Polyurethane Flooring Installation

Durable, flexible, and resistant to high levels of traffic and harsh conditions, polyurethane flooring is ideal for multiple applications across industries, especially outdoor environments.

Polyurethane Floor Coatings

Superior elasticity, impact resistance, and colour retention make polyurethane flooring solutions a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor use. Thanks to its ability to withstand extreme weather, temperature fluctuations, and heavy traffic, it’s often the flooring of choice for car parks, as well as warehouses and industrial facilities where durability and longevity are key. We assess whether polyurethane is the right choice for your flooring needs before delivering a professional coating service that you’ll benefit from for years to come.

Benefits of Polyurethane Floor Coatings

Strong and durable

Polyurethane floor coatings are highly durable and resistant to damage and impact, ensuring a long floor lifespan.

Excellent colour retention

Polyurethane floor systems are known for how well they retain colour and sheen, resulting in a floor that looks fresh year after year.

Anti-slip performance

Naturally anti-slip, polyurethane is an excellent flooring choice to ensure the safety of users and the stability of machinery

Resistant to chemicals

Its non-porous nature makes polyurethane flooring impermeable to chemical spills, leaks, and moisture.

The benefits of proper floor preparation

Ensuring your floor is properly prepared before a coating application is crucial if you want to enjoy the benefits of a successful floor coating, from polyurethane to epoxy. Preparation ensures strong coating adhesion and bonding, increasing the floor’s longevity while supporting its resistance to damage. This means a better quality and longer-lasting floor, all while looking seamless and professional.

Preparation ensures a smooth surface with no trip hazards in the form of bumps and cracks, offering a floor that is safer to use and stable for any vehicles and machinery in your property. Investing in thorough floor preparation saves you from costly bills and wasted time down the road, which can occur when coating applications don’t stick.

Polyurethane flooring vs epoxy

Polyurethane and epoxy flooring solutions share some significant benefits, such as durability, longevity, and curing times, but there are key differences that set them apart.

While epoxy gets its durability from its hard nature and strong compression strength, polyurethane is durable thanks to its superior flexibility, making it highly resistant to damage caused by movement. This flexibility also makes polyurethane more resistant to heat and temperature fluctuations, as it won’t expand or become brittle. This, and its UV resistance, is what makes polyurethane much more suited to outdoor settings than epoxy floorings.

Epoxy, however, is more resistant to extreme impact and harsher chemical spills, making it a popular choice in industries such as pharma and fuel. When it comes to curing time, polyurethane beats epoxy, as it can cure in hours and allows for operations to continue much faster.

We recommend polyurethane floor coatings instead of epoxy floorings when surface movement is a concern and if the floor will be exposed to UV lighting, sun, or temperature changes.

Our Process

We work to a clear, professional process for all of our services, including polyurethane floor coating applications.

1. Assess and inspect the floor

Our team places a strong emphasis on surface preparation, as we believe a floor coating is only as successful as the prep that comes beforehand. We assess and inspect the floor’s surface to identify any issues such as cracks, damage, or old coating layers that need attention.

2. Prepare, clean, and repair the surface

We thoroughly prepare the floor by cleaning it of dirt, grease, and contaminants, and carrying out any necessary repairs. This includes removing old coating layers and smoothing out imperfections to create a stable and consistent base for the new coating.

3. Protect the surrounding areas

We mask any areas, fixtures, and other features that don’t require coating to minimise cleanup once the work is complete.

4. Apply the floor coating

Once the surface is fully prepared and dry, we apply the chosen polyurethane coating using specialist equipment and industry-standard techniques. This ensures an even, durable finish that bonds correctly to the floor.

5. Final inspection and walk-through

After the coating has cured, we perform a detailed final inspection and walk-through with you. We check the finish, coverage, and overall quality, making sure you’re completely satisfied before sign-off.
