Do you need to renovate the flooring of your storage area, your warehouse, your production area or your workshop?

Choose a special warehouse floor covering for optimum safety and performance. Because a warehouse floor must meet important requirements, the choice of the latter is not to be taken lightly.

Indeed, during construction or a renovation, you must imperatively take into account the various parameters which play a determining role in the choice of the industrial floor such as the repeated passage of forklifts, trucks or even machines.

Material handling, the flow of pedestrians throughout the day, the storage of heavy goods, or even the explosion of chemicals or acids spilled or used for cleaning.

It is therefore very important that you choose a warehouse floor that is suitable for these conditions and your business.

Among the options available to you, you can choose a floor cast in epoxy resin or polyurethane, a concrete floor or even a PVC tile floor. These three-floor coverings have significant advantages.

Concrete for your warehouse floor

Concrete is undoubtedly the most economical type of coating on the market. It is inexpensive, resistant to heavy loads, and allows you to cover a large area.

However, concrete does generate dust, which can be a big drawback, especially if you are storing items for sale. In addition, concrete is sensitive to moisture and will show cracks over the years.

A feature that may prove to be incompatible with the movement of machinery and machines, since the ground, due to its irregularities (cracks, holes, bumps, etc.), can be the source of accidents.

Epoxy or polyurethane resin for your warehouse flooring

Epoxy or polyurethane resin is a sturdy floor covering that resists heavy flow, but still has the disadvantage of requiring complex installation.

Indeed, the installation of resin flooring in a warehouse is a delicate task, which it is essential to have carried out by an industrial flooring professional. Indeed, the surface must be in perfect condition, without roughness or imperfection.

The floor in your warehouse should be level and completely dry. Before applying the epoxy or polyurethane resin layer, the warehouse floor must also undergo a leveling (make the surface even).

All these steps slow down the installation of your resin floor. In addition, one must also take into account the drying time of the resin, which in some cases can make it impossible to open the store or warehouse sales area quickly.

You must, in case of renovation of a goods storage warehouse, provide a temporary storage place, until the epoxy resin or polyurethane floor is passable.

A PVC flooring tile for your warehouse

Finally, the PVC tile warehouse floor is the best solution. Indeed, this material combines all the qualities of other floor coverings available on the market.

PVC floor tiles are robust and perfectly resistant to the dense and intense flow of heavy loads such as machines, forklifts, warehouse trolleys, etc.

With a lifespan of more than 30 years, warehouse floors in PVC tiles are profitable and allow you to equip your premises in the long term.

The maintenance of PVC tiles is very simple, they can be cleaned simply with a rotary scrubber, for large areas, or with a simple mop. No need to use abrasive detergents, even if the PVC in your warehouse floor is treated to resist most organic and inorganic acids, mineral oils and detergents.

In addition, the installation of this type of warehouse flooring is the easiest and fastest. The tiles come in the form of puzzle pieces and fit into each other.

A configuration that allows the tiles to be quickly assembled together. Unlike resin or concrete, no drying time is necessary, and you can walk on the ground right after placement.

In addition, its gradual installation allows you to continue to store your merchandise and sales items for the duration of the renovation.

Note: if a tile were to be damaged, nothing could be simpler than replacing it.

The tiles can be installed on any type of old covering such as tiling, concrete, stone … A clean surface is sufficient to accommodate this new covering, regardless of the quality of the floor, since the tiles can cover irregular or damp substrates.
