Course Title - Resinous Flooring – Everything You Need to Know, Without Reading the Manual
Course Length - 1 Hour
Course Date - Available Online, 24/7
Cost - Free of charge
Course Description:

Provides an overview of resinous flooring systems and introduces how appropriate site evaluation, including recognition of moisture-related issues, as well as substrate preparation and product selection, can contribute to a safer and healthier facility for individual end users and the community as a whole. Presentation of chemistry, industry standards, case studies and application best practices demonstrates how today’s resinous flooring, whilst meeting the most stringent environmental regulations, offers greater durability, performance and aesthetics than ever before.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the different types of resinous flooring in use today and the many unique benefits contributing to environmental sustainability and end user health and safety. Explain how new "hybrid" floors combine superior industrial performance with outstanding decorative appeal in the same customisable surface. Be able to characterise materials by installation method and polymer type.
Discuss the pre-construction decisions that can extend the life of new concrete slabs and/or allow for existing slab renovation and reuse. Understand how thoughtful selection of durable and impervious resinous flooring prevents dangerous contaminants from leaching through the porous concrete into surrounding soil and community groundwater.
Recognise the sustainable performance, as well as health benefits of resinous flooring in terms of its 1) Ability to control concrete "dusting", easing strain on air filtration systems and improving overall air quality; 2) "Seamless" nature, offering bacteria few places to hide and allowing for improved hygiene and sanitation; 3) Highly reflective floor finish options, reducing the need for additional lighting and energy consumption; 4) Zero to very low VOC content.
Use typical applications and case studies involving resinous flooring slip-resistance, static dissipation, recycled content and locally sourced component options, as well as systems' various chemical, abrasion, impact and thermal shock resistance properties, in designing durable, eco-friendly spaces that help safeguard inhabitants.

As a family owned business since 1952, Florock has always taken its envronmental responsibilities seriously. We will assist designers and specifying authorities by striving to ensure that all Florock products are manufactured and packaged with optimum sustainability in mind.

Environmental Quality

Almost all florock products meet or exceed volatile organic compound (VOC) legislation for flooring mortar and coating systems. A high proportion of our systems, including the popular Floropoxy range, are 100% solids, solvent free materials.

Material and Resources

Construction Waste Management
Florock offers many packaging options to reduce site waste. The majority of our metal and plastic cans and drums are recyclable along with the cardboard outer packaging.

Re-cycled Content
Florock's new Eco-Blend products have been formulated to include between 25% and 33% post-consumer recycled glass.

Building Reuse
Some of Florock's high performance resin mortar systems, such as FloroBuild and Florocrete, can be used to rehabilitate existing flooring systems. In addition, a high proportion of Florock's specialist coatings systems can be installed over existing schemes.

Specifications for Florock polymer flooring systems are available in PDF, DOC and DOCX Formats

It’s easy to forward a link for the desired specification to your designer. If you wish to custom modify one of these standard specs, simply contact us.
