Warehouses

Without the proper floor, you only have half a warehouse

When you build a warehouse, you certainly need more from floor: durability, functionality and the ability to withstand heavy loads.

Silikal reactive resins based on esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid offer flooring systems for just such problem areas. Conventional concrete, cement screed or tiles laid in mortar are usually not capable of withstanding heavy industrial loads over time. In the long term, they react "acidically", meaning parts of the surface rub off. Cracks and holes then develop. In short, the entire floor begins to decay.

Warehouse floors are exposed to particularly extreme conditions, among them heavy loads arriving day and night as well as fork lift trucks and other vehicles moving costly goods from one place to another. Conventional screeds with insufficient surface protection quickly show signs of erosion and wear in areas with heavy traffic. These are the seeds of damage that can grow with lightening speed and result in high repair costs, downtimes and an increased risk of accidents.

One of the outstanding properties of Silikal reactive resin flooring systems is their resistance to wear-and-tear. Silikal manufactures a huge variety of different flooring systems and grades for a vast array of demands, substrates and requirements that can often differ substantially from one industry to another. When choosing the proper floor, Silikal experts offer their customers decades of experience in dealing with the flooring problems encountered in many different industries.
