Every industrial flooring project is unique. We understand this at Fosroc ANZ, which is why we offer custom industrial flooring solutions. Whether you are resurfacing an underground car park, refurbishing a warehouse or renovating a research facility, we have the products and expertise to support project success.
WHY PRODUCT SELECTION IS IMPORTANT
Andrew Nelson, Fosroc ANZ’s Product Segment Specialist for Flooring and Coatings, says that selecting the right industrial flooring solution is paramount.
“Floors are the hardest working surfaces of any building, so a ‘fit for purpose’ solution is critical,” explains Andrew. “But with such a wide range of flooring products available, it can be confusing to know where to start.”
FIVE FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A FLOORING SOLUTION
According to Andrew, there are five key factors that should be considered before selecting a flooring solution:
● Project type – Are you undertaking defect rectification or producing an internal finish? What substrate are you working with?
● Expected traffic – What levels of traffic will the flooring have to endure? Heavy vehicle? Foot traffic? Does the surface need to be non-slip?
● Environment – Are aesthetics important? Will the flooring be exposed to a corrosive environment or harsh UV light? Will it be overlayed with tiles or carpet? Is waterproofing a requirement? Are VOCs a concern?
● Chemical exposure – Will the surface be exposed to harsh industrial chemicals or other corrosive substances?
● Hygiene – Are there particular hygiene requirements? Does the floor need HACCP certification for use in the food and beverage industry?
“By taking each of these factors into account, you can be confident you’re selecting the right flooring system for your project,” Andrew says.
