In any warehouse or manufacturing space it is essential to have a stable surface on which to work. That means having a hard-wearing, level and non-slip floor that is safe for all machinery use and operatives, even in high traffic areas. Floors ideally need to be resistant to extremes of temperature, crack and scratch resistant, and in specific environments (such as medical or commercial kitchens) they need to be bacteria resistant and non-toxic.

Warehouse spaces are typically very high traffic, with a large amount of footfall and pallet or forklift truck use, as well as heavy machinery. So, it is essential you have a floor that can stand up to the task. That’s where resin flooring comes in. This is a very hard wearing surface that does not feature any joins, which means no weak spots and no places for bacteria and dirt to gather. It is resistant to heat and chemicals, as well as being non-slip and non-toxic. It’s why it is the floor surface of choice for an increasing number of healthcare, culinary and other specific industries. Additionally, this is why an increasing number of manufacturing businesses are choosing it, as it offers exceptional return on investment thanks to its longevity and durability. But the key question that many business owners ask is how much does it cost for a resin floor?

Cost Of Resin Flooring

Of course, the overall cost of a new resin floor will depend on the size and shape of the surface to be covered, as well as the exact choice of resin and requirements of the project. There are also the preparation costs to consider, as it may be necessary to remove existing floor surfaces or clean to ensure a good adhesion. As with any project like this, better preparation will lead to a better and more long-lasting finish so it’s not worth cutting corners at this point.

In general, the cost of epoxy flooring can range between £12.50 to £38.00 per square metre. But this will depend on the system and installation complexity, with more complicated prep work pushing costs towards the higher end of the scale.

It’s also worth remembering that not all resin floors are created equal, and some come with high performance features which will generally cost more. For example, high-performance polyurethane flooring generally costs between £50 to £100 per square metre. However, with these higher costs comes longer-lasting durability to improve your return on investment.

How Long Do Resin Floors Last

The lifespan of a resin floor will vary according to a number of factors, including the thickness, use and maintenance levels. The thicker the floor, the longer it will last, as a general rule. However, you can expect a resin floor to last between 10 and 20 years before needing to be replaced. There is also much less need for maintenance and upkeep than there would be with some other materials.
