DURATECH

THE FLATTER, THE BETTER

At Duratech Surface Systems, we are committed to delivering flooring solutions that meet the highest industry standards. Our expertise in FM Standard floors and VNA Super Flat floors ensures that your flooring projects are completed with the utmost precision and compliance with TR34 standards. Here’s a closer look at how we excel in these critical areas.

Understanding FM Standard Floors

FM Standard floors are designed to meet rigorous specifications for flatness and durability, making them ideal for high-performance environments. These floors are tested and verified according to the standards set by FM Global, a leading provider of insurance and risk management solutions.

FM Standard Floors DM (1/2/3)

FM Standard floors are categorized into different levels of performance: DM1, DM2, and DM3. Each level represents specific requirements for floor flatness and surface regularity, tailored to different types of operations and facilities.

  • DM1: This is the most demanding category, requiring the highest level of flatness and surface regularity. It’s ideal for facilities with critical operations where precision is essential, such as high-tech manufacturing or pharmaceutical environments.
  • DM2: This level is suited for environments where a high degree of flatness is needed, but with slightly less stringent requirements than DM1. It’s perfect for distribution centres and large warehouses where smooth operations and material handling are key.
  • DM3: This category provides a good balance of performance and cost, meeting the needs of general industrial and commercial applications. It’s suitable for spaces where floor flatness is important but not critical to operations.
VNA Super Flat Floors as per TR34

VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) Super Flat floors are designed specifically for environments that use narrow aisles and high-density racking systems. These floors must meet exacting standards to support the efficient operation of VNA trucks and automated systems.

TR34 Compliance

TR34 is a comprehensive standard developed by the Concrete Society to ensure that industrial floors meet high-quality standards. It covers aspects such as:

  • Flatness and Levelness: TR34 specifies precise requirements for floor flatness and levelness to ensure smooth operation of warehouse equipment and minimal risk of product damage.
  • Surface Regularity: The standard includes detailed guidelines on surface regularity to ensure that the floor remains even under various loading conditions and operational stresses.
  • Load Bearing Capacity: Ensuring that the floor can handle the specific loads and stresses imposed by high-density racking systems and VNA equipment.
