Breweries have unique flooring challenges. In addition to standing up against daily wear and tear from foot traffic, brewery flooring must protect against persistent thermal cycling, excessive moisture & chemical attack. Brewery flooring must also be easily maintained while helping to prevent microbial growth.
How can you design a floor that helps to minimize bacterial growth? The floor itself must be completely impervious to water, chemicals, and other materials that may absorb into the floor. Surfaces such as bare concrete, wood, or open grout joints can act like a sponge for contaminants. Seamless, “grout-free” sanitary flooring for the food industry is especially effective within brewery applications. By eliminating joints, you remove what can become a microbial haven. Attention to floor and wall transitions is also important.
Most failure points in flooring systems occur within
areas that have the potential for water intrusion. Work closely with your flooring expert to ensure proper sloping to your drains. For termination points, especially around drains, you must make certain that the flooring system is designed to eliminate the potential for water intrusion under the floor. Long-term moisture intrusion under a floor will lead to a small flooring failure, which can become a nasty problem in short order.

Commercial kitchens present flooring systems with significant long-term performance challenges. Food production floors are subject to constant chemical attack from grease, aggressive chemicals, and a host of cleaning solutions. Many restaurant kitchen floors utilize enzymatic cleaning agents to help clean up grease and animal fats. These products produce damaging oleic acids and other problematic substances that will also attack the flooring system itself. In addition to providing adequate slip resistance, commercial kitchen floors must also maintain a high level of cleanliness and function to minimize the potential for microbial growth.
