Which Are The Best Floors For The Food And Drinks Industry?

Hygiene and safety are two critical considerations when choosing a commercial floor for your food and drink production areas.

These spaces are usually busy and fast paced, so protecting the wellbeing of your workers as they go about their work is only right and proper. Some of the food stuffs they will be handling such as natural acids, oils and fats, sugar, blood and other foodstuffs – will inevitably end up as spills on the floor, creating a challenging wet process environment.

That’s why we recommend a Polyurethane Resin Flooring System to our clients who operate in this sector. Two of the most popular floors we install in these food preparation areas is Ucrete UD200 which is a superior resin flooring brand manufactured by Sika, and the ResDev Pumadur HF system which is an excellent alternative if cost is a key factor in the decision making.

There are many reasons for installing a Polyurethane Resin Flooring System – especially in fish, meat and poultry processing areas, chiller and freezer rooms, baking rooms, ingredient stores, washrooms, milk production and brewery.

Benefits of installing a Polyurethane Resin Flooring System:

• Hygienic – it won’t support the growth of bacteria, germs and mould, which is exactly what you want in these wet process rooms. And because there’s a smooth transition from floor to wall during installation, with nil or minimal joints its hygiene rating is strengthened.
• Safe – lightly textured, it further improves resistance to slips.
• Impervious – this outstanding resin flooring technology has incredible resistance to food and liquid products and won’t allow fluids to pass through it.
• Rapid cure – reduced operation downtime if you’re working to a tight construction schedule where minimal disruption is critical.
• Odourless – it won’t contaminate foodstuffs during installation.
• Temperature – it has extraordinary resistance to very cold and hot conditions.
• Easy to clean – can withstand steam cleaning with aggressive chemicals that won’t interfere with the performance of the floor.
• Longevity – designed to last years, even with heavy foot traffic and abrasive machinery traffic.
• Colour palette – available in different colour options.
