MMA Flooring Applications
Retail
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage facilities are often exposed to extreme temperatures, making it difficult to install certain flooring types. These issues are not prevalent with MMA flooring which can cure in extreme highs or lows.
Education
Schools and universities cannot afford downtime for necessary repairs or installations. Prepare for this by choosing an MMA floor that is able to be installed over the weekend or even overnight, so that your students can get back to learning as soon as possible.
Hospitality
Hotels and restaurants require physical space for their customers, and a long flooring installation project can result in lost revenue. Minimize this concern with a 1-2 day or night installation.
Manufacturing
Impact resistance is of the utmost importance when it comes to installing floors in a manufacturing facility. MMA flooring has properties that can stand up to impact caused by forklifts and other heavy machinery.
Sports & Entertainment
To ensure that your guests have the best experience in your stadium or auditorium, make sure they are protected with slip-resistant MMA flooring that reduces potential falls and injuries. MMA flooring also comes in a variety of colors and finishes that fit your design aesthetic.

How We Install Your MMA Flooring System
Inspection and Testing
The area is inspected prior to installation to determine the right system required for the area and the type of testing required. Based on the condition of the slab, use of the space, or age of the building, different tests may be required, such as Calcium Chloride or Relative Humidity testing to determine the moisture content of the slab or contamination.
Substrate Preparation
Based on the information found from these tests and onsite visits, the proper preparation procedure is determined. This may include mechanical preparation with media blasting, diamond grinding, and removal by jack hammers and chipping guns. If slabs are determined to be contaminated with oils, de-greasing may be necessary to achieve proper adhesion. Preparation is the most important process to ensure there is a proper bond to the substrate.
Application
Installation of the system will vary depending on the specific system (broadcast, mortar, self-leveler). Installation temperatures are confirmed to use proper catalyst levels to achieve proper cure of the Methyl Methacrylate flooring. Common installation procedures vary from screeding and troweling the material, squeegeeing and rolling the material, and broadcasting the material. All details, including waterproofing, cove base, penetrations, drains, etc., are discussed prior to installation. These will be handled properly to ensure a good quality Methyl Methacrylate floor installation with professionally trained installation teams.
