Flooring considerations from Flowcrete India to transform a hospitality environment.

Installing floors that meet the functional and aesthetic demands of the hospitality market entails a careful analysis of a variety of factors such as the site´s future use, the visual impact and a proper construction timetable.

Floors can enhance the visitor experience with eye-catching aesthetics along with the interior design to create a pleasant and inviting environment.

However, heavy foot traffic, abrasions, frequent cleaning and spillage of food and beverages can ruin the floor´s appearance. The hard wearing, easy-to-clean finish of an epoxy resin system maintains an unblemished surface for an extended period of time despite these conditions. The choice of colours and decorative effects that resin solutions offer can aid architects in installing floors that reflect their own style, brand and image, and prevent them from deteriorating with the site´s daily activity.

Creating works of art
Flowcrete India has introduced the seamless resin terrazzo MondTco range to provide hospitality venues with the design flexibility to consider the floor area as one giant canvas on which durable works of art can be created to safeguard the floor´s visual impact against time and use.

The wide variety of colour options offered by Mondeco creates entirely unique floors combined with a paint-by-numbers application technique. Brass or aluminium trims are laid on the floor to designate the outlines of the colours and the resin is poured into each block. The floor area is then diamond ground to reveal the vibrant colours, exciting shapes and sparkling, light reflective additives underneath.

Quick results
Floors that need a seamless resin finish but have limited time for installation can utilise the rapidly curing methyl methacrylate resin systems such as Flowfast. This technology speeds up the floor´s rate of cure to a mere two hours. Available in various eye-catching styles, Flowfast is equally applicable in the front areas of a house as it is at the back of a house.

Apart from the customer and client demands, the floor also needs to provide a functional and efficient surface for the vital background tasks to be executed quickly, safely and effectively.

Maintaining hygiene standards
These areas are likely to be impacted by heavy equipment and dropped tools as well as constant traffic from staff and wheeled equipment. Strong polyurethane floors can be installed in thicknesses and formulations able to cope with the most abusive on-site conditions. Antimicrobial additives can even be added to provide an enhanced protection against bacteria, which is advantageous within areas such as kitchens that need to meet strict hygiene standards. The first impression that many visitors have of a hospitality venue is not that of a main atrium, lobby or shop, but of the car park - therefore it is important to apply the same standards to the floor here as in other more glamorous parts of the complex.

Identifying an ideal solution
Combining both looks and performance in a multi-storey car park requires a deck coating material strong enough to withstand the continuous movement of heavy vehicles as well as resistant to chemicals such as fuel and automotive oils.

Along with understanding the issues that the floor will face in each part of the building, it is important to discuss with suppliers about their experience in similar situations that can provide relevant project references. This will ensure the identification of the ideal solution based on both the developer´s understanding of the anticipated future use of the site and the goals that they want to achieve.
