How long does a resin floor installation take?
Many standard residential and commercial installations take around 2 to 4 days. The work can include mechanical diamond grinding, subfloor repairs and primer, application of the resin coat, followed by a protective topcoat and curing time. The exact programme depends on the floor and system.
Can resin flooring be installed over existing concrete or tiles?
It can be installed over suitable concrete, sand-and-cement screeds or existing ceramic tiles. The substrate needs to be checked and correctly prepared, typically including mechanical grinding and the appropriate primer, to support a reliable bond.
Is resin flooring compatible with underfloor heating?
Our resin and microcement systems can be specified for wet or electric underfloor heating. The floor build-up and heating system should be assessed as part of the project, and the heating operated in line with the system guidance.
Is resin flooring slippery for pets or wet commercial areas?
A smooth finish can be slippery when wet. Textured, anti-slip finishes can be specified for appropriate spaces. We can discuss the expected use and suitable finish during the site survey.
Why is mechanical diamond grinding important before installing resin?
Grinding removes weak surface material and contaminants and creates a suitable profile for the primer to bond to. Skipping proper preparation can increase the risk of peeling or delamination.
