NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESSave Resin Flooring Headaches #RightMaintenance from FLOORChef A one-minute guide to save you resin flooring headaches #RightMaintenance Can I maintain the maintenance? The main question to ask yourself is - will I be able to stick to the maintenance regime required to give the resin floor the best chance of looking as good, performing as well and lasting as long as it should? If the answer is no, then another colour, finish or flooring type may be a better option. A weekly mop isn't always the answer! What does it take to maintain a resin floor? They will all benefit from regular cleaning and inspection, however the maintenance will vary depending on the type. For example, anti-slip floors need to be kept functional. An anti-slip floor that's clogged up with foodstuffs isn't going to protect anyone. The degree of anti-slip will also play a vital role in determining how you clean. Can you simply mop it or will you rely on brooming and flushing with water? A quick hint for those with a commercial kitchen - if the correct slip rating is used, you won't be able to mop! For the decorative and glossy resin floors, it's all about preserving the sheen. There are a few topcoat and treatment options to help reduce maintenance demands and choice of colour will also be influential, however a lot depends on good ol' fashioned TLC. Strictly observing good practices like lifting and not dragging furniture items, cleaning footwear, quickly detecting and repairing damage etc. will help your floor look better for longer. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer for a maintenance guide and consult with the applicator to make sure you're clear. Beware other trades An important note on floor care relates to the timing of application in relation to other trades. Putting down a resin floor before others get their chance may be convenient in some cases, however it may also mean it cops a fair bit of punishment before you even have a chance to step foot on it. If you have any questions about resin flooring maintenance, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Keep Smiling, Jack JosephsenHead FLOORChef |
