Are you currently orienting yourself on a resin floor, but doubting between a cement resin floor and a PU resin floor? To make the choice easier, we have listed the biggest advantages and differences of both types of resin floors.
Cement resin floor versus PU resin floor
A cement resin floor (also called a cement-bound resin floor) has various unique properties compared to a PU resin floor (also called a synthetic resin floor). As their names already reveal, the main component of a cement resin floor is cement and for a PU resin floor a (liquid) synthetic casting resin is used. The material use and the application method are decisive for the final look and feel. Below you will find an overview of the most important properties of both resin floors:
| Cement resin floor | PU resin floor |
| Exceptionally wear-resistant | Offers the most walking comfort |
| Authentic and stony character | Sleek modern look |
| Fits perfectly with an industrial style | Feels comfortable and warm |
| Can be laid under a slope | Naturally more crack-bridging |
| Also has wall applications | Lightly elastic and somewhat sound-absorbing |
