Factory floor

A factory floor is a floor that has been specially designed to meet the high requirements set in an industrial environment. Floors in a factory must be able to withstand heavy loads, wear, chemicals, temperature changes, moisture and dirt.

In addition, they must be safe, hygienic, durable and easy to maintain. A factory floor is therefore not just a floor, but an essential part of the production process.

Choosing a suitable factory floor is not an easy decision. At ICM Projects we understand that every floor is different and that it must meet the specific requirements of your sector to ensure optimal efficiency and safety.

Required properties of a factory floor

A factory floor must meet various requirements to function optimally in an industrial environment. The floor must, among other things:

• Withstand heavy loads and shocks;
• Be liquid tight to prevent leaks;
• Be non-slip to ensure safety;
• Be wear-resistant for a long service life;
• Be maintenance-friendly for efficient operations.

The importance of customization for factory floors

At ICM Projects we strongly believe in customization. Each factory is unique and has specific requirements for the floor. Our experts therefore ensure that the factory floor is fully tailored to the situation. This results in a floor that fits perfectly with the business processes and guarantees the safety of your employees.

Which floors are suitable as a factory floor?

At ICM Projects we offer many different types of floors that can serve as factory floors. Each floor type has its unique characteristics, properties, advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the requirements and needs of your company, one of the floor types below may offer a solution.

Cast floors

A cast floor is the pinnacle of durability and functionality, making it an unrivaled choice for factory floors. The seamless finish of a cast floor not only eliminates the chance of cracks or fractures, but also strengthens the structural integrity of the floor. This is essential in an environment where heavy machinery and vehicles are the norm.

In addition, the liquid-tight property of the cast floor forms an impenetrable barrier against chemical substances and liquids that are often found in industrial settings. This not only ensures the safety of the working environment, but also significantly extends the lifespan of the floor.

ESD floors

An ESD floor forms the essential link between a safe working environment and sensitive electronics in the factory environment. Thanks to its unique properties, this floor is indispensable for the electronics industry.

The conductive composition of the ESD floor ensures that electrostatic discharges are safely discharged, protecting valuable electronic components.

In addition, the ESD floor provides a solid and durable base that can withstand the intensive loads of a production environment. The seamless surface minimizes the accumulation of dust and dirt, which is crucial for a clean and efficient working environment. Trowel floors

Trowel floors

A trowel floor forms the unmovable backbone of an industrial environment, where robustness is an absolute must. The unparalleled wear resistance and chemical resistance make this flooring solution the undisputed king among factory floors.

Due to the seamless composition of high-quality materials, the trowel floor effortlessly withstands the test of time, even under the most unforgiving conditions.

Additionally, it provides an impermeable barrier against aggressive chemicals, making it the perfect choice for companies working with hazardous substances.

Rubber floors

A rubber floor comes into its own in a factory environment, where safety and durability are essential. Thanks to its excellent anti-slip properties, this floor offers a solid grip, even in situations with oil or water spills.

In addition, the material absorbs shock, which reduces the impact of heavy equipment and foot traffic, thus extending the life of both the floor and the machinery.

The comfort that a rubber floor provides when walking on it contributes to the well-being of employees who spend long hours on the factory floor. This promotes staff productivity and satisfaction.

MMA floors

An MMA floor stands out as the ideal choice for factory floors thanks to its remarkable properties.

First of all, the fast curing of this flooring solution is invaluable in a production environment where time is of the essence. This allows installation to be completed in a short time frame, minimizing downtime.

In addition, MMA system floors offer exceptional durability that perfectly meets the requirements of a factory environment. This means the floor can withstand heavy loads, shocks and impacts, which is essential for daily activities in a busy production facility.

Epoxy floors

Epoxy floors are very wear-resistant and can withstand heavy loads. These floors are often used in busy industrial environments where load-bearing capacity and chemical resistance are essential. We can distinguish between an epoxy cast floor and epoxy floor coating.

Epoxy cast floor

An epoxy cast floor is the ideal choice for a factory floor because of its seamless character and impressive mechanical properties. The floor can easily withstand heavy loads and is a true shield against harmful chemicals.

In addition, the seamless finish of the epoxy floor integrates seamlessly with the environment, which minimizes intersections for dust or dirt. This creates an easy-to-maintain surface that promotes productivity in a factory environment.

Epoxy floor coating

Epoxy floor coatings provide the ideal protective layer for factory floors, thanks to their unparalleled durability and ease of cleaning. These coatings create a shield of robust protection on top of the existing floor, which can withstand the constant flow of industrial activity.

The seamless integration with the substrate creates an even surface, free of irregularities where dust or dirt can accumulate. This results in a floor that is not only easy to maintain, but also contributes to a hygienic and safe working environment

Liquid-tight floors

A liquid-tight floor, indispensable in industrial settings where liquids are an everyday phenomenon, is distinguished by its exceptional ability to prevent leaks and thus guarantee the integrity of the underlying structure.

This property results from the thoughtful design and high-quality materials used in the production of such floors. Moreover, a liquid-tight floor not only provides durable protection, but also acts as a solid foundation for work in a factory environment.

HACCP floors

A HACCP floor is the ideal choice for a factory floor because of its unique properties that perfectly meet the specific requirements of the food industry. These floors meet the strictest hygiene requirements, making them an indispensable basis for a clean and safe production environment.

Thanks to their seamless and smooth surface, HACCP floors are easy to clean, which is essential to prevent contamination. In addition, they have a natural resistance to the growth of bacteria, which significantly reduces the risk of microbial contamination. This makes the HACCP floor not only practical, but also a sustainable investment in the quality and safety of the production process.

Why is marking important for factory floors?

Line markings are important for factory floors because they ensure a safe working environment. Walking routes, work areas and storage areas can be clearly indicated by means of lines.

In addition, lines can also be used to prevent dangerous situations, such as applying warning markings at edges and precipices, and/or indicating dangerous zones.

At ICM Projects, in addition to installing a high-quality factory floor, we can also provide accurate lines that comply with the applicable standards and regulations.
