Industrial Flooring

When designing and constructing industrial floors, several factors must be taken into account. The most important consideration is the client’s requirement, which indicates whether a resin coating or a final surface is needed. It is not recommended to use surface hardeners on resin floors, as the hardened layer may delaminate.

For sub-floor coverings, surface hardening is also unnecessary, but it may be advantageous for strengthening final surfaces. There are several types of industrial floors:

1. Fiber-Reinforced Industrial Floor Slab:
   • Steel Fiber: The fibers are added during the mixing of concrete and are evenly distributed during transportation.
   • Plastic Fiber: Similarly, plastic fibers are used to reinforce the concrete.
2. Combination Floor: This type reinforces the floor with a combination of wire mesh and steel fibers, thus increasing stability.

Proper bedding construction is essential during execution. Placing two layers of foil, which functions as a floating layer, is crucial for preventing shrinkage and expansion. The bedding must be smooth and uniform to ensure the floor can be properly loaded, avoiding the formation of cracks.

These considerations contribute to the creation of durable and functional industrial floors.
