Warehouse and manufacturing flooring
Warehouse and manufacturing floors take forklifts, pallet jacks and racking, and they have to stay clean and dust-free. Hycrete polyurethane cement and E300SL self-levelling epoxy carry heavy production traffic; SupaFloor, PA315 and PA330 coat general areas with colour and line marking.
What the floor has to handle
- Traffic
- forklifts, pallet jacks, racking point loads
- Dust
- untreated concrete dusts under wheels
- Markings
- aisles and safety walkways
- Downtime

FAQs about warehouse and manufacturing flooring
Densifier or epoxy for a warehouse?
A densifier such as Hardenseal keeps a ground or polished slab dust-free without a surface film. Epoxy adds colour, markings and chemical resistance, and hides a worn slab.
What is the best epoxy for a warehouse?
Supafloor for general areas, SL20 self-levelling where heavy loads and a smooth, easy-clean floor are needed, SF25 where low odour matters.

The odds are stacked against PVC
“Many of the by-products of the PVC lifecycle are now ubiquitous global pollutants, which can be found not only in industrialised regions but in the planet’s most remote ecosystems.
Reducing slip hazards in the workplace
Short answer: specify the slip-resistance class the area needs under AS 4586, build it into the floor with an anti-slip texture, and clean the floor so the texture keeps working.
