Faq Floor
A floor FAQ covering common site questions on prep, curing, slip resistance, traffic loading and cleaning.
What teams usually ask about industrial floors
Faq Floor answers the site questions that come up most often before and after installation. The notes deal with preparation, curing, slip resistance, traffic loading and day-to-day cleaning.
Start the note with the slab type, the age of the pour, and what is happening on site now. Questions on curing, surface prep and dusting change between inland dry air and coastal humidity, and traffic from pallet jacks, forklifts or trolleys matters to every answer. The FAQ is written for active South African plants where shutdown windows, washdown routines and power cuts affect how work is planned.
Clear site photos help place each question in the right area before anyone comments on prep or coating failure. Include joints, cracks, drains, racking aisles and any patch repairs that are visible in the bay. A short dated record stops later confusion when different shifts describe the same slab in different ways.
Questions that matter on site
Teams usually raise the same issues before work starts and after handover. The focus stays on substrate condition, curing periods, slip resistance, loading and routine cleaning rather than broad product talk. The main risk points in the actual area need sorting early, rather than adding a long paper trail.
Send planned shut dates and a short note on cracks, dusting, curing, or coatings that have failed through the contact form. Include the plant name, area, traffic type, and whether cleaning uses water, detergents, or ride-on scrubbers.

Site conditions across South Africa
A warehouse in Jet Park, a food plant in Durban and a coastal workshop in Cape Town do not present the same slab behaviour. Moisture, salts, dust, washdown frequency and tyre traffic all influence what gets asked about adhesion, wear and slip risk. Older industrial premises can also carry hidden repairs, weak toppings or previous coatings that need to be identified first.
Inland sites often ask about dusting, dry cure conditions and marking visibility under constant traffic. Coastal sites more often need guidance on moisture, cleaning chemistry and how damp affects preparation windows. Where load-shedding changes production patterns, inspection and cure timing should be logged against the actual operating schedule.

What to send with your query
Send the floor FAQ with slab photos, site dates, and a plain note on cracks, dusting or coatings that have already let go. Keep the subject line specific to the plant and area.
If the area carries forklifts, racking loads or frequent washdowns, say so in plain terms. Those details help place the FAQ answers against the working conditions in that part of the plant.
