A resin floor will generally arrive on site in a combination of buckets and aggregates on a pallet, which are then mixed in something resembling a small cement mixer. The resultant wet mix is then tipped onto the floor, “trowelled” out by the contractor, and left to cure.
The main benefit of a resin floor is that, when professionally laid, it is locked both mechanically and chemically to the underlying substrate, becoming an integral part of the building structure and giving a hardwearing, long lasting surface. Apart from incorporating necessary structural movement joints it is seamless, providing a smooth easy to clean surface with no joints where dirt can build up.
Choices range from the textured to very smooth, from plain to patterned and from matt to highly reflective.
