Floor covering for the warehouse: selection rules

Floor coverings in warehouses must meet certain requirements, since the intensity of operation there is very high. Loaded loaders weighing up to 10 tons also travel in warehouses, and there are racks with products whose weight is quite difficult to determine. All this creates a strong pressure on the surface and, of course, ordinary bare concrete will not withstand such a weight.

What kind of flooring is suitable for warehouses? Let's tell you now.

What are the options for flooring for warehouses?

Among the many options for floor coverings for warehouses, the most suitable are:

• Concrete, reinforced, for example, with liquid impregnation, dry topping or varnish;
• Polymer;
• Polymer cement;
• Epoxy;
• Polyurethane.

Each type of coating has its advantages and disadvantages. When choosing one or another type, you need to start from your budget and the desired result.

Comparison of reinforced concrete coating with polymer

Concrete floor with impregnation or topping will be a super durable coating for several decades. But at the same time, the appearance of the floor will be the most common (although there is not much need for an exquisite decorative coating for a warehouse).

But the polymer floor will always please the eye, as it is possible to create a very beautiful perfectly smooth smooth coating. There are no questions about wear resistance and strength, especially using a high-quality material like Teknobond 500. But at the price of such a self-leveling floor, it will turn out to be several times more expensive in comparison with a conventional topping coating, for example, quartz.

Ideal floor covering for a warehouse

The ideal floor covering is a coating that meets all the requirements of a particular type of warehouse. All existing warehouses have several classifications:

• For the purpose of warehouses there are universal, industrial, industrial and others;
• The classes are divided into A, B, C and D;
• For the type of construction: open and closed.

We take into account each of the classifications, calculate our budget and choose the material. And if you have difficulties with the choice, you can always trust the professionals.
