Dairy Flooring

Durable and Easy to Clean Dairy Flooring 

The flooring of a dairy processing plant or cheese-making facility is subjected to intense cleaning schedules, heavy machinery and foot traffic, large vessels, forklifts and other vehicles, and even cattle. These dairy production factories require durable flooring that is resilient enough to not only withstand the wear and tear from mechanical abuse but also resist scratches, scuffs, cracks, and damage when products and tools are transported across the production floor.

Dairy flooring is also frequently exposed to moisture and fluids like milk, lactic acid, salt, and chemicals used throughout the dairy production process. Without a protective floor coating, exposure to these corrosive liquids can seep into the floor below, damaging the concrete and promoting the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. Additionally, the flooring of dairy processing facilities should be easy to clean, antimicrobial, and non-slip to maintain a hygienic and safe working environment.

The best flooring solution for a dairy processing facility is compliant with United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) hygiene guidelines and requirements outlined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to pass rigorous sanitation inspections. Flooring solutions that are USDA-approved and FDA-inspection ready support the regulations administered by these and other agencies.

Hygienic Dairy Floor Coatings for Maximum Safety

Dairy processing facilities must meet high hygiene standards and maintain sanitary conditions to prevent the contamination of dairy products and jeopardization of consumer health. To help ensure a clean and safe dairy production environment free of dangerous bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew, or pathogens, the facility flooring must be easy to clean and sanitize. Sherwin-Williams dairy flooring is seamless and non-slip, promoting safety and helping to prevent slips and falls due to water or milk on the floor. Our FasTop™ flooring systems are ideal for use in dairies and designed to be antimicrobial, resistant to thermal shock, and able to handle reflective heat.

Our dairy floor coating solutions can withstand frequent traffic, aggressive cleaning at high temperatures, pressure from heavy storage loads, and attacks from substances such as lactic acid. The seamless design prevents the accumulation of contaminants, and the traction levels on the floor surface reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents, even in wet working conditions. This hygienic flooring solution for dairies and cheese-making facilities is extremely functional while offering a wide range of color and finish options, and it can also be sloped to incorporate a drainage system for further cleanability.

Whether you are looking to build a new dairy production plant or upgrading your existing dairy processing facility, Sherwin-Williams flooring solutions offer the durability, cleanability, and quality you need to create safe, easy-to-clean, and efficient dairy processing operation.
