At Facilities Show 2014 decision makers from across the facilities management industry will be able to find out how Flowcrete UK is makes it easier to choose and install the right floor.

On stand N915 Flowcrete UK will be showcasing its wide range of advanced resin flooring solutions that have been designed to meet the diverse, often challenging, demands that the managers of industrial facilities have to consider when specifying floors.

The ideal floor for an industrial space needs to hit a combination of functional, construction, maintenance and lifecycle requirements. This means that not only does the floor finish have to resist heavy impacts, traffic and corrosives, but also provide a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface that avoids dirt accumulation and enhances the working environment.

At the same time as needing a floor that optimises the facility’s functionality, the practical concerns of the installation can be just as essential. In particular facilities managers are often looking for ways to minimise the detrimental financial costs of downtime to ensure that productive activity commences as soon as possible.

Putting off refurbishments or initially installing lower quality materials may minimise costs and cut schedules in the short time – but both of these scenarios could lead to a number of floor failures later on that could significantly disrupt operations and pile on additional outlays for repair work.

The fast curing solution Flowfast Quartz from Flowcrete UK is ideal for sites that need a speedy application that still ensures a high quality finish. This hard-wearing methyl methacrylate (MMA) resin system is trafficable within only 1-2 hours of application, delivering a fully functional surface within a fraction of the usual time.

The wide variety of hard wearing floors available from Flowcrete UK means there is a solution to match any challenge. Flowcrete UK’s epoxy range has the ideal flooring solution for most industrial sectors and facilities particularly at risk from severe chemical attack can take advantage of the corrosion protection provided by Flowchem VE.

For locations that need to meet the highest levels of hygiene Flowcrete UK has created the antimicrobial system Flowfresh, which has the Polygiene® additive incorporated throughout the resin material, meaning that it can eliminate up to 99.9% of the bacteria on the floor.
