When it comes to flooring options for industrial environments, polymer flooring is reliable choice, offering a tough and long-lasting surface that meets a variety of needs, depending on its specific technology and specification.
There’s more to polymer flooring than just being durable – it brings a whole range of performance benefits that make it ideally suited to heavy-duty environments… even those in industries with niche service requirements, such as chemical processing, aerospace and sensitive electronics manufacturing.
Making the most of these benefits relies heavily on keeping up with maintenance. A key part of this is having a good cleaning routine in place, one that not only keeps things hygienic and tidy but also suits the type of polymer flooring you have. Getting the most out of industrial resin flooring – and making sure it lasts – is, in part, about understanding and following an appropriate cleaning routine.
There are many reasons why maintaining an appropriate cleaning schedule should be considered a priority.
- Cost - there's always an associated cost, but neglecting your floor will incur a higher cost in the long run.
- Hygiene - In environments such as food processing, you need to be proactive in your approach to adhere to food safety protocols.
- Appearance - Wear & tear impacts your floor; daily spills and heavy foot traffic all contribute to deterioration over time.
- Longevity - Implement effective maintenance, for the right flooring type, and your should continue to perform at a high standard.
- Slip resistance - Clean floors are imperative to minimise slips and falls due to harbouring dust, dirt, and oils. Keep your staff members safe!
- Static control - Regular testing should be implemented to ensure a consistent static control.
The Vebro Polymers guide to cleaning polymer flooring outlines the typical methods and schedule for the upkeep of the following resin technologies… Of course, every floor is unique in its context, surroundings and usage, so while our Cleaning Guide provides valuable insights into general cleaning protocols, specific cleaning regimes should be developed dependent on the floor surface and service criteria.
