Warehouse Flooring Project – Case Study

Challenge: A manufacturing company faced significant issues with their existing epoxy floor in their warehouse facility. The floor was excessively slippery, impacting warehouse productivity and causing downtime due to safety concerns.

Customer Needs: The client sought a warehouse flooring solution that offered:

• Superior slip resistance to ensure worker safety.
• Exceptional durability to withstand heavy-duty machinery, including forklifts exceeding 4 tons.
• Compatibility with a slightly sloped area within the warehouse.
• Easy installation process to minimise disruption.
• Option for bonding to the existing epoxy floor for additional strength (if needed).

Flexi-Tile Solution: After careful evaluation of the client’s needs, Flexi-Tile recommended the 10mm Heavy-Duty Floor Tile for this project. 

Key Advantages of Flexi-Tile for Warehouses:

• Enhanced Slip Resistance: Flexi-Tile’s R10 certified slip rating offers excellent traction, perfect for warehouse environments. Additional surface finishes and coatings further enhance safety.
• Heavy-Duty Performance: Manufactured from high-quality materials, Flexi-Tile tiles are designed to withstand heavy workloads exceeding 1000kg, making them ideal for industrial settings.
• Sloped Floor Compatibility: Flexi-Tile’s interlocking design allows for installation on uneven surfaces with a gradient of up to 7mm per 2m on concrete subfloors and 5mm per 2m for wood subfloors. For steeper slopes, self-levelling compounds or adhesives can be used, with expert guidance provided by Flexi-Tile.
• Simplified Installation: Flexi-Tile’s modular tiles offer a loose-lay installation process, eliminating the need for direct bonding in most cases. However, adhesive bonding on epoxy floors is possible for additional strength.

Customer Satisfaction: The client was hugely satisfied with the outcome. They successfully installed the Flexi-Tile system using their own staff and praised the product’s ease of use, durability and superior grip. The new floor has significantly transformed their workspace and improved overall productivity.
