Flooring
When it comes to choosing an industrial flooring, it’s important to make the right decision up-front. No matter what kind of warehouse you are operating for whatever industry, the flooring you choose is going to have a huge impact on your day-to-day operations. In the below videos we want to give you a clear overview of different types of industrial floors and their principal characteristics.
Type of Flooring:
Seam-less flooring / Laser Screed Joint-less Floors (Monolithic Floor) / Jointed Floors (Saw-Cut Floor)
1. Seam-less flooring :- Seamless flooring are new generation floors that come without seams, ridges, or joints. They are poured-in-place epoxy, urethane, or methyl methacrylate formulations and they become a natural part of a building’s very structure. These floors are finished without any saw-cut or expansion joints whatsoever. These floor systems are reinforced typically with a top rebar mesh in combination with high tensile strength steel fibres and are designed for a particular crack-width. Seamless floors offer a wide variety of designs that can be altered to one’s specific needs. Coatings can be customised with flake or quartz and unlimited color options can be implemented into the floor. Seamless floors allow for a wide variety of designs so that you don’t have to compromise aesthetics as well as durability.
2. Laser Screed Joint-less Floors (Monolithic Floor) :- Jointless floors are the most cost-efficient solution for high-intensity traffic and high-bay warehouses. Whereas saw-cut floors have a maximum joint space of 15 ft, jointless floors have at 50 ft between joints. Choosing a jointless floor ensures less joint-related issues such as curling, edge deterioration and cracking. Less joints help keeping floors exceptionally functional for an extended service life. Jointless floors offer better load resistance and increase design flexibility for owners.
3. Jointed Floors (Saw-Cut Floor) :- A sawcut floor is a cost-efficient industrial floor with contraction joints to minimize random cracking. The most effective and efficient method of producing contraction joints is saw cutting.
