What PU screed does especially well
Made for harsh washdown
A solid choice where cleaning is frequent, aggressive and tied to hygiene standards.
Handles rapid temperature change
PU screeds suit areas that move between cold storage, heat and steam cleaning.
Made for harsh processing conditions
Some floors have to cope with the sort of treatment that quickly breaks lesser surfaces. PU screed flooring is a strong choice where there is heavy impact, chemical exposure and sharp temperature change, such as cold storage, hot processing zones and areas cleaned with high-temperature steam. We install polyurethane screeds that give you a hard-working surface designed for demanding environments rather than light-duty use. In Armagh, these floors are often the answer when washdown, heat and production pressure all meet in the same area.
Chosen around heat, cleaning and traffic
The right screed depends on what the area actually faces. We look at operating temperature, cleaning regime, traffic levels and chemical exposure before settling on the grade and build-up. Slip resistance also needs care because the texture must support underfoot safety without creating unnecessary cleaning trouble. Before the floor returns to service, we also deal with substrate preparation, edge details, joints and curing so the whole installation works as it should, not just the visible top layer.
Frequently asked questions
Where is PU screed flooring normally used?
PU screed is commonly used in demanding processing areas where the floor sees heavy impact, chemical exposure or rapid temperature changes. That includes cold stores, hot food production areas and washdown zones where ordinary coatings or lighter systems may struggle to hold up over time.
Can PU screed cope with steam cleaning?
Yes, that is one of the reasons it is so often chosen for harsh industrial and food settings. When the system is specified properly, PU screed can deal with the kind of cleaning regime that combines moisture, chemicals and high temperatures, including regular steam cleaning in suitable areas.
How do you balance slip resistance and hygiene?
It comes down to choosing the right texture for the task. Too smooth can be risky in wet areas, while too rough can make cleaning harder than it needs to be. We look at spill risks, cleaning methods and working practices to recommend a finish that gives sensible grip without becoming awkward to maintain.
