The perfect floor for an industrial hall. 'Choose plastic'

Industrial halls require floors that are not only durable and functional, but also meet strict hygiene and safety requirements. Plastic floors, such as epoxy and polyurethane, offer an excellent solution for this. Director Roelof Kreeft of Kreeft Kunststofvloeren B.V. specializes in the application of synthetic floors and tells all about it.

With an impressive portfolio of concrete renovations, damp proofing, injection techniques, concrete reinforcements, swimming pool renovations and plastic flooring, Kreeft Betonrenovatie & Injectietechnieken can rightly be called a leading player in the construction industry. Based in Hoogeveen, the company has been working on large and small projects throughout the Netherlands for more than 40 years. 

"Over the past few decades, we've built up a loyal customer base," Kreeft says. "By providing years of good quality as well as good service, people know what they can get from us. Still a mistake? Then we always solve it!"

The benefits of plastic flooring

Choosing a suitable floor in an industrial hall is not always easy. Yet there is one constant factor that proves to be the solution in many cases: plastic flooring. Plastic floors offer a number of major advantages. For example, they are not only durable and resistant to various chemical and mechanical influences, but also very easy to maintain.

Kreeft explains: "If you're going to furnish a warehouse completely, you don't want to clear it out again within a few years because it needs a new floor. A plastic floor will last for years if you treat it properly. In addition, they offer protection against damage and have an aesthetic function. Do you want a floor that is easy to clean and protects against outside influences? Then choose plastic."

A versatile floor

Plastic floors are versatile and can be used in a variety of environments. Kreeft Betonrenovatie & Injectietechnieken applies plastic floors to balconies, galleries, stairwells, parking garages and car washes, among other things. And thanks to their longevity and versatility, these floors are therefore also highly suitable for industrial complexes. 

Thorough preparation

Installing plastic flooring is a careful and time-consuming process. First, the substrate must be thoroughly prepared. This is because the floor must be rough enough for the primer coat to adhere properly. The preparation can take as much time as the installation itself, especially if there are still damages and unevennesses in the substrate that need to be repaired or repaired first. After all, a good start is half the battle.

Kreeft Plastic Flooring also often works with fast-curing coating systems to reduce turnaround time. For substrates that are prone to cracking, Kreeft uses crack-bridging reinforced coatings to prevent the top layer from being damaged by movement in the substrate.
