• What types of resin flooring do you install?

    At Shier Coatings Ltd we install a wide range of industrial resin flooring systems including epoxy resin coatings, epoxy resin screed, polyurethane (PU) screed, MMA resin flooring and decorative flake flooring systems. Each flooring type is selected based on the operational requirements of the environment.

  • What is epoxy resin flooring used for?

    Epoxy resin flooring is widely used in warehouses, workshops, commercial units and industrial facilities. It provides a seamless, durable surface that resists chemicals, heavy traffic and daily wear while remaining easy to clean and maintain.

  • What is the difference between epoxy flooring and polyurethane screed?

    Epoxy flooring is typically used for general commercial and industrial environments, while polyurethane (PU) screed is designed for more demanding areas such as food production facilities, commercial kitchens and cold storage environments where thermal shock and heavy cleaning are common.

  • What is MMA resin flooring?

    MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) resin flooring is a fast-curing flooring system that can be installed quickly and returned to service within hours. It is often used where downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum, such as in busy industrial or food production facilities.

  • What are epoxy flake flooring systems?

    Epoxy flake flooring systems combine a durable resin base with decorative vinyl flakes to create a textured, slip-resistant and visually appealing surface. They are commonly used in automotive workshops, showrooms and commercial units where both durability and appearance are important.

  • Do you provide concrete floor preparation before installing resin flooring?

    Yes. Proper preparation is essential for the performance of any resin flooring system. At Shier Coatings Ltd we carry out professional mechanical preparation including diamond grinding, shot blasting, coating removal and surface profiling to ensure the new flooring system bonds correctly.

  • What is concrete polishing and where is it used?

    Concrete polishing is a mechanical process that refines the concrete surface using specialist diamond grinding and polishing equipment. The result is a durable, low-maintenance and visually attractive floor that works well in warehouses, commercial units, retail spaces and industrial environments.

  • What is expansion joint refurbishment?

    Expansion joint refurbishment involves removing damaged joint materials and repairing surrounding concrete before installing new joint systems. This process helps protect concrete floors from slab edge damage and ensures the floor remains safe and stable under heavy traffic.

  • Why are polyurea expansion joints used in industrial floors?

    Polyurea joint systems are widely used because they are flexible, durable and fast-curing. They allow concrete slabs to move naturally while maintaining a smooth, flush finish that performs well under forklift and vehicle traffic.

  • What is industrial floor line marking used for?

    Industrial line marking is used to create clear safety zones and organised working areas in commercial facilities. Markings can identify pedestrian walkways, forklift routes, loading bays, hazard areas and emergency escape routes.

  • Can safety line marking be applied to existing floors?

    Yes. Safety line marking can be installed on existing concrete floors, resin flooring systems and refurbished industrial surfaces once the area has been properly cleaned and prepared.

  • What is commercial cladding spraying?

    Cladding spraying is a refurbishment process that involves spray-applying specialist coatings to existing metal cladding panels. This restores the colour, protects the surface from weathering and improves the appearance of commercial buildings without replacing the cladding.

  • Is cladding spraying cheaper than replacing cladding?

    Yes. In many cases, cladding spraying can be completed at a fraction of the cost of full cladding replacement while still significantly improving the appearance and protection of the building.

  • How long do industrial coating and flooring systems last?

    The lifespan of industrial flooring or coating systems depends on the environment, traffic levels and maintenance. However, professionally installed systems can often provide many years of reliable performance when correctly specified and maintained.

  • Do you work outside South Wales?

    Yes. Although Shier Coatings Ltd is based in South Wales, we undertake commercial and industrial projects across the UK, working with businesses, contractors and facility managers nationwide.
