Jointless industrial flooring to optimise durability and operational efficiency in working environments. This is one of the developments that is changing the industry, the increasing use of jointless solutions.
Over the years, concrete surfaces have always been divided by contraction joints, structural elements designed to control the inevitable cracking caused by material shrinkage during curing. However, these same joints have proved to be critical points in the pavement, particularly vulnerable to deterioration caused by the constant passage of industrial vehicles and equipment.
Eliminating joints therefore has a number of benefits. Firstly, the durability of the entire surface is increased, as the removal of these weak points significantly reduces the risk of cracking and premature wear. Maintenance becomes much easier, resulting in lower costs and less downtime.
The creation of jointless pavements requires advanced technologies such as the Laser Screed, a machine that enables extremely precise and uniform paving of concrete, ensuring a compact and durable surface. At the same time, the use of fibre-reinforced concretes and the addition of special additives is another factor that improves the mechanical performance of the pavement and allows large areas to be covered without the need for contraction joints.
These solutions are ideal for industrial environments characterised by heavy movement, such as warehouses, logistics centres and manufacturing plants, where the continuity of the surface is a determining factor in the efficiency of daily operations.
The use of jointless flooring is not enough without the help of specialised design and installation professionals. At Elle&P, we are general flooring contractors because we take care of all the phases of a project: from design to inspection, from implementation to after-sales service, choosing the most appropriate solution for each requirement.
