A lot of demand is placed on retail floors. They need to be able to withstand regular traffic - sometimes fast-paced - of both customers and employees, and it needs to look good and professional at all times. Not only does that mean it needs to be attractive, but it needs to be relatively easy to clean, or your establishment is going to look shoddy real quick, and that’s never good for business. One of the best types of flooring to meet all your retail requirements is MMA (methyl methacrylate). As you research your options in floor coating surface preparation in New England, here are some reasons to consider MMA.
The last thing you want to have to worry about is enduring a lot of downtime for your floor installation. Every minute waiting for your flooring to cure is another minute lost in sales. MMA, however, requires only about one to two hours for the physical and chemical curing to be completed. Once completed, you can put your floor - and your business - back to work.
Your retail floor needs to look slick, but feel firm. Not only is it necessary so that you and your customers are safe from falls, but you’ll need that traction to speedily move goods from one part of the store to the other. MMA flooring is available in several grades of slip resistance, so you can install exactly the degree of texture that your business requires.
Retail floors are always at risk of staining. Between falling victim to accidents occurring on behalf of customers to the kind of stains and marks that take place over years of heavy use, it doesn’t take much for your once pristine workspace floor to start looking dirty. MMA is resistant to the kinds of stains resulting from most types of spilled chemicals and food items, and is unlikely to be either stained or discolored from regular service.
Since MMA is impermeable to liquids, it’s incredibly easy to clean. A damp mop and soap is practically all that’s required to clean an MMA floor. It’s also resistant to pinholes, so dirt and bacteria is unlikely to ever penetrate, keeping you, your customers, and products safe from disease.
Miss that lovely shine that was there the day your MMA floor was installed? Not a problem. An additional layer can be applied to your floor at any time for a quick and easy refurbishment. Not only will it look good as new, it will reinforce your floor’s protective and slip-resistant qualities as well.
Besides providing all the practical advantages required of your retail space, MMA looks good doing it. The slick and attractive appearance has the effect of making your whole environment look clean and pleasant. Also, several colors are available, so you’ll always be able to find a design that matches your business.
