Technical floors

• Safety

  A top priority for marine flooring. Slip resistance is crucial to prevent falls, especially in areas prone to water, oil, or grease. Many marine floors incorporate textured surfaces or achieve slip resistance through additives or coatings. Fire safety is also important, with some floors having fire-retardant properties.

• Durability

  Marine environments are tough on floors. They need to withstand heavy foot traffic, impact from machinery, exposure to saltwater, and cleaning chemicals. Marine technical floors are made from robust materials like epoxy resins, polyurethane resins, or high-quality plastics chosen for their strength and resistance to wear and tear.

• Water Resistance

  Water is ever-present on ships. Marine floors should be water resistant to prevent swelling, warping, or deterioration. Some floors may even be completely waterproof for areas like bilges or wet rooms.

• Easy Maintenance

  Keeping floors clean on a ship is essential. Marine technical floors should be easy to clean and maintain. Their seamless surfaces minimize places for dirt and bacteria to hide, and many are resistant to common cleaning chemicals.

• Weight Considerations

  Every pound counts on a ship. Some marine floors use lightweight materials or optimized designs to minimize weight without sacrificing performance.

• Aesthetics

  While not the top priority, aesthetics can play a role. Marine technical floors come in a variety of colors and finishes to create a clean and professional appearance in crew and passenger areas.

• Epoxy Resin Floors

  Highly durable and chemical resistant, ideal for areas with heavy traffic or exposure to chemicals like engine rooms or workshops.

• Polyurethane Resin Floors

  Offer good durability with more flexibility than epoxy, suited for areas with temperature changes or slight movement like passageways or accommodation areas.

• Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT)

  A cost-effective option for dry areas like offices or cabins.

• Rubber Flooring

  Provides excellent slip resistance and noise dampening, often used in wet areas like galleys or bathrooms.

• A-60 Floating Floors

  A special type of floor system designed for fire resistance and sound reduction. They are often used on interior decks and comply with strict fire safety regulations.

• Area of Use

  Consider traffic levels, exposure to moisture or chemicals, and fire safety requirements.

• Material Properties

  Evaluate durability, water resistance, slip resistance, and maintenance needs.

• Weight Considerations

  Choose a lightweight option if weight is a critical factor.

• Budget

  Marine technical floors vary in cost depending on material and features.

• Aesthetics

  Select a color and finish that complements the overall design of the space.

By prioritizing safety, durability, and functionality, marine technical floors ensure a safe, clean, and long-lasting surface for ships operating in the demanding marine environment.
