Resin floors are known for their durable and wear-resistant character. Yet they do not offer full protection against damage. Over time, scratches can occur or discolorations can appear. Fortunately, these problems can usually be solved quickly and easily. In this article, you can read more about the repair options for resin floors, so that you can enjoy them for years to come.
Superficial damage and signs of use
Despite careful use, small scratches can still occur on resin floors. Superficial signs of use can in most cases be undone with a scrubbing or polishing machine. Note: the resin floor repair of light wear spots is specialist work. For this reason, always have these activities performed by a resin floor specialist to prevent further damage.
Small damages
Are the scratches not repairable with a scrubbing or polishing machine? Then a new top layer sometimes offers a solution. By applying a new layer over the existing resin floor, the damages disappear and the floor looks like new again. Before the top layer can be applied, the resin floor is thoroughly cleaned and lightly sanded.
Deep scratches and cracks
In the case of deep scratches or cracks, replacing only the top layer will not be sufficient. It is wise to apply the resin floor again in its entirety because the damages have penetrated into multiple layers of the floor.
The advantage is then that you immediately enjoy a completely new resin floor that will last for years.
Discolorations
Light-colored resin floors can yellow slightly when in contact with sunlight. Any discolorations as a result of exposure to this can be solved in various ways:
- A new UV-resistant top layer. Discolorations are easily remedied by replacing the top layer. By choosing a UV-resistant top layer, your resin floor will discolor less quickly in the future;
- A new resin floor. Even a UV-resistant top layer will saturate over time when in contact with sunlight. Do you want a long-term solution against discolorations? Then a completely new resin floor is a wise choice. Think carefully about the choice of material and color to prevent future discolorations. An aliphatic resin floor, for example, is much better resistant to UV radiation than an aromatic resin floor.
