Seamless, Hygienic, Anti-Slip Food Factory Flooring Upgrade

The Challenge: Upgrading Kerry Foods Factory Flooring to Meet Hygiene, Safety and Production Demands

A heavy-duty, food-grade flooring system was required to modernise the Kerry Foods production facility and ensure it met the strict performance and hygiene requirements associated with food manufacturing. In environments where food products are continuously processed, flooring must provide seamless construction to minimise contamination risks while maintaining reliable slip resistance to protect employees working in busy production areas.

The flooring specification also needed to accommodate variations within the existing concrete substrate, including areas requiring falls and integrated drainage channels. Effective drainage is critical in food production facilities, where frequent washdowns and liquid spillages are common.

Kerry Foods required a flooring solution capable of delivering long-term durability while complying with all relevant European Directives governing health, safety and environmental standards. The selected system needed to provide a seamless, easy-to-clean surface while supporting efficient production operations across the facility.

The Solution: Food-Grade Polyurethane Screed Flooring Engineered for Hygiene and Performance

FasTop TG69 polyurethane floor screed was selected as the optimal flooring system for the facility and installed in a Buff finish. The introduction of this colour created a brighter, more modern production environment while improving light reflection across the workspace.

The polyurethane screed system provides exceptional durability and resistance to heavy foot traffic, production equipment and aggressive cleaning procedures. Its seamless construction eliminates joints and crevices that could harbour bacteria, helping maintain high hygiene standards required within food processing environments.

FasTop TG69 is approved by the Campden BRI Food Research Association and HACCP International for use in food production facilities. These certifications provide assurance that the system meets strict food industry standards and is suitable for environments where contamination control is critical.

The Results: A Durable, Hygienic and Slip-Resistant Flooring System Supporting Safe and Efficient Food Production

The completed FasTop TG69 installation delivered a long-lasting, seamless flooring solution capable of supporting the rigorous daily demands of food manufacturing operations. The system provides excellent resistance to heavy production activity and repeated washdown procedures while maintaining a hygienic and easy-to-clean surface.

The slip-resistant properties of the flooring improve employee safety across busy production areas, helping reduce workplace hazards associated with wet or contaminated surfaces. The Buff finish enhances lighting conditions within the facility, contributing to improved operational visibility and safer working environments.

By combining regulatory compliance, hygiene performance, durability and enhanced safety, the FasTop TG69 flooring installation supports Kerry Foods’ commitment to maintaining high-quality production standards and efficient facility operation.
