8 specific types of flooring applications:
Resin flooring is classified into eight specific types, each having their own particular performance characteristics, varying in thickness and surface finish as follows:
Type 1 - Floor Seal
Applied in two or more coats.
Light Duty.
Up to 150 µm thickness.
Type 2 - Floor Coating
Applied in two or more coats.
Light Duty / Medium Duty.
Between 150 µm to 300 µm thickness.
Type 3 - High Build Floor Coating
Applied in two or more coats.
Medium Duty .
Between 300 µm to 1000 µm thickness.
Type 4 - Multi - Layer Flooring
Aggregate dressed systems based on multiple layers of floor coatings or flow-applied floorings, often described as ‘sandwich’ systems.
Medium Duty / Heavy Duty.
> 2 mm thickness.
Type 5 - Flow Applied Flooring
Often referred to as ‘self-smoothing’ or ‘self-levelling’ flooring and has a smooth surface.
Medium Duty / Heavy Duty.
2 mm to 3 mm thickness.
Type 6 - Resin Screed Flooring
Trowel-finished, heavily filled systems, generally incorporating a surface seal coat to minimise porosity.
Medium Duty / Heavy Duty.
> 4 mm thickness.
Type 7 - Heavy Duty Flowable Flooring
Has a smooth surface.
Heavy Duty / Very Heavy Duty.
4 mm to 6 mm thickness.
Type 8 - Heavy Duty Resin Flooring
Trowel-finished, aggregate filled systems effectively impervious throughout their thickness.
Very Heavy Duty.
> 6 mm thickness.
Benefits of using AEA (QLD) applications:
The benefits of using Accredited Epoxy Applicators P/L flooring applications over other market products becomes apparent when a comparison is carried out.
As an example of how effective our applications are, the following table demonstrates clearly the advantages in using epoxy based flooring:
