3 Flooring Considerations For Food & Beverage Facilities

When designing a manufacturing facility for food and beverage, every element must be taken into account in order to create a productive environment for the employees and safe products for the customers—and that includes the flooring. In this post, garage floor coatings contractor Guardian Garage Floors reveal what facilities need from a flooring solution.

1. Strength. Industrial flooring needs to be sturdy and abrasion-resistant to withstand the consistent foot traffic and heavy-duty vehicles operating in the facility. Polyaspartic coatings are resistant to moderate impact, wear and tear, punctures, chemicals and stains, which is why this flooring solution has become a popular choice for manufacturers for perishables.

2. Hygiene. Facilities that produce food and beverage adhere to strict health codes. An industrial flooring system must be able to tolerate spills and runoff without fostering microbial life and other contaminants that could taint products and discontinue operation. A polyaspartic coating does not require costly and time-consuming resurfacing treatments, making sanitation and cleanup easier compared to other flooring applications like garage floor epoxy.

3. Non-Slip. From the daily challenges of spills and chemicals to ongoing foot and wheeled traffic, it is essential to have a flooring surface that is safe for workers to operate on. Manufacturers consider polyaspartic coating to be the best solution for non-slip flooring. This high-performance topcoat also offers impact and weather resistance, which helps safeguard your assets even during the harshest conditions. Having non-slip flooring also means fewer accidents within the facility.
