What are the advantages of resin floors?
Among the first advantages of resin are its durability, which makes the floor very versatile, adaptable to the different needs of the environments where it is laid and of the client, as well as ensuring a long service life.
Resin is a monolithic material: this means that when laid, it looks like a single surface with no joints or joints. This characteristic also makes resin flooring hygienic and easy to clean.
This material is an excellent conductor of heat and is completely nontoxic, which is why resin floors are also chosen for kitchens and other environments that require high standards of safety and hygiene.
The resin floor is water-repellent.
Resin can also be laid on different substrates, even on existing floors, saving economic resources and time because demolition or reconstruction is avoided.
Finally, of the aesthetic performance we have already discussed at the beginning of this article: resin adapts in appearance to different styles and furnishings, as well as being customizable with effects, colors, and finishes, for floors also chosen in the residential and commercial sectors.

But does resin have any disadvantages?
A resin floor has many advantages, but itis not indestructible, and like any building material, it is subject to wear and tear.
Aging of resin coatings is most visible in industrial environments.
Resin floors are also prone, like other building materials, to abrasions, scratches, and other imperfections, which are especially visible on smooth, even-toned surfaces. These defects occur in most cases in areas subject to increased footfall or traffic.
Cracks and fissures are also the enemy of resin floors, and these are created when the substrate is not properly prepared and therefore the surface is not completely even.
