Shutdowns over the festive season can provide businesses with refurbishment gifts to help them prosper once the holidays are over.

Processing and manufacturing centres can use the closure period this year to install a new floor finish with the minimum of hassle. An investment like this is a great way to boost a building’s potential for many years to come.

After extensive use floors can become damaged and unsightly due to the demands placed on them. These can include heavy physical impacts, high temperatures, corrosion from oils and sugars, chemical attacks, challenging hygiene requirements and even having limited windows of time to repair.

In many commercial and industrial environments any loss of integrity could lead to potential health and safety problems such as bacteria build up and slippery surfaces. Refurbishment solutions from Flowcrete can give floors a new lease of life by providing robust, hygienic and colourful platforms.

Specifiers can find out more about how they can improve their floors over the Christmas shutdown with the online guides produced by Flowcrete UK. The different grades of resin flooring are discussed in the guides, allowing decision makers to come to an informed choice about which is the right type of finish for them.

Included are the facts and figures that illustrate the problems Flowcrete can help to overcome. For example 35,000 slips and trips are reported each year, a workplace danger that can be drastically reduced with a floor finish designed to reduce this risk.
