PU Flooring
Polyurethane (PU) flooring is a tough, chemically resistant resin system valued for its thermal-shock resistance, flexibility, and durability under thermal cycling, steam cleaning, and heavy mechanical stress. POLYZEN engineers PU and polyurethane-cement floor systems — from substrate preparation to final seal — for food and beverage plants, cold stores, commercial kitchens, and demanding industrial environments where rigid epoxy alone can fall short.
How a POLYZEN PU floor is built
Survey & Mechanical Preparation
Diamond grinding or shot-blasting removes the weak laitance layer and opens the concrete profile for a true mechanical bond.
Moisture & Substrate Control
Substrate moisture and soundness are assessed; polyurethane-cement systems tolerate higher residual moisture than epoxy, but cracks and defects are still repaired first.
Priming
A primer or scratch coat keys the system to the prepared slab.
System Build-Up
The defining layer — self-leveling PU pour or trowel-applied polyurethane-cement screed — chosen for the area's thermal, wet, and mechanical duty.
Finish & Seal
A chemical- and abrasion-resistant PU seal; anti-slip texture or hygienic coving added where the application demands.
Cure & Handover
Controlled cure with staged return-to-service; polyurethane-cement systems often allow faster reopening than epoxy.
PU flooring systems
PU Self-Leveling Flooring
A smooth, seamless, flexible floor that absorbs movement and thermal stress.
Primer → self-leveling PU pour → spike-roller de-aeration → durable seal
PU Concrete Flooring
Slurry-grade polyurethane cement for wet processing and washdown areas.
Primer → slurry-applied PU-cement body → aggregate broadcast → seal
PU Screed Flooring
Maximum-thickness trowel screed for extreme thermal shock and heavy impact.
Primer → heavy trowel-applied PU screed → power-float → seal
Food-Grade PU Flooring
Hygienic, steam-cleanable PU floors built for food-safety compliance.
Primer → seamless PU body → integral coving → hygienic seal

Frequently asked questions
What is PU flooring?
A polyurethane resin floor system known for thermal-shock resistance, flexibility, and chemical durability — often built as polyurethane cement for wet and high-temperature areas.
How is a PU floor different from epoxy?
PU floors flex and tolerate temperature swings and steam cleaning far better than rigid epoxy, which makes them the preferred choice for wet processing, cold stores, and hot kitchens.
Is PU flooring good for food and beverage facilities?
Yes — polyurethane-cement floors are steam-cleanable, hygienic, and withstand the wet, hot, and chemical conditions typical of food processing.
How thick is a PU screed floor?
Thickness is specified to the area's duty — light self-leveling systems are thinner, while heavy-duty PU screeds are built up considerably for extreme thermal and impact loads.
Can PU flooring handle thermal shock and steam cleaning?
Yes — thermal-shock resistance is a defining strength of polyurethane-cement systems, which tolerate steam cleaning and rapid hot-cold cycling.
Which PU system is right for my facility?
It depends on temperature, moisture, chemical exposure, and traffic — POLYZEN surveys the site and engineers the correct system.
