The number and types of flooring systems offered on the Slovakian construction market are rapidly increasing every year. Customers show particular interest in methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymer flooring systems, which differ from other coatings due to their specific operational and technical properties.
MMA flooring is considered a universal solution, although it is no less durable than other types of polymer flooring systems.
Key advantages of MMA flooring include:
- extremely fast curing time – ready for full use within a few hours after application,
- ability to cure at low and even sub-zero temperatures and in outdoor conditions,
- high resistance to UV radiation, maintaining appearance even under strong sunlight,
- high wear resistance, durability, and scratch resistance,
- high chemical resistance.
The main advantage is resistance to low temperatures, which is why MMA floors are used in large industrial halls, garages, hangars, and cold storage facilities. A drawback is the strong characteristic odor during installation, which must be considered in food storage areas or facilities with stored products. Proper ventilation is required during installation.
Methyl methacrylate flooring is among the more expensive flooring systems, but its price is justified by unique properties unmatched by other polymer systems.
Types of MMA flooring
Our company offers the following MMA systems:
- Flowfast Terrosso
- Deckshield Rapide ED
- Flowfast Quartz
Flowfast Terrosso and Flowfast Quartz are decorative, highly durable, fast-curing systems (around 60 minutes) based on MMA resin with quartz filler or decorative flakes.
Deckshield Rapide ED is a specialized polyurethane system designed for parking decks, outdoor parking areas, and multi-storey garages. It is resistant to weather conditions and UV exposure, and provides flexibility and high chemical resistance to automotive fluids and fuels.
Where methyl methacrylate flooring is used
The advantages and unique properties of these floors determine their wide range of applications. MMA flooring is most commonly installed in the following facilities:
- production facilities,
- food industry plants,
- freezer rooms and cold storage facilities,
- kitchen areas,
- shopping centres, retail stores, and supermarkets,
- office buildings,
- warehouses,
- outdoor parking areas and open car parks (Deckshield ED system).
You can order MMA flooring installation from our company. Installing this type of flooring requires a high level of expertise, as fast-curing systems must be applied strictly according to technical procedures.
The cost of MMA flooring depends on several factors:
- presence or absence of a concrete substrate and its condition,
- size and location of the project,
- specifics of the room where the flooring will be installed,
- operating conditions of the industrial/commercial floor,
- selected system and required performance characteristics.
