Yes, provided the correct cleaning equipment and cleaning regime are observed and maintained. Degafloor recommends the DegaWash machine—a robust dual-cylinder scrubber designed for resin floors, carpets, entrance matting, and stairs.
Yes, our systems can be designed to withstand constant hot water temperatures of up to 80 °C, which includes resistance to properly used steam cleaning. Take a look at our YouTube video to see the DegaWash machine cleaning a resin floor.
Yes, underfloor heating is compatible with resin flooring. During installation, the underfloor heating must be turned off, and the substrate should be allowed to cool. Two hours after installation, the heating system can be gradually reactivated.
Please note: Underfloor heating plastic tubes must be checked for compatibility with our resins prior to installation.
We have chosen not to market these additives primarily because all Degafloor resin systems are smooth, seamless, and free of ‘pinhole’ defects, eliminating dirt traps where bacteria could harbor.
We suggest reviewing the available evidence before specifying additives that cannot be removed once in the floor. The best way to control bacterial growth is to implement a comprehensive and regular cleaning regime, and we are happy to provide advice on this.
Step 1 — Primer
Most resin floors utilise a primer that penetrates and reacts with the substrate to create a high-strength and reliable bond, which is essential for the longevity of the floor.
Step 2 — Body coat
The primer is typically followed by a main structural layer, often referred to as the bodycoat. This layer provides the bulk of the floor thickness and contributes key performance elements such as impact resistance, flexibility, and compressive strength, while also defining the decorative finish of the floor.
Step 3 — Seal Coat
Most resin floors are finished with one to three seal coats that encapsulate the body coat and decorative elements, providing final performance characteristics such as chemical and wear resistance.

Car park installation times differ on a project-by-project basis. Degafloor waterproof car park coatings and line marking systems can be installed rapidly (often as a single layer application) and achieve full chemical and physical cure in less than one hour at temperatures down to -10 °C, enabling businesses to resume operations almost immediately after the works have been completed.
To ensure high standards of installation, Degafloor only supplies car park decking and line marking resins to Degafloor Approved Installers who have extensive experience not just in car park decking application, but predominantly in the application of fast curing resin car park solutions and line marking products.
Degafloor’s Car Park and Line Marking Systems are cost effective, easy to install systems manufactured from technically advanced methyl methacrylate resin (MMA), this cold-applied system offers outstanding durability, flexibility and resistance to extreme operating conditions.
