What is resin flooring?
esin flooring, essentially, is a hard plastic surface that is laid on top of the flooring substrate, such as concrete floors. It usually has three layers, including:
A primer
This is used to penetrate the substrate, creating a strong and long-lasting bond.
Body coat
The body coat is the main structural layer. At its most basic level, it’s made from a synthetic resin and a separate hardener. This creates a hard-wearing finish, perfect for use in many industrial and commercial environments. However, for particularly heavy-duty applications, additional ingredients (e.g. aggregates, pigment, or decorative flakes) can also be added to make it thicker and tougher.
Top resin layer
This layer finishes the flooring and can add a matte or high-shine finish, which, depending on the resin system you choose, can also help to keep out moisture.
