RSL has it covered

A poor flooring system can cause a number of problems which may not necessarily be obvious so it is important to consider a number of factors when choosing a flooring solution.

Leading UK resin flooring manufacturer RSLhas over 30 years of experience in providing the correct flooring solution for warehousing environments. RSL understands the importance of the specific requirements of these areas and has formulated a number of products with the ideal properties.

It is imperative that the floor within a warehouse is durable and able to meet the day to day demands of racking solutions, storing heavy items and the movement of heavy machinery including forklifts and conveyor systems. RSL provides a number of heavy duty resin coatings which have been proven to stand the test of time helping to reduce time and money spent on repairs and refurbishment.

 

RSL’s Resuscreed 43 is an extremely hard wearing screed system ideal for environments in need of high compressive strengths and  high levels of impact resistance. Resuscreed 43 will have higher compressive strengths than the concrete substrate beneath it.

Warehouse flooring is subject to strict Health & Safety requirements which need to be followed. The Workforce Health & Safety and Welfare Regulations 1992 state that surfaces should not have holes, or be uneven or slippery, and should be kept free from any article or substance which may cause a person to slip, trip or fall. Therefore it is important to keep an eye on the condition of the flooring within your environment .

A heavy duty resin product such as RSL’s epoxy coating Resucoat HB provides a tough, resilient surface which due to both its thickness and chemical & abrasion resistant properties, will last a number of years. 

With slips, trips and falls still hitting the top spot for injuries in the work place it is important that measures are taken to make the environment as safe as possible. Providing an anti-slip flooring system will help dramatically reduce the risk of injury in the workplace, an important factor for busy warehouse environments. Anti-slip finishes are achievable by adding aggregates such as, aluminium oxide or bauxite to Resucoat HB and other resin formulas. The addition of aggregates delivers a profiled surface which provides grip and traction for users within the area.

Resucoat HB is a popular choice for industrial environments because of its high build film thickness and durability that will last for years to come.

Ivy Wroe, managing director at RSL says: “We understand the importance of health & safety in warehouses and similar environments therefore this was one of the main factors considered when creating some of our formulas. We believe it is imperative to know all the different aspects of an area before we specify a product and over the years we have gained a lot of knowledge and experience of warehouse and industrial locations.”

With the use of fork lift trucks in industrial and warehouse environments, it is vital for walkways and traffic areas to be clearly marked. This is something that may need repeating over the years if the lines fade and become less clear.
 RSL’s Resuline is the ideal product for line marking these areas; this high build coating is very hard wearing and can be applied to a variety of surfaces. It is also a fast curing product, ideal for areas where a fast return to service is required.

It is always tempting to be influenced by price when purchasing, but when it comes to floors you need to consider what the life expectancy is. A resin may cost you more at the time than floor paint but the hard wearing properties mean it will last a lot longer before requiring repair.
