Well, if you have any plans to establish a place where the floor is going to be under immense pressure, you should understand the fact that common flooring systems will not be of any benefit to you. You should consider urethane cement flooring.

If you simply go with common cement flooring, there will be a lot of complications for you that you will have to sort out.

For example,

• The cleaning of the place will always be an issue.
• Even after cleaning up, chances of contamination would always be there.

So If you are going to establish a place where there will be a lot of pressure on your floor, you need that extra cushion to your floor. That extra cushion will provide stability and strength to flooring and make it good enough to face the music of high thermal shock and potentially high impact abuse.

The question now arises that under such conditions, what is your best option?

Well, Urethane Cement Flooring is the way to go if you want to provide that power and stability to your floor.

1. Modified Urethane
2. Portland cement
3. Fine minerals
4. Water

This brilliant combination makes it a great choice for a flooring system that needs to provide strength and stability.

Urethane cement flooring was originally designed for food and beverage industries to manage the daily wash downs.

Before its installation, the floor used to get deteriorated and was not easy to manage as well. It was also full of bacteria and other microorganisms that were the cause of a lot of diseases.

This combination of Urethane cement flooring came as a lifesaver for the food and beverage industry and it was accepted with open arms because it was the perfect flooring system for such hard conditions.

There are some other options as well that are used as flooring systems and a lot of people utilize them also.

Out of all those options, the most famous and highly used, and recommended floor system is the traditional Epoxy floor system.

Epoxy flooring systems work on a simple basic principle. It involves mixing two liquids together to create a reaction that provides strength and durability.

This reaction that is a result of the mixing two liquids helps to give excellent coating and also helps to give a great sheen to the floor.

However, the working principle of the Urethane flooring system is totally different from the epoxy flooring system.

It involves the usage of mixing of two liquids with common cement and as a result, a solid surface is created that helps to absorb thermal shocks of highest intensity and they also don't either away with time and abuse.

It has been proved by studies and experiments that Urethane cement flooring gives four times more durability and strength than normal epoxy flooring systems.

That is why you should always go with a much stronger and durable option of Urethane cement flooring.

Self-leveling application:

Self-leveling applications only require spreading the cement over a surface and it adjusts its shape itself. The application only requires a few people, but the downside is that it is not as durable as the other two options.

Roller applied:

The experts from our team spread the flooring material through rollers that end up in seamless, water-resistant flooring for the toughest areas.

Trowel applied:

Pour the composite material on the floor and use trowels to spread the material for an excellent finish.

We can take a survey of your floor to see which type of application will work for your floor.

Polyurethane Comfort Floors or highly flexible polyurethane self-leveling floors to be more exact are noise-resistant, comfortable under-the-foot alternatives that come in many colors.

They are Polyurethane in residential as well as commercial environments to give a noiseless, comfortable flooring option to the users.

Given their smooth finish, they are pretty easy to maintain and clean, so there's no question about hygiene.

The Characteristics and Benefits

Smooth, best underfoot, low emission, easy to clean and maintain, hygienic.

Typical uses:

Used in internal spaces that require a clean, and well-maintained look.

Screed is a different polyurethane flooring option. Polyurethane screed differs from Polyurethane Comfort Flooring in that it is most typically utilized in commercial settings including warehouses and the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

A Polyurethane flooring solution has the advantage of being able to handle heavy wear and is resistant to chemical loading and temperature changes. Additionally, Polyurethane screed can be coated with rough aggregate to provide a more slip-resistant flooring surface. However, these floors are made of aromatic polyurethane, which is a low-cost polyurethane that is not UV-resistant, thus any sections exposed to direct sunlight should expect a yellowing effect over time.

UV-resistant

UV resistant Polyurethane floors are specifically resistant against UV light, so even on continuous exposure to sunlight, these floors do not lose their color. You will not see the yellowing of the floor even after years.

High Elasticity

For surfaces that are uneven, a more elastic Polyurethane floor is the best option. After the application, the users will not experience noise when they walk.

Decorative

Best suited for areas that need an aesthetic appeal. However, the beautiful looks do not fade out the durability. These floors are available in many colors.

Liquid-tight

No seepage, hence no wear and tear.

The first step of the application is to check the substrata thoroughly. To fill the cracks, a primer coat or a scratch coat is done, so that there are no hidden cracks in the final application of flooring.

Now, when the Polyurethane flooring is applied, there are a number of sealer options available in the market to lock everything in place.

These sealers will provide resistance against seepage and damage.

The usual thickness is 2-3mm

In some instances, these Polyurethane floors are also called liquid vinyl floors.
