Factors to Consider
If you are looking to install flooring for a food facility, you have to consider a few things.
Pathogen Growth
If the flooring is not properly done, it can become a safe haven for microbes. This is detrimental to food safety. Resinous flooring such as cementitious urethane and epoxy are easy to clean and structured with sanitation techniques in mind. For example, they can be installed so that the floor's slope is directed towards the drain. They could also have an integral floor-to-wall core base. This supports hygiene and cleaning.
Durability
The flooring system must be able to withstand constant activity from heavy duty machines, food processing equipment, and foot traffic. The floor must have the needed strength to withstand the pressure and must be high impact resistant.
Resists Slips and Falls
Resinous flooring systems like epoxy and cementitious urethane are slip-resistant and ensure that people working around the facility do not fall.
Keeps Moisture Away
Food processing can involve continuous exposure to moisture. Resinous flooring can resist high moisture and are great for these facilities. These floors can withstand water, moisture and steam.
Temperature Change Friendly
Food processing involves exposure to extreme heat and changes in temperature. Cementitious urethane floors are resistant to these conditions and can withstand thermal shock.
