Floors in retail venues and shopping centres are exposed to a wide variety of different service criteria. Typically, these buildings can be heavily trafficked as well as subject to frequent spillage – think supermarkets, bars and food retail concessions – so durability and chemical resistance as well as ease of cleaning and maintenance are major factors for consideration.
However, the window in which to install floors in these facilities – particularly in refurbishment scenarios – can be extremely tight. Any requirement to shut down the site for maintenance works can hit retailers in the back pocket, so minimising any downtime or disruption to trade is essential.
Selecting a flooring system that offers the necessary chemical resistance, ease of cleanability and can be installed and ready to use quickly so as to minimise any disruption to trade are of utmost importance in this sector.
Vebro Polymers offer a number of seamless resin flooring systems that can meet the specific needs of the fast-moving retail world. Our MMA resin systems contain a unique catalyst, designed to expedite the speed of cure the resin systems and deliver a fully trafficable finish in just 60 minutes.
This means that replacement floors can often be installed throughout the night and fully ready for use by opening time in the morning. This is a major benefit for retailers looking to minimise any downtime.
MMA systems are also incredibly hardwearing and offer excellent stain, UV and chemical resistance – which makes them well placed to service environments subject to frequent breakages and spillage such as supermarkets, bars and restaurants.
Our seamless MMA resin options can be installed in custom coloured flake and quartz blends to make a real style statement underfoot.

Comfort floors should be installed by experienced applicators in the field of resin flooring systems. Any cracks in the substrate should be bandaged or a levelling screed should be used to ensure a smooth, level surface prior to the installation of polyurethane comfort flooring. Comfort resin floors act like a skim and will highlight any imperfections in the substrate when cured if preparation isn’t taken seriously.
The area needs to be sealed prior to installation, with all windows and doors firmly closed, as well as free from any moisture or dust particles. If underfloor heating is incorporated into the substrate, this should be switched on and set to roughly 22°C before installation can begin. Most resin comfort floors are two to three-layer systems and typically a day is recommended between each coat.
Sometimes, unlimited design options can seem overwhelming! To help simplify the process, we’ve broken the process of designing a bespoke vebro Classic Terrazzo design into a handful of steps.
For more information on the steps below, download the vebro Classic Terrazzo guide. Should you need any further advice, please don’t hesitate to contact the Vebro team!
Major benefits of resin comfort floors include the reduced risk of cracking due to the increased flexibility of the polyurethane resin and a reduction in noise transmission caused by footfall in multi-level spaces.
Resin comfort floors are also extremely hygienic and very easy to clean given their seamless and smooth finish – plus they come in a vast (virtually limitless) range of colours, decorative effects and unique motion patterns.
The durability of resin flooring makes it more cost-effective when compared with other flooring systems such as tiles, sheet vinyl and linoleum, it’s more resilient, prone to wear and tear and therefore generally lasts a lot longer.
Seamless resin terrazzo is ultra-hard wearing with exceptional durability, ideal for high trafficked areas and offering excellent lifecycle cost saving efficiencies as it is easy to clean, sanitise and maintain.
Epoxy based terrazzo offers more movement than traditional sand cement terrazzo and is less prone to cracking. What’s more, it offers excellent chemical and stain resistance, ensuring an attractive finish is maintained.
vebro Classic Terrazzo incorporates a low emission epoxy resin binder tested and certified by AgBB.
Not only can the Vebro Polymers epoxy resin binder be matched to any RAL colour or surrounding design schemes, users can choose their own aggregate and sizes ensuring complete design flexibility.
Because of the nature of seamless epoxy terrazzo, the system retains warmth effectively, ideal for use over underfloor heating pipes.
The Vebro team recommends that vebro Classic Terrazzo flooring is laid on a suitable cementitious levelling screed from the vebroscreed range.
The most suitable substrate will depend on site conditions as well as intended use and performance criteria of the overall floor build up.
Of course, there are a number of other considerations to factor in… There may be some substrate repair and crack bandaging required, as well as added underfloor heating.
Vebro Polymers is on hand to support with the full package of flooring from the terrazzo topping and all that lies beneath.

Resin comfort flooring is made up of layers of flexible polyurethane resin that is liquid-applied onto a primed concrete substrate or alternatively a rubber mat, rubber crumb or cork underlay.
Resin comfort flooring is also frequently referred to as liquid-vinyl or cushioned resin flooring. All of these terms; ‘comfort’, ‘cushioned’, ‘vinyl’ – make reference to the floors’ somewhat unique properties of providing a cushioning effect underfoot…this quite literally makes these floors more comfortable, warmer and surprisingly soft underfoot for those using them to walk and work on.
With correct care and maintenance, resin comfort floors can last well in excess of 10, 15, 20 years, even longer still with the routine refurbishment of the topcoat. At the end of their lifespan, resin comfort floors can simply be overlaid whereas with sheet vinyl or linoleum this typically needs to be removed and disposed of.
Resin comfort floors have a very cost-effective life-cycle profile in comparison to alternative floor coverings, albeit a higher square metre rate install cost, reduced maintenance and energy costs over time combined with a longer lifespan makes resin comfort floors the economical choice over the footprint of its service life.
Resin comfort floors have become increasingly popular in institutional facilities over the last few years including schools, colleges, healthcare, medical-care and public leisure facilities.
Whilst being tough and durable, resin comfort floors are also easy to clean which makes them a great choice in these sectors. Resin comfort floors provides the ideal solution for all areas including; entrance foyers, service corridors, classrooms, hospital wards, recreation areas and laboratories.
Including a rubber mat within the build-up of comfort resin floors simply enhances all of the major benefits offered by this type of flooring.
The inclusion of a soft rubber mat makes the floor even more comfortable to walk and work on and also significantly improves acoustics – particularly between floors – deadening unpleasant noise transfer (think of that horrendous screeching noise when the bell rings and you’ve got 35 kids pushing their chairs under their desks right above you!)
