Introduction Flooring in aged care facilities carries far greater responsibility than aesthetics alone. It must protect residents, support staff, withstand cleaning regimes and maintain hygiene standards — all while delivering long-term durability under constant use. Aged care flooring requires careful specification to reduce slip risks, minimise trip hazards and ensure compliance with Australian standards. In…

Introduction In high-demand industrial environments, flooring is exposed to more than just foot traffic. Heavy machinery, forklifts, hot washdowns, chemical spills and constant operational movement place significant stress on concrete substrates. While many facilities default to epoxy, polyurethane flooring systems are often the superior choice in environments where thermal shock, moisture exposure and aggressive cleaning…
Introduction Choosing the right industrial floor covering is one of the most important decisions a facility manager, builder or operations director can make. The flooring system beneath your workforce and equipment directly impacts safety, durability, compliance and long-term operational costs. With multiple industrial floor covering options available — including epoxy flooring industrial systems and polyurethane…
Introduction Many industrial facilities rely on chemicals as part of daily operations. Oils, fuels, solvents, acids, coolants, cleaning agents, and processing by-products are common across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and processing environments. When flooring is not designed to handle chemical exposure, the result is often rapid deterioration, safety risks, and increased maintenance costs. Chemical-resistant flooring is…
Introduction Food safety is one of the most highly regulated areas of industrial and commercial operations in Australia. Facilities involved in food production, processing, preparation, or storage must meet strict hygiene and safety standards to protect consumers and maintain compliance. While attention is often focused on equipment, procedures, and staff training, flooring is one of…
Introduction Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of workplace injuries in Australia. In industrial and commercial environments, flooring plays a direct role in either reducing or increasing this risk. Wet surfaces, spills, cleaning processes, oils, and dust all contribute to hazardous conditions if floors are not designed correctly. Slip resistant flooring…
Introduction Choosing the right industrial floor coating is one of the most important decisions a facility owner or manager can make. Flooring impacts safety, compliance, maintenance costs, hygiene, and long-term operational efficiency. In industrial and commercial environments, floors are exposed to heavy traffic, machinery, chemicals, moisture, and constant cleaning. If the wrong system is selected,…
Introduction: Chemical Exposure Is One of the Biggest Threats to Industrial Floors Industrial facilities routinely handle substances that can quickly degrade standard concrete flooring. Oils, fuels, solvents, acids, coolants, and aggressive cleaning chemicals are part of daily operations in many sectors. When floors are not properly protected, chemical exposure leads to surface breakdown, safety hazards,…
Introduction: Slip Hazards Are One of the Biggest Workplace Risks Slips, trips, and falls remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries across Australia. In industrial and commercial environments, flooring plays a direct role in either reducing or increasing this risk. Wet areas, spills, cleaning processes, and heavy foot traffic all contribute to hazardous…
Introduction: Why Flooring Matters in Aged Care Environments Aged care facilities place unique and demanding requirements on flooring. Unlike many commercial environments, these spaces must balance resident safety, infection control, staff efficiency, and regulatory compliance — all while maintaining durability and ease of maintenance. Floors in aged care settings are subjected to: Constant foot traffic…
Introduction: Why Industrial Floors Demand More Industrial facilities place extreme demands on their flooring. Constant forklift traffic, heavy machinery, chemical spills, impact loads, and rigorous cleaning regimes can quickly degrade standard concrete surfaces. When floors fail, the consequences include safety risks, downtime, compliance issues, and expensive repairs. This is why many Australian industrial facilities are…
