Food Grade Flooring
Elevating Standards in Food and Drink Grade Flooring Solutions
Moreover, the heart of the food and beverage production environment isn’t just about creating edible treats; it’s about ensuring an environment that meets stringent hygiene, durability, and safety standards.
That’s where our expertise shines.
Key Features of Our Food Grade Flooring
- Temperature Resilient: Our food grade flooring solutions, especially our polyurethane screed floors, can withstand direct temperatures up to 120 degrees, and even up to 130 degrees at 12mm. Therefore, this makes them essential in environments subject to extreme heat, especially near ovens.
- Chemical Protection: Ingredients in food production, particularly in bakeries and beer production, can be acidic, corroding traditional floors over time. However, our polyurethane resin screed systems are designed to be impervious to these organic acids, ensuring longevity.
- Wet Production Ready: Areas, especially in cheese and dairy production, can often be exposed to milk, grease, fat, and water. As a result, our polyurethane resin screeds offer exceptional slip resistance, even in wet conditions, and can be tailored to support drainage, reinforcing health and safety standards.
- Hygienic and Seamless: An absolute essential for food production, our floors are not only hygienic but also seamless. Therefore, they don’t support bacterial or microbial growth. Also, alongside our polyurethane resin screed systems, our coving solutions ensure a smooth transition from wall to floor, further preventing bacterial build-up.
- Exceptionally Durable: Our food grade epoxy coating is designed to withstand the harshest environments, offering resilience against impact, abrasion, and chemical spillages. Consequently, it stands as the epitome of food factory flooring solutions.
Complete Your Flooring with Coving
Minimising food contamination risks is paramount in the food industry. That being the case, we recommend integrating a 100mm high coving to our food-safe screed flooring. This seamless connection between floor and wall, or equipment toe-kicks, creates a unified surface that’s easy to clean and maintain. Moreover, coving leaves no crevices for dirt or bacteria, ensuring a sanitary environment.

- Easily Cleanable: Can endure steam cleaning up to 120 degrees at 9mm thickness.
- Remarkably Hardwearing: Designed to withstand heavy loads and intensive use.
- Hygienic: With its seamless design, it negates bacterial and microbial growth.
- Enhanced Drainage: Can be custom laid to facilitate drainage, an essential in wet production areas.
- Superior Anti-Slip Properties: Ensures safety in both wet and dry conditions.
FAQs
Why is polyurethane screed recommended for food factories and processing areas?
Polyurethane screed is the ideal choice for food factories because of its resilient properties. Additionally, it offers exceptional durability, making it suitable for areas with heavy equipment and foot traffic. Moreover, polyurethane screeds are impervious to organic acids, commonly found in food and drink production, providing resistance against chemical degradation. Also, its excellent thermal protection ensures the floor remains unharmed even near high-temperature areas. Lastly, with its anti-slip properties, it enhances safety, particularly in wet production areas where spillages are common.
How does the flooring solution cater to the diverse sections of a food factory, from wet to dry areas?
Our flooring solutions are designed with versatility in mind to cater to the diverse requirements of food factories. Consequently, for wet production areas, like in cheese and dairy production, our polyurethane resin screeds offer superior slip resistance and can be laid to falls for effective drainage. In contrast, for areas subjected to extreme heat or direct temperatures, our floors offer excellent thermal protection, ensuring they remain unharmed and maintain their integrity.
How do PSC Flooring solutions ensure hygiene and cleanliness in food manufacturing areas?
Ensuring hygiene is paramount in food production areas. Therefore, our polyurethane resin screed systems offer a seamless finish, eliminating crevices where bacteria and microbes can hide. Also, this seamless design, combined with coving and render, provides a smooth transition from wall to floor, making it difficult for microbial growth. Furthermore, our flooring is easy to clean and can be steam cleaned up to specific temperatures, killing any harmful bacteria without compromising the floor’s integrity.
With frequent cleaning and washing down of food production areas, how durable is the flooring against constant moisture and cleaning agents?
Our food-grade flooring is designed with the challenges of food production in mind. Similarly, they are crafted to withstand regular spillages and frequent cleaning. The impervious nature of polyurethane screeds means they don’t absorb moisture, ensuring longevity even with constant exposure to water and cleaning agents. In addition, the inbuilt anti-slip properties of our flooring also ensure safety is maintained, even when wet, providing a reliable and long-lasting solution for food manufacturing environments.
