Laboratory Flooring Installers for Research, University & R&D Facilities
In research and laboratory environments, the performance of the floor is critical. At Northern Star Flooring, we specialise in resin laboratory flooring for universities, R&D centres, and scientific research facilities. Our seamless, chemical-resistant systems are built to withstand solvents, spills, heat and heavy equipment, while also supporting hygiene, safety and long-term durability.
Whether you’re building a new teaching laboratory, upgrading an analytical chemistry suite, or refitting a multi-use research facility, we’ll specify and install a resin flooring system that’s designed to perform under demanding scientific conditions.
In a lab, flooring needs to be much more than flat and clean. It needs to be hygienic, chemically stable and robust under constant use. Our resin-based laboratory flooring systems offer seamless surfaces that are resistant to staining, solvents and repeated cleaning, ensuring a safe, compliant and professional working environment.
We work with research and academic clients across the UK, delivering:
- non-porous, seamless floors for improved hygiene
- chemical and solvent resistance for safe spill management
- abrasion-resistant surfaces for heavy equipment and lab traffic
- ESD-compatible options to protect sensitive electronics and instrumentation
Why Choose Laboratory Flooring?
Laboratories require flooring that can handle chemical exposure, rigorous cleaning, and precise operational control. Our resin systems are engineered specifically for the demands of R&D and teaching environments, helping to maintain a safe and compliant space.
Chemical Resistance for Solvents and Reagents
From acids and alkalis to solvents and buffers, laboratories expose floors to constant chemical challenge. Resin flooring is non-porous and highly resistant, ensuring spills can be cleaned quickly without damage or staining.
Safe and Durable Under Heavy Use
Lab floors must cope with foot traffic, equipment movement, trolleys and occasional impact from apparatus. Resin systems provide a tough, seamless surface that’s designed to last, even under heavy laboratory use.
Seamless Hygiene and Easy Cleaning
No grout, no joints, no crevices. Resin flooring provides a smooth, continuous finish that prevents bacteria build-up and simplifies wash-down and sanitisation. It’s ideal for environments that demand clean, controlled conditions.
Our Laboratory Flooring Options
Heavy Duty Polyurethane Screeds
For environments exposed to heat, impact or harsh chemical cleaning, polyurethane screeds offer outstanding long-term durability. Ideal for research facilities handling solvents, acids or high-temperature processes.
Self Levelling Polyurethane Screeds
Where both hygiene and thermal shock resistance matter, self-levelling polyurethane provides a seamless, chemical-resistant finish. Perfect for multi-use teaching labs and specialist instrument rooms.
High Build Epoxy Floor Coatings
Epoxy coatings create a durable, hygienic surface ideal for general laboratory areas, sample prep rooms and storage zones. They deliver excellent chemical resistance and a smooth finish that enhances lighting and cleanliness.
Self Levelling Epoxy Screeds
For laboratory environments where appearance, hygiene and chemical resistance are equally important, self-levelling epoxies provide a high-quality, clean and reflective finish ideal for research suites and teaching areas.
ESD Anti Static Flooring Systems
Static control is critical in labs dealing with sensitive measurement systems, electronics, or data capture equipment. Our ESD resin flooring safely dissipates static build-up while maintaining a hygienic, non-porous surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laboratory Flooring
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about laboratory flooring:
What makes a floor suitable for laboratories?
A laboratory floor must be chemically resistant, non-porous, seamless and easy to clean. Resin flooring systems are ideal because they tolerate spills, solvents and repeated washing without breaking down.
Which resin system is best for my laboratory?
It depends on your environment. Polyurethane screeds are excellent for heavy duty and thermal risk areas, while self-levelling epoxy screeds are ideal for clean, dry research spaces. We specify the right system after a site survey.
Can floors be installed while a lab is operational?
Yes. We can install in phases, or outside working hours, and we offer fast-curing systems where downtime must be kept to a minimum.
Are your flooring systems slip-resistant?
Yes, we can adjust the finish to suit the environment. Smooth finishes for clean rooms, slightly textured finishes for solvent handling zones.
Will resin flooring resist chemicals and solvents?
Yes. Resin systems offer excellent resistance to common laboratory chemicals, helping prevent damage and staining.
How long will laboratory flooring last?
A correctly specified and installed resin system can last 10-20 years depending on use, cleaning and chemical exposure.
