Our food grade flooring solutions cater to bakery environments because they must be exceptionally clean and hygienic. Safety and longevity are among the most important factors when selecting new bakery flooring. Choosing the correct floor is key, which is why the standard choice for this sector is a heavy-duty polyurethane RT or HF screed, anti-slip bakery flooring, typically 6mm or 9mm thick.
Why Heavy-Duty Polyurethane RT or HF Screed is Ideal
Bakery flooring faces both wet and dry conditions, heat, and natural corrosives such as fats, oils, and yeast. With a variety of ingredients like flour, oils, baking soda, yeast, icing sugar, and butter, spillages can create a highly slippery environment. Therefore, having a floor that is slip-resistant in both wet and dry conditions is vital.

Our Flooring Solution: Resdev Pumadur RT
PSC Flooring Ltd collaborates with industry-leading manufacturers to ensure the correct products are chosen for each installation. Our product of choice is Resdev Pumadur RT, a resin-rich, heavy-duty, trowel-applied polyurethane floor screed for use on concrete and polymer-modified cementitious screeds. Resdev Pumadur RT offers durability, impact resistance, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. Its lightly textured finish makes it ideal for both wet and dry processing environments. Such as the food, beverage, and chemical industries.
The surface of this flooring system is seamless, with a matt finish and light slip-resistant texture. Resdev Pumadur RT contains a white aggregate that provides a slip-resistant surface. Initially, the floor has a uniform-colored surface, but with general use, the white aggregate will begin to show through, giving a decorative, mottled appearance.
Mixing It Up
Turn the resin bottle upside down and shake it vigorously to properly mix the 6mm RT polyurethane screed. Decant the resin into the mixing vessel and keep it constantly mixed throughout the process. Add the hardener, mix thoroughly, then add the aggregate portion. Then mix for approximately another two minutes until the mixture is uniformly wetted out.
Baked to Perfection – Food Grade Flooring Solutions
Furthermore, PSC Flooring was called to Four Anjels Limited, an award-winning bakery based in the heart of the Cotswolds, known for its delicious cakes, biscuits, and more. We refurbished their production floor area, oven room, pot wash area, chiller area, and boot area. We had previously screened the 190-square-meter area, so we ground back the floor using a diamond grinding machine. It was then primed it before laying a 6mm RT polyurethane screed and an additional DD polyurethane seal coat to the floor screed and TF coating system to the coving.
