What Makes Polyaspartic Floors the Ideal Flooring for Supermarkets?
Supermarkets see a lot of foot (and cart) traffic that to say it needs to be durable is an understatement. In today’s post, Guardian Garage Floors takes a look at what makes polyaspartic flooring the best flooring for busy retail environments like supermarkets.
Durability
Let us first take a look at the primary requirement: durability. A typical supermarket serves about a few hundred customers a day, not to mention the corresponding number of shopping carts, staff, equipment and one or two accidents resulting in spilled liquids and broken product packaging. Polyaspartic floors are impervious to mud, grease and road salts; daily foot traffic is nothing compared to these conditions.
Low Maintenance
Not only are polyaspartic floors durable, they’re easy to clean and maintain. Mopping with diluted pH-neutral cleaning products is enough to clean polyaspartic floors. Spot-cleaning spills is just as easy, requiring nothing more than off-the-shelf floor cleaning products — no need to use abrasive brushes and corrosive products.
Aesthetic Appeal
Despite its rugged qualities, a supermarket floor with polyaspartic coatings is visually appealing. The layer under the polyaspartic coating is made of vinyl chips that are embedded to the base coat. You can choose virtually any colorway that fits your branding or interior color scheme. Once the outer coating is applied, the colors are sealed in and, with proper maintenance, will look just as beautiful throughout its life span.
Eco-Friendly
Choosing polyaspartic floors for your supermarket isn’t just a smart business decision; it’s also an environmentally responsible one. The materials used for building polyaspartic floors have low volatile organic compound (VOC) levels, which means they have minimal environmental impact. They also help maintain indoor air quality within the building. It’s also worth noting that, unlike epoxy-based flooring, polyaspartic flooring does not turn yellow from exposure to UV rays. Combined with its longer than average life span, re-flooring your supermarket will be few and far in between, making polyaspartic flooring the more sustainable choice.
