The requirements for flooring in production shops of heavy engineering, metallurgy, petrochemical processing complexes, as well as enterprises providing maintenance services for tracked and special equipment are quite high. They are regulated by GOST criteria and in most cases it is recommended to use metal tiles for its arrangement (the main types are presented on the manufacturer's website www.plitka-metall.ru ) which:
- Eliminates the destruction (formation of cracks, rutting, depressions) of the concrete base as a result of significant physical impact (vertical load).
- Insensitive to high or low temperatures, as well as their sudden changes.
- Resistant to chemically active media and corrosion caused by high humidity.
The main advantages of using this particular finishing material for arranging the floors of industrial enterprises include ease of installation, maintenance and durability.
Classification by species
Like any other building or finishing material, metal tiles are available in several types (model versions). They concern primarily the material (metal) from which it is made:
- Cast iron is the most affordable format.
- A specific steel grade - selected depending on the customer's production criteria (for example, heat-resistant for metallurgical production).
- Galvanized or stainless steel - in demand for the arrangement of floor coverings in the shops of the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
Another criterion is that the thickness of the tiles (from 1 to 2.5 mm) is selected depending on the expected load that the floor covering will experience during operation (the higher the load, the greater the thickness indicator).
