Flooring in public spaces plays a key role. It is heavily used and its appearance has a huge impact on the perception of the aesthetics of the entire facility. A well-designed interior creates a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.
In buildings such as hotels, restaurants, schools, office buildings, fitness clubs or even doctors' offices, we can use the environment to create the feelings we want, such as to stimulate learning or calm and soothe. Flooring is one of the tools through which we can build an atmosphere relevant to the function of a building. An interior that is consistent with the purpose of the room is the key to success!

However, flooring in buildings where hundreds or even thousands of people move around every day (universities, hospitals, libraries, shopping malls, etc.) must meet more than just aesthetic requirements. So what should the ideal floor be like? Well, it must meet several requirements simultaneously:
- durable
- safe
- easy to maintain
- comfortable
- noise-absorbing
and as mentioned earlier: - aesthetic and adapted to the character of the building.
Polyurethane floors are one of the few flooring systems that meet all the requirements for them! MasterTop systems are characterized by elasticity and high resilience. They are resistant to cracking and scratching, as well as extremely durable. They are ideal for public and commercial spaces, hospitals and schools. They are completely seamless (non-dilatation), which strongly contributes to their visual and aesthetic appeal. In addition, they are hygienic, easy to clean and provide walking comfort. We offer, among others, bacteriostatic floors, soundproofing floors (up to 20 dB!), anti-slip floors.

The requirements for a flooring system largely depend on the intended use of the building - whether it be an office building, administrative building, hotel, restaurant, store or shopping center. Joint-free flooring systems are applied in liquid form and can be customized to meet the individual requirements of a specific project. The poured floors lie as well as a tailor-made suit, and last up to 50 years.
"Time is money" - when Benjamin Franklin formulated this proverb, he was thinking mainly of speed, but specialists who favor a holistic approach know that "lifetimeis money." In order to make a well-established assessment of the cost of a flooring system, it is necessary to take into account not only the initial investment, but also the cost of maintenance, repair and service life. This is the only way to effectively compare different types of floor coverings. In life-cycle analysis of this type, our flooring systems have more than once convincingly demonstrated their cost-effectiveness.
Did you know that 80 percent of the total cost of a floor covering is not due to installation, but to cleaning and maintenance? Our flooring systems, thanks to their homogeneous surface and monolithic bonding to the substrate, are very easy to clean, and are therefore associated with savings in significant maintenance costs over the life of the floor.

Reliable cleanliness is essential in public spaces in more than one respect. You need a floor covering option that ensures hygiene and ease of cleaning. Equally important are non-slip properties, especially in wet areas, as well as a long service life. Only when these requirements are met will you be able to use the room without reservations. The MasterTop flooring system offers the perfect solution for such requirements. This low-tension flooring provides great walking comfort and is especially pleasant in areas intended for barefoot walking, such as showers and changing rooms. The non-slip properties ensure safety in wet areas and prevent accidents. As with all our MasterTop flooring systems, the surface is uniform and easy to clean.

There are rooms that simply cannot perform their functions without the right flooring. In a library, for example, a quiet atmosphere is almost as important as a large stock of books. In many other areas, avoiding outside noise to the extent possible is also essential. Fitness and wellness areas are primarily used to release excess energy, but training and relaxation are also a source of positive energy. In designing these types of buildings and rooms, it is important to find the right balance of functionality and aesthetics. MasterTop is the only polyurethane resin-based flooring system with a flow-applied elastic layer for minimizing footstep and impact noise. In the room itself, the flooring provides a high level of walking comfort and virtually eliminates step noise. MasterTop reduces vertical sound transmission to neighboring rooms by 15-20 dB!
