Are you choosing flooring materials for your next workwear project (warehouse, factory, showroom, or commercial space)? While tiles are a common choice, an increasing number of engineers, project managers, and owners are opting for high-performance floor coating systems for their industrial and commercial projects.
1. Completely seamless and hygienic
Floor coating: forms a completely seamless, smooth overall surface. This means there are no gaps to hide dust, bacteria, moisture, or pollutants. This is crucial for industries (food, pharmaceuticals, electronics) that adhere to strict hygiene standards such as GMP, HACCP, ISO.
Tiles: The grout lines between the tiles are a breeding ground for dirt and bacteria, making them difficult to clean thoroughly and requiring frequent and costly maintenance to keep them sanitary.
2. Excellent durability and impact resistance
Floor coatings: Designed to withstand extreme industrial environments. Our system has high impact resistance, wear resistance, and compressive strength, easily withstanding the impact of forklifts, heavy machinery, and dropped tools without cracking.
Ceramic tile: Ceramic tiles are hard but fragile. They can easily crack, shatter, or chip around the edges when subjected to a heavy impact. Replacing a single tile is not only troublesome, but it is also difficult to match the color with the old tiles, affecting aesthetics.
3. Higher safety performance
Floor paint: We can customize the surface texture to provide excellent slip resistance, effectively preventing slip accidents even in oily or wet environments. In addition, the seamless surface eliminates the risk of tripping.
Tiles: The surface of tiles, especially smooth tiles, can become very slippery after coming into contact with water or oil. The edges of cracked tiles can also pose safety hazards.
4. Cost-effectiveness and installation efficiency
Floor coating: Faster installation, especially for large area projects. It is directly poured onto the concrete substrate, eliminating the hassle of multiple layers of materials. A longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements mean a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Tiles: The installation process takes a long time and requires preparation of the substrate, application of adhesive, precise laying, and grouting. Both material costs and labor costs can be high.
5. Unparalleled customization and aesthetics
Floor paint: Offers endless design possibilities. You can choose any color to create brand logos, functional zoning (color coding), driveways, or even complex decorative patterns. The surface can be glossy, matte, or textured.
Tiles: The design choices are limited to the size, color, and shape of the available tiles. It is difficult to achieve a truly unique or seamless overall design.
6. Easy maintenance and long lifespan
Floor coating: Seamless surfaces can be easily cleaned with simple sweeping, mopping, or automatic floor washing machines to look as good as new. It is resistant to chemical corrosion, can withstand oil, grease, and cleaning chemicals, and maintains its appearance for many years.
Tiles: The grout can get dirty and moldy, requiring frequent scrubbing or re-grouting to maintain a clean appearance, leading to high maintenance costs.
7. Excellent load support performance
Floor paint: The floor paint system combines with the concrete base to form a whole, jointly bearing the load without causing hollow sounds.
Tiles: The weight and vibration of heavy equipment may cause the adhesive under the tiles to fail, resulting in loose tiles or hollow spots.
