cheese and dairy processing floor

Dairy Flooring

Dairy processing plants in the UK require flooring solutions that can withstand the rigours of a demanding production environment. The flooring in dairy farms must be capable of handling thermal shocks, damp conditions, constant foot traffic, corrosive acids and oils, frequent high-pressure cleaning and the substantial weight of large product storage containers and heavy machinery. Sherwin-Williams dairy flooring is up to the challenge.

Durable, Safe and Long-Lasting Flooring Solutions for Dairy Farms

The flooring within a dairy processing plant or production facility faces rigorous cleaning schedules, heavy machinery and foot traffic, substantial vessels, forklifts and even the presence of cattle. These dairy production facilities demand resilient flooring that can withstand not only mechanical wear and tear but also resist scratches, scuffs, cracks and damage when products and tools traverse the production floor.

Sherwin-Williams dairy flooring solutions are engineered to withstand thermal shocks, radiant heat, elevated temperatures, substantial loads and the use of potent cleaning agents. They offer impressive resistance to chemicals, including substances like lactic acid, and can endure the constant foot traffic within these facilities.

The seamless design of our resin flooring systems effectively prevents the accumulation of contaminants, while the floor surface's traction levels reduce the likelihood of slip-and-fall accidents, even in wet conditions.

Our hygienic flooring solutions are ideal for dairy farms and processing facilities, are highly functional and provide a diverse range of colour and finish options.

Seamless and Easy-to-Clean Dairy Flooring for Maximum Hygiene and Sanitation

Dairy flooring is also frequently exposed to moisture and fluids such as milk, lactic acid, salt and chemicals used during the dairy production process. In the absence of a protective floor coating, these corrosive liquids can permeate the floor surface, causing damage to the underlying concrete and facilitating the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew. The flooring in dairy processing facilities should be easy to clean, antimicrobial and slip resistant to support a hygienic and secure working environment.

Additionally, dairy processing facilities and packaging operations should have floors that comply with the standards set by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and are ready for inspection by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Flooring solutions that align with the FSA's standards and are ready for HSE inspections uphold the regulations enforced by these and other relevant agencies. These floors should also be easy to clean and contribute to creating a safe, hygienic and sanitary work environment as required by FSA and HSE regulations.

Sherwin-Williams food-safe dairy flooring systems are specially designed to prevent the contamination of dairy products, support worker safety and safeguard consumer health. Our floors are easy to clean and sanitise, feature a seamless surface and are available in non-slip formulations. For additional hygienic properties, choose from our line of antimicrobial products to help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, fungi, mould, mildew or pathogens.

Whether you are embarking on the construction of a new dairy production facility or upgrading an existing dairy processing plant, Sherwin-Williams flooring solutions provide the durability, cleanability and quality necessary to establish a secure, easy-to-clean and efficient dairy processing operation.
