The modern construction market offers many solutions and technologies for flooring systems in industrial facilities. One of the most popular innovative solutions is polyurethane flooring, which has gained trust and popularity in the Ukrainian flooring market.
What is polyurethane flooring?
Polyurethane flooring is a modern flooring system based on polyurethane resin. Once cured, it forms a durable protective layer that protects the floor from damage, cracking, moisture, exposure to chemical and organic substances, temperature fluctuations, and abrasive wear. A self-levelling polyurethane floor is a strong yet elastic monolithic system characterized by high durability, long service life, and an attractive appearance.
To ensure a service life of more than 20 years, polyurethane floors must be installed on a high-quality concrete substrate that is perfectly level and defect-free before application. The concrete surface must be cleaned from dust and contaminants, leveled, and treated with a special primer that ensures adhesion between the polymer system and the concrete.
This flooring system can be decorated by adding coloured or natural quartz sand. It can be finished as either glossy or matte, smooth or textured. To achieve the required anti-slip performance, quartz filler is used in the appropriate ratio.
Advantages of polyurethane flooring compared to other types of resin floors
To understand the uniqueness of polyurethane flooring for industrial and commercial spaces, it is important to review its key advantages and specific properties.
The main benefits of polyurethane flooring systems include:
- high elasticity that helps bridge cracks in the substrate,
- excellent slip resistance,
- increased resistance to mechanical and dynamic loads, suitable for areas with heavy equipment and racking systems,
- resistance to vibration loads,
- seamless and monolithic surface ensuring high hygiene and easy cleaning,
- outstanding durability compared to other systems — average service life exceeds 20 years,
- fire safety — the material does not burn or spread flames under high temperatures or direct fire exposure,
- wide range of colors and textures allows use not only in industrial but also commercial spaces (shops, shopping malls, exhibition centers, museums, offices, etc.),
- environmental safety — the material does not release toxic substances during installation or use.
Where are polyurethane floors used?
The advantages and unique properties of polyurethane determine its wide range of applications. Polyurethane flooring is most commonly installed in the following types of facilities:
- parking lots, garages, and car parks,
- production facilities,
- commercial and office buildings,
- industrial plants,
- warehouse and logistics centres,
- medical and educational institutions.
The cost of polyurethane flooring installation depends on several key factors:
- location and size of the project,
- condition of the existing concrete substrate (flatness, strength, cracks, and defects),
- building characteristics and operating conditions,
- requirements for the final finish,
- selected system type and thickness.
The price per m² is calculated individually for each project.
