Common problems and solutions for workshop flooring

Many workshops experience severe floor wear after a few years of use. In the past few years, most workshops would choose cement self leveling construction for their floors, which increases the likelihood of problems in later use. Overall, what are the impacts of workshop flooring issues on enterprises?

1. As the main production site, the workshop is usually visited by customers or leaders before signing contracts or inspecting the company to understand the production process and overall production situation, and to comfort employees; If the ground is full of pits and dust, customers or leaders will definitely be dissatisfied and the company will lose many customers. 

2. Some factories still have a lot of raw materials and electronic components piled up, and dust on the ground can easily adhere to these materials and electronic components, which will bring trouble to product quality and production, and will definitely produce defective products, which will affect the company's brand image.

3. The factory is equipped with high-end mechanical equipment, and ground dust can easily adhere to or penetrate these devices, causing equipment malfunctions; This not only delays the factory's production, causing delays in orders and resulting in compensation, but also requires the company to spend a lot of funds on repairing equipment. 

After three to four years of use, ordinary cement concrete floors will experience varying degrees of sanding and dust under the action of forklifts. With the increase of service life, combined with carbonization, water erosion, and weathering, the surface of the floor will continue to powder, which not only affects the aesthetics of the floor, but also affects its normal use.

If the workshop floor is not treated, there will be a lot of dust and pits on the floor, and the relevant certifications of the factory (such as ISO9001, ISO9002, ISO14000, etc.) will not be passed, which will affect the relevant qualifications of the enterprise.

6. Terrazzo floor and floor tile floor can solve the problem of sand and dust generation, but their surface layer is peeled off from the concrete base layer. Under the action of gravity, it is easy to cause the surface layer to shell, hollow, crack, and fall off, which not only affects the flatness and cleanliness of the ground, but also increases the damage area with use, shortens the service life, and affects normal use.

7. Epoxy flooring peeling, blistering, damage, etc.
