Resin floor coatings provide a tough, long-lasting protective layer for concrete floors, making them ideal for industrial and commercial environments. These coatings—typically made from epoxy or polyurethane—create a seamless, durable surface that resists wear, chemicals, and heavy traffic. From manufacturing plants to warehouses and commercial spaces, the right resin flooring system enhances safety and durability with added aesthetic benefits.
At Ascoat, we bring decades of experience in installing resin floor coatings that can withstand even the harshest conditions. Before selecting the right system for your facility, here are six key things to consider.
1. Resin Floor Coatings Offer Exceptional Durability
Industrial and commercial floors endure constant stress, whether from heavy machinery and equipment or foot traffic or chemicals. Over time, untreated concrete can crack, erode, or become a dust hazard, impacting safety and operations. Resin floor coatings form a tough, seamless barrier that resists abrasion, impact, and corrosive substances, preventing long-term damage. This makes resin flooring an ideal solution for a range of industries, from warehouses and factories to retail spaces, food processing, and automotive workshops, where floors must withstand constant wear without degrading.
2. Surface Preparation is Key to Longevity
One of the most important steps in installing resin floor coatings is surface preparation. Without proper preparation, even the best coatings can fail prematurely. The existing concrete must be thoroughly cleaned, profiled, and treated to ensure a strong bond. At Ascoat, we employ advanced surface preparation techniques to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity of our resin floor coatings. Some of our methods include shot blasting, which propels steel shots against the concrete to create a suitable profile, and scarifying, which uses rotating cutting wheels to remove existing coatings and contaminants. These processes are essential for achieving an optimal long-term performance.
3. You Can Customise for Different Environments
Not all resin floor coatings are the same. Different facilities have unique requirements, which is why resin floors can be customised to suit specific needs. We offer custom resin flooring solutions designed for the unique demands of your industry, including:
- Slip-resistant finishes for safety in wet or high-risk areas
- Anti-static flooring for electronics manufacturing and sensitive environments
- Chemical-resistant coatings for industries handling harsh substances
- Hygienic finishes for food processing and pharmaceutical facilities
Whether you need a non-slip surface for a commercial kitchen or a heavy-duty system for a manufacturing plant, we provide resin floor coatings designed for long-term resilience.
4. Resin Floors Are Easy to Maintain
One of the biggest advantages of resin floor coatings is how low-maintenance they are. Their seamless, non-porous surface makes cleaning simple—dirt, dust, and spills can be wiped away quickly without leaving stains or damage, which is especially beneficial for industries that require high hygiene standards. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your floor, but unlike traditional flooring options, resinous systems do not require frequent repairs or replacement.
5. Choosing the Right Thickness is Crucial
The thickness of your resin floor coating impacts its longevity. In high-traffic industrial settings, a coating of at least 2–3mm is recommended to provide adequate protection against mechanical wear and chemical exposure. For even greater durability, incorporating a trowelled base layer or self-levelling resin system can improve structural integrity and extend the lifespan of your floor. At Ascoat, we assess your specific requirements to recommend the ideal thickness for your facility.
6. Professional Installation Matters
While DIY epoxy kits are available, professional installation ensures the best results. Poorly applied resin floor coatings can lead to premature wear, delamination, or bonding failures—common mistakes that can result in costly repairs and downtime. At Ascoat, we believe in doing things right the first time, every time. Our expert team follows strict application processes, from meticulous surface preparation to precise installation techniques, ensuring a seamless, long-lasting finish that meets industry standards and withstands the demands of high-performance environments.
