Mortar floor

What is a mortar floor?

A mortar floor, also called trowel floor or PMMA floor called, is an extremely strong and durable commercial floor based on PMMA (PolyMethylMethAcrylate). This floor is characterised by fast curing, making it fully loadable within a few hours. This makes the mortar floor ideal for renovation projects and environments where minimal downtime is essential.

Applications of mortar flooring

Mortar floors are suitable for various sectors and applications. In industry, they comply with strict HACCP guidelines and offer a low-maintenance, liquid-proof solution. In warehouses and car parks, they withstand heavy mechanical loads and heavy traffic. The automotive sector benefits from their wear and chemical resistance, while car washes benefit from their liquid-proof and low-maintenance properties. In retail, offices and showrooms, mortar flooring also offers a sleek and modern design.

A floor with versatile properties

A mortar floor combines strength, durability and ease of maintenance. The floor is completely impermeable to dirt and liquids, offering an extremely hygienic solution. This makes it ideal for the food and hospitality sector, such as bakeries, butcher shops and professional kitchens. Thanks to its hard-wearing and scratch-resistant properties, it is also very suitable for industrial applications. Whether it is a functional work floor or a stylish showroom, the floor adapts effortlessly to any environment.

How is mortar flooring applied?

A mortar floor is applied in four layers. First, the substrate is cleaned and, if necessary, sanded. This is followed by a primer coat for optimum adhesion. Next, the mortar compound is applied with granules to determine colour and structure. Finally, the sealer layer ensures chemical resistance and a watertight finish. Within two hours, the floor is fully cured and ready for use.

Strong mortar systems for your shop floor

When you need a floor that has to withstand the heaviest mechanical loads, a mortar system is a smart investment. These floors are incredibly powerful due to their dense structure, but don't forget that for a completely liquid-tight seal on your walls, you also need a sleek acrylic wall coating you can have installed. We will ensure that your entire space is professionally executed to the highest standards.

The durability of these floors ensures that you will not have to worry about major maintenance for many years. To seal the transition between your new floor and the walls perfectly and hygienically, you can also choose to install impact-resistant plastic skirting boards. This creates a seamless joint that prevents dirt accumulation and significantly speeds up the cleaning of your premises.
