Polyurethane Systems

Characteristics

  • Durability and Toughness

    Similar to epoxy, polyurethane floors are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, scratches, and abrasions. They can withstand high foot traffic and hold up well in demanding environments.

  • Excellent Chemical Resistance

    Polyurethane offers good chemical resistance to a range of chemicals, including some acids, alkalis, and oils. While not quite as extensive as epoxy's resistance, it's still suitable for many commercial and industrial applications.

  • UV Resistance

    Polyurethane resin floors have superior UV resistance compared to epoxy. This makes them a good choice for areas with exposure to sunlight, such as sunrooms, garages with open windows.

Benefits

Polyurethane resin floors offer a multitude of benefits that make them a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.

  • Flexibility

    A key advantage of polyurethane is its slightly greater flexibility compared to epoxy. This makes it more forgiving and better suited for areas that experience temperature fluctuations or slight subfloor movement. This flexibility also reduces the risk of cracking.

  • Easy Maintenance

    Like epoxy, polyurethane floors have a seamless, non-porous surface that's easy to clean and maintain. Dirt, debris, and spills can be easily wiped or mopped away.

Choosing polyurethane flooring

When deciding between epoxy and polyurethane resin floors, consider the specific needs of your space and the benefits each type of flooring offers. Also consider the following factors:

  • Aesthetics

    Polyurethane resin floors come in a variety of colors and finishes, including high-gloss or matte options. Similar to epoxy, decorative chips or flakes can be incorporated for a customized look.

  • Fast Curing

    Some polyurethane formulations offer faster curing times compared to standard epoxy. This can be advantageous in situations where minimal downtime is crucial.

  • Safety Options

    Similar to epoxy, safety versions of polyurethane flooring with textured finishes are available to enhance slip resistance in moisture-prone areas.

Polyurethane resin floors are a versatile and attractive option, offering durability, good chemical resistance, easy maintenance, and the ability to handle some movement or UV exposure. They are a great choice for a variety of interior and exterior applications.
