Distillery and Brewery Flooring

Breweries, distilleries, and other facilities in the drink or beverage industry have harsh production environments that require the factory flooring to overcome a unique set of challenges. With high levels of foot and wheeled traffic, wet conditions, temperature extremes, frequent cleaning, exposure to chemicals and the weight of heavy machinery, distillery and brewery flooring must withstand constant abuse. Some areas of the beverage production floor may undergo ongoing stress from vibrating equipment, while other parts of the brewery or distillery may be subjected to repeated thermal shocks and application of aggressive cleaning agents. Additionally, drink processing facilities and packaging operations require USDA compliant and FDA-inspection ready floors that are easy to clean and promote a safe, hygienic, and sanitary work environment.

Durable and Easy-to-Clean Distillery and Brewery Flooring

The flooring of a brewery, distillery, or beverage processing facility is subjected to heavy wear and tear from foot traffic, harsh chemicals, forklifts and other vehicles, large vessels, and product storage containers. These production factories need durable flooring that is resilient enough to withstand the weight of this equipment as well as resist damage like cracks, scuffs, scrapes, or chips in the floor.

Brewery and distillery flooring is also frequently exposed to harsh cleaners, moisture, acidic liquids, alcohol, salt, thermal shocks, and chemicals commonly used in beverage processing. Exposure to these fluids can severely damage the concrete floor below, leaving gaps and holes where bacteria and mold can grow, unless the floor has a specially formulated protective coating. Additionally, the flooring of drink production facilities should be easy to clean and antimicrobial to help maintain a hygienic and safe working environment.

The best flooring solution for a brewery or distillery 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.

Sanitary Distillery and Brewery Floor Coatings for Maximum Safety

Breweries and distilleries must maintain excellent hygiene and sanitation conditions to prevent jeopardizing the health and safety of both beverage products and their consumers. To support a safe, clean environment free of dangerous bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi, or pathogens, the facility flooring must be easy to clean and sanitize. Not only must brewery and distillery flooring be able to withstand frequent, aggressive cleaning with strong chemical agents, but it also should provide a seamless, moisture resistant surface with a proper drainage system that inhibits the growth of harmful microorganisms.
