What is Resin Screed Flooring?
Resin screed flooring is a modern innovative flooring solution made by mixing resin with small aggregates to create a smooth, durable surface. Once cured, it provides a seamless (no weeds!), hard-wearing finish that is both visually appealing and long-lasting. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial flooring, driveways, garages, warehouses, and public spaces due to its strength and durability. To ensure this type of flooring lives up to its name, resin screed flooring testing is required.
Why Testing is Essential for Resin Screed Flooring
Resin screed flooring is exposed to constant wear and environmental conditions, making it crucial to assess its performance through standardised testing. Key reasons for testing include:
Ensuring Durability: Verifies the material’s ability to withstand heavy foot traffic, mechanical loads, and environmental stress without cracking or degrading.
Quality Control: Identifies inconsistencies in the mix that may affect long-term performance.
Permeability Assessment: Confirms that the surface allows for adequate drainage to prevent water damage, especially in driveways and outdoor installations.
Load-Bearing Strength: Determines the flooring’s resistance to compressive and flexural stresses, ensuring it can handle daily use in high-traffic areas such as factories, car parks, and pedestrian zones.
The Role of BS EN 13892-2 in Resin Screed Flooring Testing
To ensure resin screed flooring maintains its strength and appearance over time, it must meet industry standards for compressive and flexural strength. BS EN 13892-2 is the key standard used in resin screed flooring testing, ensuring:
- Structural Integrity: Confirms that resin screeds can withstand heavy loads without failure, making them ideal for warehouse floors and commercial kitchens.
- Long-Term Performance: Helps prevent issues such as cracking, deformation, and premature wear, particularly in driveways and industrial settings.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensures materials meet industry benchmarks for safety and longevity.
