Floors

Synthetic resin, pre-cast concrete, engineered wood, raised access and ceramic tiled floors are all covered in this selection of CPD materials from the RIBA CPD Providers Network.

The Guide gives recommendations for the classification of resin flooring types, the design process, correct substrate preparation prior to application, followed by inspection and testing. Its scope includes all floorings based on liquid synthetic resin binders, in which curing takes place by chemical reaction of the resin components, applied to a direct finished concrete slab or screed or to an existing concrete floor.

This seminar serves to dispel much of the myth and misinformation surrounding the performance of different types of resin floor. It lays out the different ways in which the main resin groups work and allows architects and specifiers to make informed decisions about which resin to use in what situation.
