Polyurethane Resin Flooring Thornton Heath 

Resin floors have become seriously popular in the last decade or so in domestic, commercial and industrial environments in Thornton Heath - and for good reason: they are affordable, extremely durable, and highly attractive.

There are two main choices when it comes to choosing a resin floor system: epoxy resin or polyurethane resin flooring, so you need to research the subject carefully to make sure you get the best one for your situation - and for your money!

As experts in the resin flooring trade, Epoxy Gang is putting the spotlight on polyurethane flooring to give you everything you need to know in order to discover whether this is the right choice for you.

What Is A Polyurethane Floor?

It's a thermo-setting polymer that comes in liquid form that provides a hard-wearing protective surface, usually over the top of concrete floors (although we can install this over some other hard flooring if it is suitable).

It is applied in liquid form, either poured or laid as a screed, depending on the thickness required.

Wherever it is laid, polyurethane resin flooring looks fantastic. It can be as decorative or as plain and practical as you wish.

There are several different types of polyurethane flooring available, including the following:

  • Self-levelling floors
  • Polyurethane mortar
  • PU floor screed
  • Flexible PU floors
  • Polyurethane floor coating

Some are geared towards commercial and industrial settings, while others are ideal for the home. For example, you won't need a heavy-duty polyurethane floor in your home kitchen. And a resin screed usually has a matt finish that isn't as appealing in a residential setting, although it's fine in a warehouse or factory.

Epoxy Gang will discuss your flooring project with you to find the best solution for your individual circumstances.

What Are The Benefits

What Are The Benefits?

PU flooring offers many advantages over other types of flooring, as you can see from this list:

  • Good chemical resistance
  • Suitable for underfloor heating
  • Excellent durability
  • Anti-slip surface
  • A wide range of colours
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Good water resistance

Self-levelling polyurethane resin flooring systems are perfect for busy areas with a high volume of pedestrian traffic, as you find in places like factories or shopping centres where the floor has been worn out in certain areas.

Cleaning and maintenance couldn't be simpler - while thicker floors can be steam cleaned (the resin must be 9mm or thicker), most resin flooring can be wiped clean with a cloth or mop.

While resin flooring surfaces are perfectly smooth and seamless, they aren't usually slippery. If this is still a concern for you, please ask about our anti-slip features that can be added when your new floor is installed.

Trowel-applied or screed floors are an excellent choice for any premises in the industrial sector, as they offer extra protection in sections where heavy-duty traffic is common.

As for the design, you can select from our catalogue of standard colours or create a bespoke colour scheme that matches your brand or personal preferences.

Polyurethane flooring is also highly water-resistant, so your substrate is always protected against spills and leaks.

Is Polyurethane Better Than Epoxy?

Both are excellent materials in their own right and offer many benefits. As for which is best, it depends on what you want from your flooring.

One advantage of polyurethane is that it offers better noise reduction - the hard surface can be noisy to walk on, particularly with epoxy flooring. A PU floor, however, is more elastic and can be installed with extra cushioning that reduces the noise level.

This flexibility also makes them more resistant to scratches and a better choice for any substrate that is susceptible to slight movement. Epoxy is more rigid, and there is a risk of cracking if there's any movement in the substrate.

How Long Is The Installation Process?

For a home in Thornton Heath, the work will usually last between one and two days. For a larger area, for example, in a warehouse or factory, please allow at least five days.

We are anxious to fit in with your schedule as far as is practical, although our technicians can't be rushed. This is a skilled job that requires focus and expert knowledge; if any stage is neglected or hurried, the results will fall short of our high standards and your expectations. We are happy to discuss the possibility of arranging the visit at a convenient time to minimise disruption, but we can't alter the drying times!

While the resin usually dries within 12 to 24 hours, it takes about 7 days* to cure completely, so care must be taken not to damage it during this time. It's best to avoid placing furniture on your new floor too soon, and you shouldn't expose it to heavy use in the first 24 hours.

*This is a general estimate - some types of resin can take as long as 30 days to reach 'full chemical cure' under certain conditions!

When the Epoxy Gang technicians fit your floor, they will advise you as to drying times according to the type of resin flooring you have, as well as the atmospheric conditions at the time.
