Fosroc ANZ provides custom industrial flooring solutions tailored to the unique requirements of every project, whether it’s resurfacing an underground car park, refurbishing a warehouse or renovating a research facility.
Andrew Nelson, Fosroc ANZ's Product Segment Specialist for Flooring and Coatings, says that selecting the right flooring solution is paramount.
"Floors are the hardest working surfaces of any building," Andrew explains. "To ensure they last the distance, it's critical to select a flooring system that is fit for purpose."
"We have a wide range of flooring products from sealers and densifiers to cementitious and resin-based flooring systems," he says. "It can be confusing for asset owners, builders and specifiers to know where to start."
Five factors to consider when selecting a flooring solution
According to Andrew, there are five key factors that should be considered before selecting a flooring solution.
- Project type - Are you undertaking defect rectification or producing an internal finish? What substrate are you working with?
- Expected traffic - What levels of traffic will the flooring have to endure? Heavy vehicle? Foot traffic? Does the surface need to be non-slip?
- Environment - Are aesthetics important? Will the flooring be exposed to a corrosive environment or harsh UV light? Will it be overlayed with tiles or carpet? Is waterproofing a requirement? Are VOCs a concern?
- Chemical exposure - Will the surface be exposed to harsh industrial chemicals or other corrosive substances?
- Hygiene - Are there particular hygiene requirements? Does the floor need HACCP certification for use in the food and beverage industry?
"By taking each of these factors into account, asset owners can be confident they're getting the right flooring system for them." Andrew says.
