First fit cost vs life cycle cost:
When considering a new floor finish, it is essential to consider not only the initial cost of the product but also the life cycle cost. A life cycle analysis considers all expenditures over the product’s lifetime, including the initial outlay, servicing, preventative maintenance, operation and disposal. Often budgets only consider the initial cost of a product, and whilst this may be the cheaper alternative at the time, spending less on upfront costs may not offer long-term savings.
Maintenance and repair costs can mount up over the years, significantly increasing the product’s life cycle cost. A resin floor is typically more expensive to install than other floor finishes, such as vinyl or tiles. However, when considered in comparison over a life cycle, it may offer a cheaper and more sustainable solution. For further details read more on our website,

Offering the same distinctive benefits as Degafloor resin flooring solutions, Degaflex is fully cured within just 2 hours of installation and offers exceptional resistance to both physical and chemical attack.
Once applied the resins create a seamless and impervious surface to produce a fully waterproof roofing system which is fire resistant to BS 476 Part 3 EXT.F.AB standards.

Preventing slips in the kitchen
Preventing slips is paramount in protecting your employees. There are a number of factors that can help to reduce slips in your workplace.
Choose the correct floor finish: Ensuring your floor finish is suitable for the operating environment is imperative when looking to reduce the risk of slips. Companies often choose a floor that offers a good slip resistance rating in dry conditions without considering the impact on this rating under operating conditions.
If the floor is likely to get wet or receive frequent spills, the floor finish should be assessed by taking this into consideration. Asking your flooring provider for the slip resistance rating under wet conditions could help to protect you and your employees against slips. Most floors will offer acceptable slip resistance under dry conditions but many smooth floor finishes are likely to fail assessments when wet. At RESYN, we always assess floors under the operating conditions and not ‘perfect conditions’ before recommending or installing a floor finish. We offer systems that are textured to provide excellent slip resistance, even when wet.. We are also very aware that a textured floor finish comes with the concerns of ‘cleanability.’ This leads us on to our next point.
Adapting your cleaning regime:
Ensure your cleaning regime is adequate in removing all contaminants and grease from the floor. Many people believe that mopping a floor is a good cleaning practice however this regime doesn’t tend to remove the contaminants or grease and simply smears them around. In conjunction with a good cleaning product, the floor should be scrubbed and rinsed with the dirty, contaminated water being removed.
Luxurious and elegant 4-star hotel, Kilworth House upgrades kitchen facilities
Kilworth House is an elegant 4-star hotel based in the Leicestershire countryside. Set in an expansive 38 acres of private land, the hotel offers a mix of fine dining and luxurious accommodation with its very own outdoor theatre. Following a busy Christmas and New Year the hotel made the decision to close and as part of their continual investment in the hotel, took the opportunity to replace its kitchen floor.
A resin floor had been installed within the kitchen many years ago and had lost its slip resistance. To improve the safety for their employees, the hotel maintenance team applied a non-slip epoxy coating over the top – however this had started to flake off. RESYN, ground off the epoxy coating back to the original resin and removed all damaged areas, which were then infilled with Degafloor Deep Fill, a quick curing repair mortar. The Degafloor FB System was installed over the top of the existing resin. Due to the product’s unique curing characteristics, the MMA flooring system chemically bonds to the existing resin floor to provide an exceptionally hardwearing finish.
Degafloor’s fast curing MMA resin flooring systems are fully cured within just two hours of installation, making them ideally suited to refurbishments where closure periods are limited. Although the hotel had taken the decision to close throughout the installation, it was crucial that the closure was kept to minimum.
The Degafloor FB System, recommended and installed on the project, is broadcast with aggregates, and sealed to provide a hygienic, slip resistant floor. The system ensures that all regulation standards for a commercial kitchen are maintained.
RESYN have vast experience within the hotel industry, undertaking commercial kitchen flooring installations. As a result, the company is aware how sensitive these projects can be and understand the importance of completing work with minimal disruption. The hotel team were impressed with the service provided and were grateful to the team who managed to finish ahead of schedule. The installation was completed over back-to-back shifts to minimise the closure.
We were extremely impressed with the service RESYN provided from start to finish. They provided very competent advice on our initial visit which gave us the confidence they could complete the installation quickly and efficiently. They surpassed our expectations and even finished ahead of schedule. They provided us with a cleaning kit and cleaning support following the installation to help our team maintain the new floor finish, which has been very valuable. Mark Warrilow, Maintenance Manager, Kilworth House.
