specifying a new flooring surface can be a real headache for facilities managers…

www.flowcreteaustralia.com.au

often occupants or users can overlook the importance of

what’s underfoot

but facilities managers understand that no other surface in the building gets as much use as the floor

www.flowcreteaustralia.com.au

so an informed & prudent choice at the start of your development project is critical to preventing tragic results

www.flowcreteaustralia.com.au

there are many safety factors at play...

1the function of the space

www.flowcreteaustralia.com.au

will it be subject to chemical attack, oil & grease spillages or temperature variances?

2 traffic levels

www.flowcreteaustralia.com.au

it’s common sense that high-traffic areas will require heavy-duty materials

3 ease of maintenance

over its life, a floor’s maintenance costs can outgrow its installation cost if it’s not easy to keep clean

4repair flexibility

if a localised area of the floor is damaged how easy & cost-effective will it be to repair?

5 service life

just how long can you

expect the floor to function without having to do this all over again?

faced with impending downtime & loss of revenue another consideration is without doubt monetary

that’s where a lifecycle cost analysis will come in handy

the cheapest material to install is often the most expensive over a 15 year+ period due to high cleaning, maintenance & repair costs

it’s also important to think about what happens at the end of the floor’s life…

www.flowcreteaustralia.com.au

will it prove costly to remove, dispose of & replace?
