Advantages of modular flooring for industrial facilities
When it comes to industrial flooring, only concrete with topping, self-leveling floors, or industrial linoleum comes to mind. All these coatings are useful individually, but they have some disadvantages in the form of instability to certain types of mechanical, chemical, or thermal effects.
That is why it is worth taking into account the technical conditions when arranging enterprises. A competent approach to the choice of flooring can save money, effort, and time. We are nevertheless of the opinion that modular plastic tiles are the most optimal floor covering in rooms with high traffic of people and the presence of handling equipment.
• Why is plastic floor better than self-leveling floor?
Probably the most common coating in industrial facilities is a self-leveling polymer floor. The high-molecular composition of this material is characterized by a high binding of molecules. Due to that, they withstand the influence of external factors of aggression. But on the other hand, for the floor to withstand the increased load, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the floor covering and improve its waterproofing properties. In turn, this will require a lot of investment. The ready-made modular plastic tile is capable of withstanding considerable loads, so it does not need to be further improved. Also, it has a collapsible design, which makes it easy to install and dismantle, as well as replace damaged parts.
• Why is plastic floor better than concrete?
Topped concrete is the type of surface that can withstand particularly heavy loads. It would seem an ideal option for industrial facilities because resistance to loads is of great importance there. However, this material has its drawbacks. The main one is the fragility of the upper ball. Over time, unevenness and cracks form on concrete surfaces, which interfere with the correct functioning of the enterprise. Also, many rooms have a high level of humidity, which has a detrimental effect on this kind of coating. Concrete flooring is not a great option for chemical factories, as it will deteriorate faster under the influence of chemicals. Meanwhile, modular tiles are highly resistant not only to stress but also to moisture or chemicals. It is worth noting that it can also be installed on a concrete floor to extend its lifespan.
• Why is plastic floor better than industrial linoleum?
Industrial linoleum is highly sensitive to the moisture content of the base for its laying and its evenness. Industrial linoleum is a good coating, but only for rooms where the conditions are suitable for its finicky requirements. Of course, the conditions can be brought to the necessary, but this will lead to unnecessary costs. An alternative will be the tiles of the iMatrix series.
