YES! As a member, we are committed to upholding the highest standards in resin flooring installation and maintenance. 

By adhering to FeRFA's Codes of Practice, we ensure that our operations, management practices, technical services, training programs, health and safety protocols, and business ethics meet industry best practices.  

The installation process for resin flooring typically follows a well-defined series of steps. Here's an overview of the general installation process:

1. Surface Preparation:

• The first step involves preparing the substrate (the existing floor or surface). This may include cleaning, repairing cracks or defects, and ensuring it is clean and free of contaminants. Surface preparation is critical for the adhesion and performance of the resin flooring.

2. Primer Application:

• A primer coat is applied to the prepared substrate. The primer enhances the bond between the substrate and the resin flooring system.

3. Base Layer Application:

• The base layer, which is often the resin material itself, is applied over the primer. This layer provides the primary structure and characteristics of the flooring system, such as durability and chemical resistance.

4. Optional Decorative Layer:

• For decorative resin flooring, this is the stage where any desired designs, colors, or patterns are added. Decorative options can vary depending on the resin system and your preferences.

5. Topcoat Application:

• A topcoat is applied to protect the base layer and enhance its durability, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. The topcoat can also provide a glossy or matte finish.

6. Curing:

• The resin flooring is allowed to cure or harden. The curing time can vary depending on the specific resin system used. 

7. Quality Control and Inspection:

• The installed resin flooring is inspected for any imperfections or defects. This step ensures that the flooring meets quality standards.

8. Final Finish:

• The final finish, including any polishing or additional treatments, may be applied if required for the specific resin flooring system.

9. Handover and Maintenance Instructions:

• Once the resin flooring is fully cured and ready for use, we will provide maintenance instructions to ensure the longevity and performance of the flooring.

We take great pride in our association with FeRFA (Resin Flooring Association), and we encourage you to benefit from their expertise as well.

The expected timeline for completing a resin flooring project can vary depending on several factors. These factors include the size of the area to be coated, the type of resin flooring system chosen, the condition of the substrate, and the specific requirements of the project.  

Here's a rough estimate of typical project timelines: 

1. Small to Medium Projects (e.g., small commercial spaces): These projects can often be completed in a matter of days. The installation process involves surface preparation, application, and curing.
2. Larger Commercial or Industrial Projects: For more extensive areas, such as factories or warehouses, the project timeline may extend to a week or more. The exact duration will depend on factors like the size of the space and the complexity of the installation.
3. Extensive Industrial or Specialty Projects: In cases of highly specialized or large-scale industrial projects, the timeline can range from several weeks to a few months. These projects may require multiple coats, intricate designs, or additional curing time.

Resin flooring is highly resistant to chemical exposure and spills, making it an ideal choice for environments where such exposure is a concern. The specific level of resistance depends on the type of resin flooring system chosen. Epoxy and polyurethane resin flooring systems are all known for their ability to withstand a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oils. 

When it comes to industrial flooring finishes, quality is paramount.
We only work with trusted suppliers who provide high-quality materials that meet industry standards.

Resin flooring is exceptionally durable. The lifespan of resin flooring can vary depending on factors such as the type of resin used, the level of foot traffic, the maintenance it receives, and the specific environment it's installed in. In general, properly maintained resin flooring can last anywhere from 15 to 20 years or more. 

Yes, resin flooring can be highly customized in terms of both color and design.  Customization of resin flooring not only enhances the visual appeal but also allows you to create a flooring solution that aligns with your branding, interior design, or functional needs.
