For our third round of Brewery blog posts, we are focusing on one key ingredient that you must remember to include in your facility, durable flooring.
The durability of the floor can have a direct impact on the capacity of a brewery to maintain a productive working environment.
Durability can be improved by incorporating necessary properties into the flooring such as chemical resistance, temperature resistance and effective moisture control. But even with all of these properties specified, if the floor is not thick enough to withstand the daily challenges within the brew house then you are likely to experience floor failure.
As a general rule, the thicker the system, the longer its service life and the better able it will be to withstand damage from heavy impacts, chemicals and extreme temperatures.
Increasing the thickness of flooring can also increase the cost, and so many facilities only utilise thicker flooring in certain problem areas. Having a detailed knowledge of the site’s operational activity is valuable here to avoid specifying a thin floor finish that will crack when faced with the reality of the building’s daily use.
Polyurethane (PU) flooring is very useful for such applications, as this can often be specified in a variety of thicknesses (some from 2-9mm), and can be used throughout the entire facility, keeping the same floor finish across the board.
