Flooring for production facilities: selection, technology and repair

Main types of floors for production facilities

1. Polymer floors

• Epoxy floors: Resistant to chemicals, oils and moisture. Often used in laboratories, pharmaceutical and food production facilities. Technology includes priming and application of epoxy mixture.
• Polyurethane floors: Flexible, withstands vibrations and temperature fluctuations. Suitable for cold rooms and workshops with impact loads.
• Bulk polymer floors: Seamless coatings with high abrasion resistance. Epoxy and polyurethane formulations are popular.

2. concrete floors

• The classic option for warehouses and workshops. For reinforcement, concrete poured floors with reinforced top layer or polymer impregnations are used.
• Concrete polishing reduces dusting and extends service life.

3. Metal tiles

• It is used in areas with extreme loads (car service stations, heavy industry workshops). Characterized by impact resistance and resistance to mechanical damage.

How do I choose the coverage?

Selection criteria

• Type of loads: static, dynamic, vibration.
• Chemical resistance: contact with acids, alkalis, oils.
• Temperature regime: from cold rooms to hot shops.
• Budget: cost of materials and installation.

For example, polymer flooring is suitable for food processing facilities due to its hygienic properties, while metal tiles are suitable for areas where there is a risk of heavy objects falling.

Factors affecting the cost

The price of coverage is formed by taking into account:

• Type of material (epoxy, polyurethane, concrete).
• Difficulties of substrate preparation: leveling, dedusting, crack repair.
• Additional properties: anti-static, heat resistant, anti-slip.
• The area of the facility and the timing of the work.

The exact cost is calculated individually after analyzing the operating conditions and technical requirements.

Installation techniques

• Poured floors: The mixture spreads over the substrate to form an even, seamless coating. Thorough priming is important for epoxy compounds.
• Polymer floors: Apply in several layers with interlayer drying.
• Concrete floors: Require vibro-compaction and finishing grouting.

Repair of floors in production facilities

Even durable coatings wear out over time. The main stages of repair:

• Damage assessment (cracks, chips, delaminations).
• Cleaning and surface preparation.
• Localization of defects using repair mixtures.
• Application of a finishing coat or protective coating.

Timely repair of industrial flooring prevents accidents and reduces the cost of complete flooring replacement.
