FAQ's

What is the best resin flooring?

The best resin flooring depends on the requirements of the application, including traffic, chemical exposure, hygiene, slip resistance and the condition of the substrate. Sika offers a range of epoxy flooring systems designed for different industrial and commercial applications.

 

 

 

 

 

Are Sika epoxy floors resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and forklift traffic?

Sika epoxy flooring systems can provide resistance to abrasion, mechanical traffic and chemicals, depending on the specific product and system. This makes them suitable for many industrial environments where floors are exposed to forklifts, heavy traffic and chemical substances. The product data sheet should be consulted to confirm the resistance of a specific system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What are the main benefits of epoxy resin flooring compared to concrete or tiles?

Epoxy resin flooring provides a seamless, durable surface with good resistance to wear and, depending on the system, chemicals and mechanical traffic. Compared with traditional concrete surfaces, epoxy coatings can also provide a more uniform and easier-to-clean finish. The suitability of epoxy compared with tiles will depend on the requirements of the specific application.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is the difference between epoxy and polyurethane flooring?

Epoxy and polyurethane flooring systems offer durable, seamless flooring solutions, but their performance characteristics differ. Epoxy flooring is known for its hardness, durability and resistance to wear and chemicals, making it suitable for many industrial and commercial environments. Polyurethane flooring offers greater flexibility and can be well suited to areas exposed to temperature changes, impact and demanding cleaning conditions. The most suitable system depends on the requirements of the application.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which Sika Epoxy floor should I use in my warehouse?

The most suitable epoxy floor for a warehouse depends on factors such as traffic levels, forklift use, abrasion, chemical exposure and the condition of the existing floor. Sika offers epoxy flooring systems suitable for warehouses and logistics areas, including Sikafloor®-264 ZA.
For areas requiring anti-static properties, specialist systems such as Sikafloor®-262 AS N maybe considered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where can I use resin flooring?

Resin flooring can be used in a wide range of industrial and commercial environments, including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, food and beverage plants, pharmaceutical facilities, car parks and commercial buildings. The most suitable system will depend on the specific requirements of the area.

 

 

 

 

 

What are the benefits of epoxy resin flooring?

Epoxy resin flooring provides a durable, seamless surface that is suitable for areas exposed to regular traffic, wear and, depending on the system, chemical exposure. Epoxy flooring is also easy to clean and can be available in different finishes and colours to suit the application.

Which Sika Epoxy Resin should I use?
