What Is M12 Resin Flooring Used For?

M12 resin flooring is used in environments where hygiene, strength, and easy maintenance are essential. It’s commonly specified in manufacturing sites, food processing plants, hospitals, and transport hubs for its smooth finish, chemical resistance, and long-term reliability.

These flooring systems are ideal for settings that demand seamless, self-smoothing surfaces capable of withstanding heavy use and strict cleaning regimes.

What Types Of M12 Resin Flooring Are Available?

M12 resin flooring comes in a variety of finishes to suit different operational requirements.

Popular types include:

• Self-smoothing resin for seamless, hygienic applications
• Anti-slip aggregates for wet areas and ramps
• ESD (electrostatic dissipative) systems for electronics or lab use
• Decorative quartz or flake systems for public-facing zones

What Does M12 Mean In Resin Flooring?

M12 refers to a classification within the National Building Specification (NBS), used to define flow-applied polyurethane or epoxy resin systems.

These systems are poured in liquid form and level themselves to create a smooth, durable finish. M12 resin floors typically fall within FeRFA Type 5 to 7 standards, making them suitable for medium- to heavy-duty use in both industrial and commercial facilities.

What Are The Key Benefits Of M12 Resin Flooring?

M12 resin flooring delivers high durability, withstanding heavy traffic, impact, and wear, making it ideal for industrial and commercial spaces. Its strong chemical resistance protects surfaces from spills, oils, and harsh cleaning agents.

The seamless, non-porous finish ensures hygienic performance by preventing dirt and bacteria buildup, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance. Slip resistance can be added for enhanced safety in wet or high-risk areas.

How Much Does M12 Resin Flooring Cost?

Costs for M12 resin flooring start from £20 to £80 per square metre. These costs vary depending on system type, size, and finish.

Factors that influence cost include floor preparation, chosen resin system (e.g., polyurethane vs. epoxy), decorative options, and thickness. We provide tailored pricing based on your project’s needs, specifications, and location.

What Substrates Are Required For M12 Resin Flooring?

M12 resin flooring requires a stable and properly prepared substrate to ensure durability and performance, including:

• Concrete – The most common base, providing strong adhesion when properly cured and primed.
• Cement screeds – A smooth and level surface that enhances resin bonding.
• Plywood – Used in specific applications but must be securely fixed and primed.
• Metal surfaces – Require special primers for adhesion and protection against corrosion.
• Existing resin floors – Can be overlaid if the surface is in good condition and correctly prepared.

How Is M12 Resin Flooring Installed?

M12 flooring systems are installed by mechanical preparation (grinding or shot-blasting), moisture testing, application of primers, and pouring the resin.

The material is spread to the required thickness and allowed to cure for 12 to 48 hours depending on the product. During this period, foot and vehicle traffic is restricted to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish.

How Long Does M12 Resin Flooring Last?

M12 resin flooring systems last between 5 and 20+ years, depending on usage and upkeep. Light-use areas with proper maintenance can expect up to two decades of performance, while high-traffic industrial floors may require resurfacing after 5–10 years.
