Airport Flooring
Arguably the flooring at an airport is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the world both inside the terminals and the operational areas, such as baggage halls and cargo buildings. In use day and night, 365 days of the year, each flooring area must be tailored to its usage, as well as adhering to statutory fire proof, non-slip and waterproof regulations.
Sika Flooring understands the composition of each floor, the legislation required and manages any installation from start to finish.
Flooring for Terminals, Departure Gates & Lounges
In constant use with high volumes of footfall, the terminal, departure gates’ and lounge flooring has to be comfortable for travellers and staff. The flooring has to be abrasion and slip resistant, as well as aesthetically attractive throughout the airport. Sika has worked on many airport projects throughout its long history and is able to give professional guidance to selecting a suitable flooring system.
Flooring for Aircraft Hangars
Aircraft hangars are important for not only for the storage and maintenance of the plane but also provide a fuelling area. Sika has a clear understanding of the regulations which floors must adhere to, as well as providing flooring specific to aircraft hangars for domestic flights and the aerospace sector.

FAQs
Terminal flooring must cope with extremely high footfall, baggage cart loads, rolling traffic and constant 24/7 use, while being slip‑resistant, fire‑compliant, waterproof and designed for ease of cleaning. Sika’s airport systems are tailored for comfort, durability and aesthetics in public passenger zones.
Hangars and aerospace zones require flooring that handles heavy loads, wheeled equipment, fuel‑spills, chemical exposures, abrasion and impact. Such spaces also benefit from anti‑static or conductive properties and seamless finishes to facilitate maintenance and hygiene. Sika addresses these demands with robust resin systems.
Sika flooring systems merge design flexibility (wide colour palettes, seamless finishes) with high performance attributes—durability, safety, easy maintenance. These floors enhance passenger experience and still meet rigorous performance criteria for public and operational airport areas.
Seamless resin floors eliminate joints that trap dirt or disrupt airflow, improve cleanliness, reduce maintenance downtime, and resist abrasion and chemical assault. In airports, where hygiene, continuous use and aesthetics matter, such systems provide long‑term value. Sika emphasises seamless coatings in its airport flooring portfolio.
Airport flooring must satisfy fire‑proofing, slip resistance, waterproofing and durability standards. Lifecycle cost is key: minimal maintenance, reduced downtime and long service life matter for 24/7 operations. Sika’s solutions emphasise low maintenance and long‑term performance to help achieve these outcomes.
