Quick Answer

What Is PU Flooring?

PU flooring is defined as a flooring system that uses polyurethane resin-based materials to form a continuous protective surface over a properly prepared substrate. The system normally uses several compatible layers. Depending on the project, these may include surface preparation, moisture-control treatment, primer, polyurethane body coats and a final topcoat.

PU flooring is not one single product. Different systems provide different levels of flexibility, hardness, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and surface comfort. Therefore, the correct system should match the actual conditions of the project.
