Installation Guidelines
Surface Preparation: Clean concrete thoroughly, removing all oil, grease, and contaminants. Degrease with appropriate solvents and allow complete drying.
Adhesive Selection: Use chemical-resistant contact adhesive suitable for oil-contaminated environments. Epoxy-based adhesives recommended for permanent installation.
Installation Process: Install in oil-free conditions. Allow matting to acclimatise before bonding. Use pneumatic roller for complete adhesion.
Seam Treatment: Hot-weld all seams in areas subject to oil spillage for liquid-tight installation.
Drainage Integration: Ensure floor drains remain accessible and functional for oil spill containment.
Maintenance & Chemical Cleaning
Daily Maintenance: Remove oil spills promptly. Sweep debris and clean with degreasing agents as needed.
Deep Cleaning: Use industrial degreasers and pressure washers. Steam cleaning acceptable for heavy oil contamination.
Chemical Compatibility: Safe to use with most workshop cleaning chemicals, degreasers, and disinfectants.
Spill Response: Contains spills effectively. Clean immediately to prevent slip hazards and maintain appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How effective is this flooring against different types of oil?
Our oil-resistant flooring is formulated to resist engine oils, hydraulic fluids, transmission oils, and most petroleum-based lubricants. The NBR/SBR compound prevents absorption and swelling, maintaining structural integrity and appearance even with constant exposure.
Can this handle heavy vehicle traffic and lifts?
Yes, the heavy-duty construction is specifically designed for automotive workshops. It can handle vehicle weights up to 1500kg/m² and is compatible with hydraulic lifts, jacks, and heavy workshop equipment when properly installed over suitable substrate.
Does it maintain slip resistance when contaminated with oil?
Yes, this is a key feature. The R11 slip rating is maintained even when the surface is contaminated with oils and lubricants. The studded pattern channels liquids away from foot contact points, providing secure footing in oily conditions.
How do I clean oil spills from this flooring?
Oil spills can be cleaned with standard workshop degreasers and pressure washing. The non-porous surface prevents oil penetration, allowing complete removal. For heavy contamination, steam cleaning or solvent-based cleaners can be used safely.
