FeRFA No	Type	Description	Duty	Typical Thickness
1	Floor Seal	Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent or water borne	LD	> 150μm
2	Floor Coating	Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent free	LD / MD	150 - 300μm
3	High build floor coating	Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent free	MD	300 - 1000μm
4	Multi-layer flooring	Aggregate dressed systems based on multiple layers of floor coatings or flow-applied flooring, often described as sandwich systems	MD / HD	> 2mm
5	Flow-applied flooring	Often referred to as ‘self-smoothing’ or ‘self-levelling’ flooring and having a smooth surface	MD / HD	2 - 3mm
6	Resin screed flooring	Trowel-finished, heavily filled systems, generally incorporating a surface seal coat to minimise porosity	MD / HD	> 4mm
7	Heavy duty flowable flooring	Having a smooth surface	HD / VHD	4 - 6mm
8	Heavy duty resin flooring	Trowel-finished, aggregate filled systems effectively impervious throughout their thickness.	VHD	> 6mm

LD – light foot traffic, occasional rubber tyre vehicles, MD – regular foot traffic, frequent fork lift truck traffic, occasional hard plastic-wheeled trolleys, HD – constant fork lift truck traffic, hard plastic wheeled trolleys, some impact, VHD – severe heavily loaded traffic and impact
