Distribution & Warehousing

The floor finish in warehouse and distribution centres is crucial to the “smooth” running of the facility, as any bumps, cracks or flaws in its surface can have serious consequences on the ability of lift trucks to move quickly and efficiently, which is especially important in sites that have Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) racking systems.

To achieve this the screed and finish need to be laid flat, to Surface Regularity (SR) 1, in a 360° arc across the floor - so that it is level when moving in any direction. Flowcrete South Africa can provide specialist resin finishes that can be poured in-situ to create surfaces that meet this standard of smoothness.

Signage and navigational signage can be utilised within a warehouse to improve workflow around the site by making the most efficient routes around the facility easy to identify. It is also an effective way to highlight important safety issues, such as areas that include hazardous materials or where cross contamination is a concern.
