Trusted Resin Flooring in Newcastle

When it comes to resin flooring systems, there are three primary types that you should be aware of. These consist of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyurethane, and epoxy resin flooring. While every type available offers more quality of life benefits, such as heavy-duty properties and a greater hygiene level, there are differences between each type of resin that allow them to perform better in certain circumstances. 

PMMA

Polymethyl methacrylate, or PMMA, flooring is also known as acrylic glass – the same material used to create plexiglass and perspex products. PMMA is also categorised as a thermoplastic resin, meaning that is the optimal choice for commercial and industrial applications while also being able to be upgraded with non-slip flooring properties and chemical resistance. 

Polymethyl methacrylate also boasts rapid curing times, even at harsh winter temperatures. This means that PMMA resin flooring can be fully installed and completely cured over a weekend, eliminating the need to put the breaks on your business operations and preventing as much downtime as possible.

The benefits of polymethyl methacrylate don’t end there either. If the floor does become damaged, it provides an easier time during the repairing and upgrading process due to its unique chemical bond. These advantages do, however, increase the price of this type of flooring. However, our experts do believe that the higher price compared to our other options is worth it for the convenience of installation and repairs alone.

Polyurethane

In a similar style to PMMA, polyurethane resin flooring also provides excellent heavy-duty properties, resistance against abrasion, and defences against chemicals. In contrast, polyurethane boasts a far higher temperature resistance than PMMA, not buckling, cracking, or melting in the face of extreme or direct heat. In light of this, polyurethane is the ideal option for industrial areas, such as bakeries or welding facilities, where floors in front of ovens or exposure to direct heat are a frequent occurrence.

While also available in a range of different finishes, this ‘thermoset resin’ can take longer to cure compared to PMMA flooring – increasing the likelihood that operational downtime will occur. However, with appropriate planning, you can have a highly durable flooring option laid as quickly as possible. Simply discuss with our experts to discover your options. 

Epoxy Resin 

The most commonly known and widely recognised resin flooring system, epoxy resin flooring is made from a thermoset resin. In a similar fashion to polyurethane resin, epoxy resin flooring has the longest curing time of our available options, so it is highly advised to properly plan your operations around the installation of this flooring. 

Epoxy flooring offers high performance and durability for multiple different environments, with the added bonus of electrical conduction. This flooring system also provides the option for chemical and slip resistance, as well as being naturally resistant against impact, wear and tear, abrasion, and water ingress.
