Polymer Floors

Epoxy, urethane, polyaspartic, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) based finishes

Coatings, mortars and broadcast systems

The ever increasing range of polymer floor finishes available in the market demands that installers have the training and experience to ensure the floor will perform as expected and looks great.


At Ancrstone we have worked extensively with many different types of polymer floor finishes. This experience ensures we are able to accurately assess specified requirements and site conditions, and confidently install each type of floor finish.

Polymer floor finishes incorporate different resin chemistries, and combinations of aggregates and other components to create surfaces with unique physical and performance characteristics.


Each type of finish has a specific installation methodology, and the knowledge and experience of the installation team is essential.

Selecting a floor finish

We work with the industry-leading manufacturers to ensure we have the capability to install the specified finish, and we can assist you in selecting the right finish for your project. Each environment has a unique set of conditions that determine the relative importance of performance characteristics required in the floor finish. These are some of the main considerations for performance characteristics used in selecting polymer floors.

  • Wear, Impact Resistance

    The ability of the floor finish to withstand the mechanical forces applied to it on a daily basis.

  • Chemical Resistance

    The chemistry of the finish is designed to withstand the corrosive effects of the chemical compounds present.

  • Resistance to Thermal Shock, Cycling

    Floors that are exposed to extreme temperatures variations require special formulations to allow expansion and contraction without cracking.

  • Slip-Resistance

    The surface texture of the finish is often an essential safety feature to help prevent slips and falls even when floors are wet and greasy.

  • Ease of Maintenance & Cleaning

    Facilities have varying degrees of requirements for cleaning of surfaces. Polymer floor finishes are often carefully selected for their cleanability and the type and frequency of cleaning required.

  • Sound & Shock Attenuation

    Although polymer floors are typically very hard surfaces, specially formulated materials have been developed that can absorb a degree of shock and sound to help create better working conditions.

  • Aesthetics

    The floor finish can be an important interior design element, and polymer floors offer a very large palette of colours, pattern and textures for the designer. It is important to consider not just how the floor finish looks on the first day, but how it will wear and develop a desirable patina after years of use.
