Urethane Concrete Flooring
Economical, Industrial-Tough Flooring Replacement
Urethane concrete (also known as polyurethane concrete or polyurethane flooring) is one of the most durable industrial floors. The urethane concrete coating binds urethane resin technology with engineered cement powders for a high-performance, long-lasting floor. It is perfect for industrial and warehouse floors with a concrete subfloor and areas requiring the durability of constant cleaning, such as a food manufacturer’s floors. Urethane flooring withstands thermal cycling from hot- and cold-water wash downs needed for brewery floors or pharmaceutical production. The concrete coating is easy to clean, slip resistant, and very affordable for facilities with large square footage. A urethane concrete floor installed by Feature Flooring lasts up to 30 years and is highly customizable to fit any décor. Get a quote today >
FAQs: Urethane Concrete Flooring
One of the key strengths of urethane flooring is its extraordinary resistance to impacts and abrasions. This means it can stand up to heavy machinery, frequent foot traffic, and dropped objects without showing signs of damage. Also very important with this system is the combination of cement and select aggregates this system will provide similar attributes to concrete making this system very resistant to thermal shock
Urethane flooring is an excellent choice for industries like manufacturing or food processing, where floors are subject to rigorous use and potential damage.
Urethane concrete flooring installation is a multistep process that begins with preparing the underlayer floor surface to an appropriate CSP (concrete surface profile). A primer coat is applied by roller to enhance the adhesion of the subsequent urethane layer.
The urethane concrete mixture, a blend of cement, water aggregate, and different additives is mixed using a specific mixing technique. The mixture is then poured out over the prepped area and then squeegeed to the designed thickness evenly across the floor.. This process happens again with a broadcast to add slip resistance. Once cured, this forms a robust, seamless, slip-resistant surface. An optional topcoat can be added for extra protection or aesthetic appeal
Urethane flooring is essentially concrete with a dye in it so they are very well known as is concrete for its resilience under extreme temperature variations. Whether it’s subjected to high heat or freezing cold, urethane flooring systems maintain their structural integrity and appearance thru thermal shock. It’s also an extremely durable solution because of the similarities with concrete plus the added durability of multiple layers of the system and a top-coat
In terms of maintenance, urethane flooring excels as well. Its seamless surface makes cleaning spills and dirt easy, ensuring your floors can be kept in top condition with minimal effort. This flooring type is also resistant to chemicals and stains, so you can keep your floor looking pristine without the need for extensive or costly cleaning practices.
Yes, urethane concrete flooring provides a clean, seamless, and professional look that can be a significant aesthetic upgrade over other types of industrial flooring.
While it’s often chosen for its strength and durability, it also It can be tailored to fit various environments and design preferences, with options to choose from different colors and finishes.
