Resin flooring is not just a surface finish; it is fast becoming an asset for UK Manufacturers who are looking to improve their facilities and comply with industry regulations. Industrial resin flooring solutions can help to improve key aspects, that are often seen as paramount in creating a successful manufacturing facility, including hygiene, safety and performance.
UK Manufacturing is governed by strict hygiene standards and regulations to protect consumers and employees. Failure to comply with these standards can lead to fines, product recalls, shutdowns and / or legal action. The consequences of poor hygiene and Health and Safety can be devasting to businesses and can result in financial loss as well as reputational damage.
Using industrial resin flooring as a preventative measure for safety, longevity and compliance can offer several benefits to manufacturers as detailed below.
Hygiene, Safety & Compliance:
Resin flooring provides an extremely hard-wearing solution that helps to enhance hygiene standards for several reasons. Resin floors are poured and cured onsite, helping to create a seamless surface. With no grouted joints or seams there are no spaces for bacteria to grow. Preventative hygiene is cheaper than dealing with the aftermath of contamination incidents.
Providing a safe working environment is essential to protecting employees. Resin flooring is extremely flexible in terms of finish. Aggregates can be incorporated into the surface of a resin floor, enhancing slip resistance to reduce workplace accidents.
Due to its versatility, resin flooring can also be colour coded or marked to highlight walkways or designated workflow areas, thereby improving workplace safety for personnel.
Longevity & Performance:
Resin floors are well known for their durability, particularly in manufacturing environments that require high levels of physical and chemical resistance.
Resin flooring forms a highly durable and cohesive bond with the underlying substrate, significantly minimising the likelihood of delamination or surface separation over time. This strong adhesion ensures long-term performance and structural integrity, even under heavy use or challenging conditions. Providing a tough, impermeable surface they protect the substrate.
Their endurance and resistance within these challenging environments extends the lifespan of the floor, reducing the frequency and cost of repairs and replacements.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, resin flooring represents far more than just a surface finish – it is a strategic investment in the long-term performance, safety, and sustainability of UK manufacturing operations. By choosing a high-quality resin flooring system, manufacturers not only futureproof their facilities against wear and chemical exposure but also enhance operational efficiency and reputation.
