Over years, floor finishes can become tired, worn and damaged, but solutions from flooring manufacturer Flowcrete make the introduction of a new floor at this time fuss free - and maintain the look and integrity of the floor for the long term.

A popular choice for refurbishment projects is Flowcrete's innovative two hour flooring concept Flowfast.

Utilising the latest in MMA resin technology, Flowfast is ready for use just two hours after installation, with the speed of application offering a wide range of benefits for clients.

Maintaining stringent hygiene standards across sectors including food and beverage processing is vital and another high technology system from Flowcrete delivers the power underfoot to give germs the slip.

Flowfresh is a seamless polyurethane resin floor finish, which contains the Polygiene® a special additive locked into the Flowfresh resin matrix, which emits silver ions to control bacteria and yeast on contact , including salmonella, E-coli and many others.

Ideal for the tough demands of the food and beverage processing sector, the system is used in areas including bakeries, dairies, industrial kitchens and catering units, as well as wet and dry processing zones.

Finally, Flowcrete provides hard-wearing, epoxy resin floors with a solid and strong surface to cope with the heaviest demands in industry, such as Flowcoat SF41, a coloured floor coating, used in manufacturing environments globally.

Ideal for refurbishing old, worn out surfaces, it helps create a smoother surface and is recognised for its speed of installation, and durability.

The self-leveling Flowshield SL system is also available. Able to cope with high traffic including trolley and rubber wheeled forklift trucks, Flowshield SL is quickly installed across a large floor area, and offers an hygienic, easy-to-maintain finish.

Francis Tan, General Manager of Flowcrete China, which has offices in Shanghai and Beijing, said: "A correctly specified floor will provide a safer, brighter, hard-wearing environment and aid safety on site, by helping to reduce the chances of slips and trips and supporting a well-structured workflow program, with the opportunity to introduce lineage and marked-out walkways within the floor design."
