What is a PU cast floor?
A PU cast floor (or resin floor) is a floor made of polyurethane. This synthetic floor is sleek, seamless, and flexible. PU stands for polyurethane, a material that is strong and resilient. These floors are popular in homes, offices, and healthcare facilities. At Romar-Voss Floor Systems, we produce PU cast floors with craftsmanship and care. In this text, you'll learn all about their properties, benefits, and applications.
What is polyurethane?
Polyurethane is a synthetic material that is flexible and durable. It feels warm and comfortable, which is what sets it apart from an epoxy self-leveling floor. PU floors are less hard but more elastic, making them more resistant to scratches and cracks. They also have sound-dampening properties.
Structure of a PU cast floor
A PU cast floor consists of multiple layers. First comes the primer, which ensures adhesion to the subfloor. This is followed by a scratch coat that fills in any imperfections. Then the PU cast layer is applied, which is the main layer of the floor. Finally, we apply a topcoat that protects against dirt, moisture, and wear.
Each layer has a specific function, and this structure guarantees quality and durability. Romar-Voss Floor Systems uses high-quality materials to ensure a perfect finish.
Where is a PU cast floor suitable?
PU cast floors are suitable for many spaces, including homes, offices, and shops. They are also a great choice for hospitals and daycares. The floor is hygienic and easy to clean, which is useful in places where hygiene is important.
For homes, the comfort is a major advantage. The floor feels warm due to the elastic top layer and pairs well with underfloor heating.
What are the benefits?
A PU self-leveling floor offers many advantages:
Seamless: No seams or joints. This creates a sleek, hygienic look.
Comfortable: The floor feels warm and dampens sound.
Elastic: Does not crack easily. Also suitable for floors that may experience slight movement.
Easy to maintain: Simple to keep clean. Dirt doesn't adhere easily.
Durable: Lasts for years with proper use.
Colourfast: Available in many colours and remains beautiful for a long time.
These benefits make a PU self-leveling floor popular in various sectors. You choose for convenience and style.
What about maintenance?
Maintenance is simple. Regular vacuuming and mopping are sufficient. Be sure to use a soft mop and a suitable cleaning agent. Avoid aggressive cleaners, as they can damage the top layer.
Romar-Voss Floor Systems always provides customized maintenance advice to keep your floor looking beautiful for a long time.
Is a PU cast floor scratch-resistant?
PU cast floors are elastic and can withstand a lot. However, they are not completely scratch-proof. Use felt pads under furniture and be careful with sand or small stones under your shoes to prevent damage.
If you want extra protection, you can opt for an extra strong topcoat. We are happy to advise you on the right finish.
How long does a PU cast floor last?
A PU cast floor lasts a long time. The lifespan depends on use and load. In a home, a floor wears less quickly than in a shop. If the top layer is worn out, it can be reapplied.
Is a PU cast floor suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes, PU self-leveling floors are an excellent match for underfloor heating. The floor conducts heat well, which ensures a pleasant temperature in the house. You also save on energy costs.
Our specialists ensure a perfect connection to your system, giving you both comfort and efficiency.
