Benefits of Heavy Duty Iron Filled Urethane Floor Systems

Surface Solutions installs top-rated iron aggregate urethane concrete flooring systems that improve your workplace.

For an industrial facility with floors that must tolerate a great deal of weight, impact and traffic, the need for constant resurfacing can be costly. Continually moving machinery like forklifts increase the wear on concrete, resulting in erosion, crumbling surfaces, holes created from impacts and safety hazards. Regular concrete flooring cannot stand up to this abuse without a robust maintenance schedule for resurfacing.

Often, companies that use regular concrete or tile flooring are unaware of how much products like Ucrete IF and Flow Resin IF can radically improve their workplace. Concrete flooring systems like UCRETE® IF and Flow Resin Flowfresh® IF are specially designed for surfaces exposed to extreme work conditions. The “IF” stands for “iron filled,” which means metal aggregates are added to help the flooring withstand exceptionally heavy traffic, stress, impacts and abrasion. As a top UCRETE® Master Contractor and Flow Resin STAR Contractor, Surface Solutions has been installing these flooring systems for years with great success. With these products, our expert installers can truly make a facility’s crumbling unattractive floors look like new.

Polyurethane concrete and seamless resin flooring systems that contain metal aggregates are ideal solutions for working environments found in the food and beverage industry -including, meat, poultry and seafood processing, dairies, bottling plants and breweries- as well as the pharmaceutical and chemical processing industries. Commercial kitchens, restaurants, freezers and coolers also benefit from this type of flooring.
