What Is Factory Flooring?
Factory flooring refers to specialised flooring systems designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial environments. At LC Screeding, we offer factory flooring solutions that are durable and resistant to wear, abrasion, and chemical exposure.
Materials such as epoxy and polyurethane are commonly used due to their high performance in heavy-duty settings. Epoxy provides a hard-wearing surface that can withstand substantial loads, while polyurethane offers impact resistance and flexibility to absorb impacts without cracking.
We use advanced installation techniques such as power trowelling to achieve a smooth, level finish that contributes to operational safety and efficiency. Our installations are meticulously planned to ensure they meet health and safety regulations, including slip resistance standards and fire ratings, providing a reliable foundation for your operations.
Typical installation times vary depending on project size but generally range from two to three days. Contact us to discuss your specific factory flooring needs.
How Much Does Factory Flooring Cost?
Factory flooring typically costs between £50 and £120 per m². The exact cost depends on factors such as the type of materials used, the condition of the existing floor, and the specific requirements of your facility.
Materials like epoxy, polyurethane and polished concrete each provide distinct durability and chemical resistance levels, influencing the total cost. In addition, the installation method, such as trowel-applied systems or self-levelling compounds, can impact the pricing due to differences in labour and equipment needs.
Surface preparation, including shot blasting or diamond grinding, is crucial for ensuring optimal adhesion and can affect cost based on the floor's initial state. For detailed pricing, we assess each project individually to provide a customised quote.
Factors like load-bearing requirements and environmental considerations, such as temperature control, can also play a role. Contact us for an accurate estimate based on your specific needs.
