Een troffelvloer is een type vloer dat bestaat uit een mengsel van kunsthars en fijne kwartszandkorrels. Het wordt met een troffel of spaan aangebracht op de ondergrond, waardoor een naadloos, sterk en slijtvast oppervlak ontstaat.
Troffelvloeren zijn geschikt voor zowel binnen- als buitentoepassingen en kan in verschillende kleuren en afwerkingen worden geleverd. We vertellen je alles wat je moet weten over troffelvloeren, de voordelen, de eigenschappen, de kosten, de toepassing in bedrijfsomgevingen en de veelgestelde vragen.
Een troffelvloer is een naadloze vloer die bestaat uit verschillende lagen harsen en fijne vulstoffen, zoals kwarts of marmerkorrels. Deze vloer staat bekend om zijn hoge slijtvastheid en duurzaamheid.
Troffelvloeren worden veel toegepast in bedrijfsomgevingen zoals kantoren, magazijnen, werkplaatsen en projecthallen vanwege hun robuustheid en veelzijdigheid.
De kunsthars kan bestaan uit epoxy, polyurethaan of acrylaat, afhankelijk van de gewenste eigenschappen en toepassing van de vloer. De hars zorgt voor de hechting, de flexibiliteit en de bescherming van de vloer.
Een troffelvloer heeft vele voordelen ten opzichte van andere soorten vloeren. Hieronder noemen we de belangrijkste:

Trowel floors are very suitable for commercial environments because they can withstand intensive use, are easy to maintain and have a professional appearance. Therefore, they can be used in different types of spaces, such as:
Trowel floors are the ideal choice for offices because they create a quiet and comfortable working atmosphere. They dampen the sound of footsteps and office chairs, conduct the heat from underfloor heating and can be perfectly matched to the corporate identity and interior of the office. In addition, trowel floors are hygienic and allergy-free, which contributes to a healthy indoor climate.
Trowel floors are ideal for warehouses because they can withstand heavy loads and mechanical influences. They can effortlessly withstand bumps, scratches, abrasions and wear from forklifts, pallet trucks and other vehicles.
In addition, trowel floors are moisture-resistant and liquid-tight, so they are not damaged by leaks or spills. The easy cleaning process is very important for hygiene and safety in the warehouse.
Trowel floors prove their value in workshops because they are resistant to both chemical and thermal influences. They withstand acids, oils, greases, fuels and other aggressive substances that may occur in a workshop.
Trowel floors can also withstand high and low temperatures, so they do not shrink or expand when heated or cooled. They are also antistatic or conductive, so they do not build up or release an electrical charge.
Trowel floors are ideal for project halls because they can cover large surfaces seamlessly. They give a project hall a sleek and modern appearance that fits seamlessly with the nature and purpose of the project. In addition, trowel floors are durable and easy to maintain, which means they last a long time and retain their quality.
Installing a trowel floor takes on average between 4 and 7 days, depending on the size of the surface, the condition of the substrate, the thickness of the floor and the drying time of the resin. Installing a trowel floor consists of the following steps:

A trowel floor has a thickness of 3 to 6 millimeters, depending on the substrate and the load. In general, a thicker trowel floor is stronger and more durable, but also more expensive and time-consuming to install. The optimal thickness of a trowel floor depends on the situation and the advice of the specialist.
The price of a trowel floor is influenced by factors such as the surface area of the room, the desired finish and any preparatory work. For an exact quote, it is advisable to request a quote from a specialized company such as ICM Projects.
A trowel floor and a cast floor are both types of plastic floors that consist of a synthetic resin and a filler. The difference is mainly in the filler and the application method. A trowel floor is filled with fine quartz sand grains and applied with a trowel or trowel.
A cast floor, on the other hand, is filled with coarser quartz sand grains or other materials such as rubber or cork and is applied with a casting bucket or syringe. This means that a trowel floor has a finer structure and a harder surface than a cast floor.
The trowel floor is also thicker and stronger than a cast floor. However, a cast floor is thinner and more flexible than a trowel floor. A cast floor can also be laid over existing floors more easily than a trowel floor.
