Getting the Best Value: Tips for Managing Resin Flooring Costs in the UK

The size of the floor area – the cost of a resin floor is typically broken down on a per square metre basis, so the bigger the flooring space the more expensive it will be. This does not necessarily mean that a larger flooring area will be more expensive overall as it can often lead to cheaper costs per square metre due to the increased efficiencies and economies of scale involved with mixing and installing a resin floor.

The state of the existing substrate – the condition and extent of any preparation that needs to be done to an existing floor before resin is applied will have a significant impact on the overall cost. This is particularly true if specialist processes such as shot blasting or diamond grinding are required.

The type of resin floor chosen – the more features that a floor has (such as anti-slip or chemical resistance) the more it will cost to install. Additional colors or metallic additives can add to this cost as well.
