In a nutshell, we can say that a resin floor in the bathroom is dirt-repellent, easy to keep clean and therefore more hygienic. Nevertheless, it is important to thoroughly research resin floors before you decide to have one installed in your bathroom. To facilitate your choice, we list the most important advantages and disadvantages.
Hygiene
No joints, no seams and therefore no accumulation of dirt. These properties make resin floors exceptionally hygienic in use. In addition, cleaning a resin floor is not only easier, it also proceeds much faster.
Appearance
From classic to modern; a resin floor in a bathroom always fits perfectly. Resin floors can be delivered in a diverse number of striking versions. In addition to uni-color versions, one can also choose two-tone resin floors, such as an industrial concrete look, marble look or other playful effect. Thanks to the many, surprising possibilities, you will definitely achieve more unity in your interior.
Waterproof
In a bathroom, you absolutely want the floor to be waterproof. By providing the resin floor with a moisture-resistant coating, moisture is prevented from soaking into the floor and reaching the subfloor (with all the associated consequences). This finish also makes a resin floor applicable for the shower area.
Underfloor heating
A (polyurethane) resin floor naturally feels warmer. That alone is pleasant. In addition, resin floors lend themselves well to underfloor heating, provided a number of important points of attention are observed, including maintaining sufficient curing time and following a heating protocol.
Softer floors
Resin floors can certainly take a beating, but like any other floor, they are never 100% scratch-resistant. The use of protective caps and doormats reduces the chance of scratching. Have scratches nevertheless developed over time despite careful use? Superficial wear spots can be made virtually invisible with a scrubbing or polishing machine. However, always have this performed by a recognized cleaning company. For larger damages, special repair kits offer a solution.
Drying time
Having a resin floor installed takes time. This is because a resin floor consists of multiple layers and only one layer can be laid per day. It is important that the floor cures well before the bathroom is put into use – allow for at least a week to avoid surprises afterwards.
