As a hard-wearing plastic surface, resin flooring is created by mixing together a selection of ingredients to initiate a fast and controlled chemical reaction. The chemical reaction creates a highly durable finish, ideal for the heaviest use environments.
In recent years resin flooring has become more popular due to improved benefits and aesthetic design. Now, there is a popular demand for resin flooring not only in residential property but also to commercial businesses such as schools, hospitals, and restaurants.
Optimum Flooring Services Ltd has listed just some of the benefits of resin flooring and why it could be the perfect flooring solution for your home or business.
Types of Resin Flooring
There are three main types of resin flooring all offering a variety of different benefits however all resin flooring have the same qualities of bonding to concrete and creating a hard surface.
Epoxy
Polyurethane (PU)
Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
Epoxy
Probably the best known and most widely used kind of industrial resin flooring, epoxy resin offers the performance and durability of resin flooring. If an epoxy resin floor is damaged, however, it must be fully replaced, and with the longest cure time of all resin flooring options, an unplanned replacement could be very costly to a business.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane resin flooring boasts a faster average curing time than epoxy resin floors up to several days and has extremely high heat resistance, as well as unrivaled tolerance to chemical spills. This makes polyurethane resin floors the ideal food-grade flooring, perfect for bakeries, kitchens, and workshops that frequently use ovens or other similar tools.
Polyaspartic
Polyaspartic floor coatings can be open to moderate foot traffic in just a few hours after installation. In addition, these 100% solids, solvent-free coatings exhibit superior UV-resistance, high tolerance to heat, impact resistance, and very low odour. It has low to no VOC’s and has an elongation rate that exceeds 300%, making it much more flexible than epoxy.
Another benefit of polyaspartic floor coatings is that you are not restricted to certain times of the year to coat your flooring as polyasparticcan be applied in temperatures as low as -35F to as high as 140F depending on the formulation.

Hygienic
Because of resin flooring’s waterproof surface, this makes it almost impossible for bacteria to grow on the surface. It is the perfect choice for hospitals, schools, and restaurants, where hygiene is as important as the correct specialist equipment, makes the non-absorbent surface easy and efficient to clean.
Durability
Resin flooring is a durable flooring that is resistant to wear and tear. Ideal for commercial and industrial spaces it can withstand the stream of constant machinery usage from forklifts and transport machinery as well as constant foot traffic. Resin flooring is also resistant to sudden impact meaning accidental spills and drops will not cause damage to the floor’s surface. Chemical Resistance Resin flooring can withstand continued exposure to chemicals without becoming less effective or damaged in any way. This makes resin flooring the ideal choice for all businesses which are exposed to harsh chemicals such as hospitals, warehouse units and pharmaceutical facilities.
Slip Resistance
Slips, trips, and falls are the most common course of injury in the workplace. Nearly 37.5 million falls worldwide require medical attention each year. In 2018/2019 40 members of the public in the UK were killed due to falls in the workplace. Falls are the second leading course of accidental or unintentional deaths from injury worldwide. These statistics are staggering but measures can be implemented to reduce these potential accidents and priority one should be slip-resistant resin flooring.
Create a Safe Workplace
Another great thing about resin floorings is that it is environmentally-safe and chemical-resistant. Additionally, resin flooring also has a non-slip surface making it safe for everyone to use.
This makes epoxy floor coating ideal for large spaces, where loading bays, forklift paths, and walkways need to be marked to ensure the safe movement of vehicles and workers.
Epoxy coating is also resistant to extreme and sudden impact, slippages, high temperatures, and even fire.
Plus, epoxy floor coating boosts brightness by up to 300 percent. This is due to the way light reflects off the smooth epoxy surface. As a result, your workers and customers will benefit from improved visibility and a safer working environment. And you avoid the cost of installing extra lighting. Visual Improvement Resin flooring can create a visually brighter and enhanced appearance, with improved light reflectivity this creates a brighter workplace.
