperature fluctuations are common.
- Methyl Methacrylate (MMA): rapid cure time makes it invaluable for time-sensitive projects that can’t afford extended shutdowns (retail, food production, and other commercial settings that need a fast turnaround).
How Fast Can Resin Flooring Be Installed?
With proper planning, many resin flooring projects can be completed in days rather than weeks, allowing you to resume normal operations quickly. The speed of resin flooring application is why it’s the popular choice for industrial and commercial spaces.
Factors That Affect Installation Time
- The size and complexity of the space: Open-plan warehouses are quicker than multi-room facilities with intricate layouts.
- Temperature and humidity: Environmental conditions matter. High humidity levels or low temperatures can slow down the curing process.
- The condition of the existing substrate: If extensive repairs or levelling are needed, this can add prep time.
- Special features: Coved skirting, floor slopes, and integrated drainage can be incorporated for a hygienic, fully watertight finish in wet or washdown areas.
- Thickness of the resin floor system: Thicker applications (10mm+) for heavy-duty industrial settings generally require longer curing periods than thinner coatings (2mm+).
- The type of resin: Fast-curing systems, such as MMA, can set in a few hours, allowing for an incredibly rapid turnaround, whereas traditional epoxy resin may require 24–48 hours to fully cure.

FAQs
How long does resin flooring take to cure?
It depends on the system used. MMA cures in 2–3 hours, while epoxy resin typically cures in 24–48 hours. Polyurethane curing time will vary depending on ambient conditions and floor thickness.
Can resin flooring be installed overnight or on weekends?
Yes. We frequently install resin floors outside standard working hours to avoid operational disruption. We use rapid cure systems specifically for this purpose. Our in-house team is trained and equipped to handle complex projects, including phased installations that allow you to stay operational throughout.
What’s the fastest resin flooring option?
MMA is the fastest curing resin flooring system, with return to service possible within 2-3 hours. It’s ideal for environments that require an immediate turnaround. Our experienced team will work with you to specify the right resin system for your environment, ensuring you get a floor that performs exactly as you need it to.
Do epoxy and MMA cure differently?
Yes. Epoxy, as well as polyurethane, cures through a slower chemical reaction and generally takes longer to reach full strength. Both offer specific benefits in terms of durability and chemical resistance. MMA cures rapidly and can be walked on or driven over within hours. We help you weigh these factors during planning so you know exactly what to expect.
Can businesses stay open during installation?
In many cases, yes. We can phase the installation in large facilities or work during off-hours, allowing operations to continue uninterrupted. At Impact Flooring, we’ve perfected a resin floor installation process that’s fast, reliable, and tailored to your space. We’ll plan the project around your needs.
