Resin Flooring Systems

The use of resin flooring systems in industrial and commercial environments is almost limitless, with options to suit every budget.

Resin flooring can be applied to offer protection to the concrete floor surface against everyday wear and to protect the floor from spills and chemicals. It can be applied in a non-slip finish for safety requirements and as a decorative finish to enhance the appearance in the work place. From the application of a basic sealer coat, through to a thicker trowel applied resin floor screed, CG Flooring Systems have many years practical experience in the application of industrial resin floor systems.

There are different resin flooring systems available that are typically divided into epoxy, polyurethane and acrylic (MMA) resins. The different types of resin provide different combinations of application characteristics and through life performance and there are a number of factors to consider when selecting a resin flooring system. At CG Flooring Systems we have the knowledge and expertise to offer you sound professional advice on the most appropriate and cost effective resin flooring system to meet your operational requirements.

Our Approach

Critical to the success of any resin flooring system application is the level of surface preparation carried out before the resin can be laid. It is part of our ethos that detailed surface preparation is carried out on all our projects, where we will pay particular attention to:

Floor Joints – Location, Type and Condition
Surface Contamination – Oils, grease, etc
Cracking to the surface
Service Conditions (how the floor is expected to be used)

Our aim is to ensure you have the best possible experience with your resin flooring project. Please contact us and let us be your guide.

Anti-Slip Finish

resin systems

Resin floor systems can be adapted to suit different requirements such as adding aggregates to provide a slip resistant finish.

Decorative Finish

Decorative systems are available in a variety of colours and finishes. The addition of coloured aggregates or flakes give a different appearance to the floor. Ideally suited for reception areas or showrooms where first impressions count.

Table – Types of Synthetic Resin Flooring (BS 8204-6)

An essential criteria in selecting a resin floor system is to ensure the correct products are selected, with the resin applied at the correct thickness to meet the intended service conditions.

At CG Flooring Systems we follow the guidelines in British Standards, BS 8204-6, for the application of the various resin floor systems that are available:

Type	Name	Description	Duty	Typical Thickness
1	Floor Seal	Applied in two or more coats. Generally solvent or water borne.	LD	up to 150µ
2	Floor Coating	Applied in two or more coats. Generally solvent free	LD/MD	150µ to 300µ
3	High Build Floor Coating	Applied in two or more coats. Generally Solvent Free	MD	300µ to 1000µ
4	Multi-layer Flooring	Aggregate dressed systems based on multiple layers of floor coatings or flow applied floorings, often described as “sandwich” systems	MD/HD	>2 mm
5	Flow Applied Flooring	Often referred to as “self-smoothing” or “self-levelling” flooring and having a smooth surface	MD/HD	2 mm to 3 mm
6	Resin Screed Flooring	Trowel-finished, heavily filled systems, generally incorporating a surface seal coat to minimise porosity	MD/HD	4 mm
7	Heavy Duty Flowable Flooring	Having a Smooth Surface	HD/VHD	4 mm to 6 mm
8	Heavy Duty Resin Flooring	Trowel-finished, aggregate filled systems effectively impervious throughout their thickness	VHD	6 mm

Key

Duty	Abbreviation	Description
LD	Light Duty	Light foot traffic, occasional rubber tyred vehicles.
MD	Medium Duty	Regular foot traffic, frequent fork lift truck traffic, occasional hard plastic-wheeled trolleys.
HD	High Duty	Constant fork lift truck traffic, hard plastic wheeled trolleys, some impact.
VHD	Very High Duty	Severe heavily loaded traffic and impact.
