FAQ's
PU flooring is generally installed over a suitably prepared concrete substrate. The installation process typically involves preparing the substrate, applying the appropriate primer or base layer, and installing the selected polyurethane flooring system and finish. Requirements vary between systems, so the relevantSika product data sheet and application instructions should be followed.
Once installed, PU flooring is relatively straightforward to maintain. Regular cleaning helps to remove dirt and contaminants, while periodic inspections can identify areas requiring attention before they become more serious. Maintenance requirements will depend on the flooring system and the conditions of use.
Polyurethane flooring can provide good resistance to abrasion and a range of chemicals, depending on the system selected. This makes certain polyurethane systems suitable for industrial environments where floors are exposed to mechanical wear or chemical substances. The relevant product data sheet should be consulted to confirm resistance to specific chemicals.
Yes. Polyurethane flooring systems can be suitable for car parks and other areas exposed to vehicle traffic, abrasion and weathering. Sika offers polyurethane systems designed for car park applications, including systems for areas such as parking decks and garage floors.
Certain polyurethane flooring systems have crack-bridging properties and can accommodate movement in the substrate. Sika systems such as Sikafloor®-3240 and Sikafloor®-376 are designed for applications where flexibility and crack bridging are important. The suitability of a system will depend on the type and extent of movement or cracking.
Yes. Sika offers polyurethane flooring systems designed for demanding industrial environments exposed to traffic, mechanical wear and other challenging conditions. The appropriate system should be selected according to the level of traffic, impact, abrasion, chemical exposure and other requirements of the application.
Polyurethane flooring can be suitable for environments exposed to temperature variation, particularly where the floor also needs to accommodate movement and withstand mechanical or thermal stresses. The appropriate system depends on the expected temperature range, type of exposure and other conditions of the application.
