It is best to have all of the correct information when deciding which flooring solution is best for your space. Tiled and resin flooring are popular solutions within the commercial and industrial sector, but how do you know which is best for you?
Ultimately, the right choice depends on your specific needs and the environment in which the flooring will be installed. If you’re looking for a seamless, hygienic, and long-lasting flooring solution, resin flooring is the way to go.
Flooring solutions are often based on the following considerations:
- Hygiene: Resin flooring offers a seamless surface with no grout lines and minimal joints where bacteria, dirt, and mould can accumulate. This makes it significantly easier to clean and maintain when compared to tiles. Grouted joints within tiled solutions can often trap dirt, making them look unsightly and increase the risk of bacteria growth.
- Anti-Slip: Resin flooring offers exceptional flexibility in terms of finish and the degree of slip resistance can be tailored to suit the environment. Aggregates can be added within resin flooring to create a textured flooring solution. This feature enhances slip resistance even in wet conditions, ensuring safety to customers and members of staff is maintained. Tiles can be supplied with a degree of texture but can not rival the levels of slip resistance that a resin floor can provide.
- Durability: Resin flooring is extremely durable and resistant to wear. Its seamless nature and bond to a wide range of substrates help to enhance its longevity. Whilst tiles themselves are often durable, the grouted joints can act as a week spot and often chip, crack or become loose because of impact or high levels of foot-traffic.
- Maintenance: As a result of the durability of resin flooring, long-term maintenance costs are often significantly reduced, when the correct aftercare is retained. If repairs are required, they can be completed in patches and fast curing options ensure there is minimal disruption. Tiles often require more maintenance and frequent repair.
