Urethane Flooring Solutions
Resinous Flooring Resistant to Thermal Shock and Cycling
What is Urethane Flooring?
Urethane flooring systems resurface concrete floors with durable, seamless protection against chemicals, slips, impacts, and heavy traffic. Their non-porous surface eliminates grout lines and welds, improving cleanability and hygiene while offering customizable colors and designs.
Available in options like aliphatic, aromatic, and cementitious urethanes, these systems deliver long-term performance against UV exposure, thermal shock, and harsh conditions. Though the initial investment may be higher, urethane floors help reduce maintenance, repairs, and replacement costs over time while providing a more sustainable flooring solution.

Urethane Flooring Applications
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage facilities require durable floors that combine hygiene and performance to withstand spills, heavy traffic, thermal shock, and frequent cleaning. Seamless urethane systems are easy to clean with slip and chemical resistant surfaces.
Hospitality
Commercial urethane floors provide design and durability for venues like cafes, restaurants, and hotels, while protecting against thermal shock and high-temperature spills in kitchens. Urethane floors also resist cleaning chemicals, organic acids, and can be textured for slip resistance.
Transportation
Seamless urethane floors for airports, train stations, and bus terminals offer slip, stain, and impact resistance as well as easy maintenance. Commercial urethane floors stand up to all kinds of traffic, wheeled or foot, and offer a wide range of design options and long-lasting formulations.
Education
Colleges and schools need durable, wear-resistant flooring, making urethane floors a smart choice. Choose your color, pattern, and add custom logos. Enjoy noise reduction and comfort underfoot. Urethane floors are also ideal in cafeteria kitchens, protecting against organic acids, chemicals, and thermal shock.

How We Install Your Urethane 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). 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 urethane floor installation with professionally trained installation teams.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Seamless urethane floors are known for their easy cleaning and maintenance procedures, however each environment has its own specific requirements and standards to meet. Stonhard Territory Managers work with customers directly to provide the right cleaning solution for the specific environment.

What is Urethane Flooring and How Long Does it Last?
Urethane flooring is a seamless, durable flooring solution that resists chemicals, impact, wear, and thermal shock, making it ideal for industries such as food and beverage, healthcare, education, retail, and hospitality. With a lifespan of 10–20 years or more, urethane floors provide hygienic, low-maintenance surfaces, ergonomic benefits, and extensive design flexibility while delivering long-term performance and sustainability advantages.
Do I Need Epoxy Flooring or Urethane Flooring for My Facility?
Epoxy and urethane flooring both provide durable, seamless surfaces, but they serve different needs. Epoxy is ideal for heavy-duty, chemical-resistant applications, while urethane excels in environments with temperature extremes, noise concerns, and comfort requirements, such as food processing, healthcare, and education facilities. Choosing the right system depends on your facility's specific demands.
