Industrial paints aren’t just for aesthetics. Does a fresh coat of paint look nicer and cleaner? Absolutely. But it also prevents corrosion and acts as a barrier, protecting the surface from moisture, dampness, chemicals, rust, mold, etc. #industrialpainting #commercialpainting #commercialflooring #commercialpaintingsolutions

Tips On Maintaining Your New Resin Floor Many of our clients ask us how to maintain their new resin floor. Regular maintenance will increase the longevity of the resin floor and give you the confidence that your investment was worthwhile. FerFa, the Resin Flooring Association has some excellent advice on maintaining a rigorous cleaning routine for your resin floors We’ve put together some top tips from their resources and our knowledge to help you to create a strict resin floor cleaning regime in your business.  Daily Cleaning: Resin flooring is one of the most durable and hardwearing flooring systems you can consider. The unique properties of resin flooring make it ideal for a variety of industrial and commercial uses, be it food and drink manufacturing, engineering, warehouses, hospitals or prisons. The list goes on! For the performance properties of resin to work at their best, an appropriate cleaning regime should be put in place and followed, as soon as the floor has fully cured. Different factors will determine this regime – this could be the type of resin installed, the frequency of traffic and the standards of hygiene that must be adhered to.  Resin floors are designed to be high performing. Thoroughly washing your resin floor each week will keep the surface clean.  In most cases, resin floors don’t need much more than a sweep and a mop day to day, but this should still be an essential part of your daily cleaning routine. Removing any bits of dust, dirt or debris from the floor’s surface will keep it free of scratches and minimise wear and tear.    Resin floors won’t produce dust but other sources may leave dust to settle on them. Heavy traffic and machinery may disperse pieces of grit. Removing this dust, dirt or debris from the floor’s surface will minimise wear and tear.   Warm water and a flat microfibre mop or scouring pad will be sufficient for ‘mopping up’ but for a more rigorous cleaning routine, these won’t cut it.  For the other tips, check out our blog https://lnkd.in/enBjjRgT

There is a wide range of aggregates you may consider for a terrazzo floor. If you are seeking a reflective or recycled material, then single-side mirror glass may be a great option. TERRAZZCO Brand Products offers several mirror glass chips. Here are some design tips to maximize its impact: 1) For this particular aggregate, one side of the chip has a mirror backing. When installed, either the reflective or non-reflective side is facing up. If a client desires more reflection in a terrazzo floor, our representatives can advise how much mirror glass should be added to get a desired result. 2) Mirror glass pairs well with light. Placing terrazzo floors in areas with ample light sources can help add depth and interest to the floor. 3) Pair mirror with other aggregates like marble chips. This creates a nice balance without the terrazzo floor feeling too busy. Consider sizing too. Small sizes of mirror glass can be scattered which creates a subtle effect. #terrazzo #terrazzodesign #interiordesign #ntma #architects #glass
