P.u Flooring
Epoxy flooring can be replaced with polyurethane floors. When two components are mixed together and allowed to cure, they can either be one-component or two-component cures.
The most typical types of flooring made of polyurethane are:
Because PU flooring is more flexible, it also resists scratches better. The flexibility of polyurethane floor coating makes it a viable option for spaces like multi-story parking garages since it can also serve as a waterproofing layer to stop concrete (substrate) cracks from moving through the coating and showing up on the surface.
PU flooring is also the superior choice when it comes to chemical exposure, particularly in food sectors that deal with the manufacturing of dairy, milk, and beverages, which exposes the floor to lactic acids and other fruit acids.
In freezing rooms, polyurethane floors are frequently used. Once the temperature dips below 0 degrees Celsius, epoxies become less effective. They just don't have the elastic qualities to sustain such low temperatures, thus if the temperature dips below zero, they have a tendency to break.
Here is where a 2 mm thick polyurethane floor coating is typically applied. It produces a lovely elastic surface that enables container trucks to move around frequently without suffering any damage.
In addition, we apply thick elastic PU coatings in commercial buildings like gyms and schools. They have a soft, less shiny feel. It is more comfortable for people to walk on since the elastic surface tends to absorb part of the impact from foot activity.
Such floor coatings are seen as practical and secure, particularly in schools, sports facilities, and even yoga studios.
