Resin Flooring
Resin flooring provides clients with a very long lasting, durable, resilient and hygienic surface- and this is what makes a resin floor the best option for so many workplace environments. Choosing a high performance resin such as this can be difficult as there are so many options to choose from. To aid customers in this matter, FeRFA has produced a classification system for the different resin floor variations. This forms the basis of the British Standard BS 8204-6.
