What Is Polyurethane Flooring?

Polyurethane flooring is a flooring solution used in industrial environments for its resistance to wear and chemicals. At Industrial Flooring, we install polyurethane systems that offer benefits such as flexibility and temperature resistance.

The flooring is available in different grades, including aliphatic and aromatic, which provide specific levels of UV stability and durability.

Ideal for factories, warehouses, and laboratories, polyurethane flooring can withstand heavy machinery and frequent cleaning without compromising on performance. Employing methods such as self-levelling and trowelled applications, we ensure a finish.

The surface can be textured or smooth, depending on the safety and hygiene requirements of the facility.

Our installations comply with relevant standards like BS 8204-6 for screeds and EN 13813 for flooring materials. Polyurethane flooring typically cures in 24 to 48 hours, allowing for minimal disruption to your operations.

How Much Does Polyurethane Flooring Cost?

Polyurethane flooring typically costs between £60 and £100 per m². The cost can vary depending on several factors, including the substrate condition, area size, and specific system required.

For example, if the substrate requires extensive preparation like shot blasting or diamond grinding, this may increase the overall cost. Additionally, the choice between a self-levelling or trowelled system can impact pricing, with self-levelling systems being generally less labour-intensive.

Other considerations include the flooring's resistance properties, such as chemical or slip resistance, which are crucial for environments like food processing plants or pharmaceuticals. These features often require additional materials or coatings, influencing the final cost.

What Are the Benefits of Polyurethane Flooring?

Polyurethane flooring provides numerous benefits for industrial settings. It is particularly suited for environments that require floors to endure extreme conditions over extended periods.

Durability: Withstands heavy traffic and machinery, making it excellent for warehouses and production facilities. The flooring can handle the weight of forklifts and other heavy equipment, maintaining its integrity under pressure.
Chemical Resistance: Protects against spills and corrosive substances, crucial for chemical manufacturing plants and laboratories. Polyurethane surfaces resist damage from acids, alkalis, and solvents, minimising potential downtime for repairs.
Thermal Shock Resistance: Ideal for temperature variations, especially in food processing industries where hot and cold processes frequently alternate. This flooring can handle rapid changes in temperature without cracking or deteriorating.
Easy Maintenance: Simplifies cleaning and upkeep, essential for maintaining hygiene in pharmaceuticals and food processing units. It resists staining and can be cleaned with basic cleaning agents, reducing the need for harsh chemicals.

These features make it a preferred choice for many industries. Contact us to learn more about how our flooring solutions can benefit your business.

When Is Polyurethane Flooring Needed?

Polyurethane flooring is needed when durability and chemical resistance are critical concerns. This type of flooring is designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, such as exposure to chemicals, frequent washing, and high impact.

It is often used in environments such as automotive workshops, where the floor must resist oil and solvent spills, as well as food processing plants that require floors meeting strict hygiene standards like HACCP and GMP. Pharmaceutical facilities also favour polyurethane flooring because it supports clean room standards with its and impermeable surface.

Additionally, areas that experience frequent temperature changes, like cold storage rooms, benefit from polyurethane flooring's thermal shock resistance and stability under extreme temperatures. This flooring is compatible with rapid-setting formulae for areas needing quick installation without long downtimes.
