Industrial workplaces encompass a diverse range of businesses and organisations. But what they generally have in common is the need for specialist safety flooring.
Due to the number of injuries that can occur in an industrial setting, strict health and safety regulations require businesses to install flooring appropriate to their environment.
Fortunately, there is a vast range of specialist safety flooring solutions that can cater for every industrial sector.
What type of safety flooring do you need?
The type of specialist flooring you require will depend on your industry. But whatever your working environment, you’ll need a safe and strong floor.
Vinyl, linoleum, rubber, and carpet tiles are just some of the flooring solutions that can be used in an industrial setting.
Vinyl and rubber flooring are used when there is intense activity and a high footfall. As well as being durable and water-resistant, they’re also soft and warm underfoot for a more comfortable workplace. Another advantage of vinyl and rubber surfaces is that they’re simple to maintain, and dirt and spillages can be mopped up quickly.
Protective coatings and surfaces can be used on vinyl and rubber to give them additional benefits. For example, you may need an anti-bacterial surface to ensure workplace hygiene.
