From steel plants, to abattoirs, to dairy plants to medical labs and school cafeterias, commercial flooring of different compositions is required in order to meet certain standards of safety and functionality.

A good example is the heavy duty type of flooring and surfacing. This type is used when you need the best in long-term wear and tear, or service life, available and also to provide protection for the under flooring when the work environment is aggressive when it comes to use and equipment. This kind of flooring usually comes textured in either fine, medium or coarse grains to provide traction and comes in a range of formulations like epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyurethane among others. Usually put in for the harshest conditions, you'll find heavy duty flooring in industries like drink processing plants, factories, and battery rooms.

A type of flooring that isn't quite as tough is High Build Epoxy for both walls and floors. This is sort of medium duty surfacing that provides a good life expectancy in service life, while keeping the costs reasonable. You can get this type of floor in non-slip textures - again with fine, medium or coarse grains, and combining the surfaces available with self smoothing, epoxy mortar coverings, or high build Epoxy you're going to get a really high quality finish. You will find these kinds of floors, walls or surfaces in warehouses, packaging rooms, and car servicing areas to name a few.

When it comes to laboratories, schools, hallways, and the like, the best type of flooring is known as vinyl chip floor coating. This kind of floor is where you get a base coat of pigment epoxy that is overlaid with multi-colored, decorative vinyl chips that are set in a clear resin. These floors are usually slip resistant, however you can get them in non-slip for areas where this is critical for functionality. This type of flooring is very cost effective and long wearing with little to no maintenance needed.

Floor repairs can be accomplished in a variety of ways depending on the flooring that is being used. A relatively new product that is being used in Australia for cool rooms or freezers or warehouses that cannot stop production in order to do the repairs. That product is a rapid setting polymer that can withstand a temperature as low as -43C, and it will set up to be solid for continued traffic within one hour. This rapid setting polymer can also be used for repairs of expansion joints or concrete slabs.
