With the modesty and confidence in its own capabilities that have always distinguished it, Mombrini carried out a series of trials which, over the following years, produced results such that in 1962 its installers completed their first clinker industrial floor sealed with resin at the butter plant of Latteria Soresinese. That floor is still in excellent condition today. Among the installers was Gianni Mombrini himself, who from that moment on devoted every effort to improving installation techniques and the organization of the company he now leads.
According to Mombrini’s technicians, industrial clinker flooring sealed with epoxy resin represents the optimal solution for most usage conditions and stress levels in production areas, particularly within the food industry and beyond. Among the possible alternatives, to this day there appear to be no solutions that are truly valid, not only from an aesthetic standpoint but also in terms of long-term durability.
Unfortunately, a countless number of improvisers in the field of tiled and non-tiled flooring often lead to the indiscriminate use of even good-quality products, proposing quick and superficial solutions that, over time, inevitably require continuous and endless maintenance work.
As confirmation of the excellent performance that clinker-plus-resin flooring can provide, Mombrini submitted a sample to the laboratory of the Centro Ceramico di Bologna, which issued positive certification regarding the non-slip properties of the surface under various conditions of use, as well as the results of resistance tests—mechanical resistance, abrasion resistance, and resistance to the most common chemical agents.
