Food & Beverage Facility Flooring Systems

Why Food & Beverage Facilities Need Specialized Flooring

Food and beverage environments are hard on floors. Bare concrete and light-duty coatings can’t handle constant sanitation cycles, repeated exposure, and production wear. Facilities typically deal with:

• Sugars, syrups, and sticky residues that accelerate buildup
• Acids and cleaners (including caustics and sanitizers) that degrade surfaces
• Hot water washdowns, moisture, and humidity that stress bond lines
• Forklifts, pallet jacks, rolling racks, and heavy production traffic
• Wet zones and spill-prone areas that increase slip risk
• Cracks, joints, and porous concrete that trap debris and bacteria

Over time, unprotected slabs become stained, dusty, and difficult to keep clean. Cleaning takes longer, safety risk increases, and the space can fail hygiene expectations during audits and inspections.

Industrial-grade resin flooring is designed to solve these problems. Properly specified and installed, these systems provide:

• Seamless, non-porous finishes that are easier to clean and sanitize
• Chemical resistance to sugars, acids, carbonation, and common facility cleaners
• Slip-tuned textures for wet zones while staying scrub-friendly
• Impact and abrasion resistance for equipment, racks, and production traffic
• Long service life with straightforward maintenance
• Better slab protection that reduces spalling, dusting, and surface failure

Where Food & Beverage Flooring Makes the Biggest Difference

Bottling & Packaging Lines

Bottling lines and packaging zones see continuous traffic, spills, and equipment movement. High-build epoxy systems create a tough, non-porous surface that resists staining and improves daily cleaning efficiency.

Washdown & Wet Processing Areas

Wet zones demand traction and water resistance. We install slip-tuned broadcast and textured systems that improve grip while remaining easy to scrub and sanitize.

Breweries, Wineries & Distilleries

Fermentation, processing, and cleanup routines often include chemical exposure and repeated washdowns. We specify systems designed for moisture, acids, sugars, and sanitation cycles.

Cold Rooms & Cooler Transitions

Temperature swings and moisture transitions can stress standard coatings. With the right primers and system build, floors stay bonded and perform longer in cooler-adjacent environments.

Receiving, Storage & Production Corridors

Forklifts, pallets, and rolling traffic cause abrasion and impact damage over time. Resin floors reduce dusting, protect the slab, and keep corridors cleaner and safer.

Sanitation & Utility Zones

Utility rooms, chemical storage areas, and sanitation zones need floors that resist cleaners and harsh exposure. We tailor chemical resistance and topcoat selection to your facility’s products and procedures.

Flooring Systems Engineered for Food & Beverage Facilities

High-Build Food-Grade Epoxy

High-build epoxy provides a dense, seamless, non-porous surface ideal for packaging lines, dry processing areas, corridors, and production zones where hygiene and durability are priorities.

Quartz / Aggregate Broadcast Systems

Broadcast builds add traction and wear resistance, making them ideal for wet areas and washdown zones. Textures can be tuned so the floor stays safer without becoming difficult to clean.

Polyaspartic Coatings (Fast-Cure)

Polyaspartic systems cure quickly and allow faster return to service. They offer UV stability, chemical resistance, and hardness—ideal when downtime must be minimized through phased work.

Urethane Cement

In the harshest zones, urethane cement provides higher thermal shock resistance and compressive strength. It’s an excellent choice where washdowns, temperature cycling, and aggressive cleaning are constant.

Anti-Slip & Traction-Control Systems

We tailor surface texture to your facility—smoother in some lanes for rolling equipment, and higher traction where spills or washdowns increase slip risk.

Moisture & Vapor Control Layers

Facilities with moisture-risk slabs benefit from moisture mitigation layers under the system. These help prevent blistering, debonding, and premature failure.

Our Food & Beverage Flooring Installation Process

Priority One Epoxy Flooring follows a disciplined installation process to ensure your floor performs the way it should for many years. Every step is matched to your facility’s exposure, workflow, and downtime requirements.

1. Consultation & Assessment: Review workflow, traffic, cleaning routines, concrete condition, and moisture risk.
2. Surface Preparation: Professional diamond grinding or shot blasting to create the correct profile for adhesion.
3. Concrete Repairs: Crack repair, spall restoration, and joint detailing to stabilize weak areas.
4. Priming / MVB: Moisture-tolerant primers and mitigation layers when required to protect the bond line.
5. System Build-Up: Epoxy, broadcast, urethane cement, or fast-cure layers installed to the specified thickness and texture.
6. Topcoat: Chemical- and abrasion-resistant top layers tuned for your exposure and safety needs.
7. Quality Check: Final inspection and care guidance to maximize floor life and simplify maintenance.

This process prevents the most common causes of failure in food and beverage environments—poor prep, moisture issues, and under-specified system builds.

Recent Beverage Facility Project

In the Interior of BC, we installed a food-safe epoxy system for a kombucha production facility. The new seamless, slip-resistant floor with chemical-resistant top layers improved sanitation performance, reduced cleaning time, and allowed the plant to operate safely with minimal disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your floors CFIA-compliant?

Yes. Our food and beverage facility flooring systems are designed to support CFIA hygiene and food safety standards.

Will the flooring resist acids and sugars?

Absolutely. Our epoxy and polyaspartic systems are engineered for acidic and sugary beverage environments.

Can we continue production during installation?

Yes. Fast-curing systems allow phased installations and minimize downtime.

Is the flooring slip-resistant?

Yes. We provide slip-resistant finishes for staff safety in wet or sugary environments.

How long will the flooring last?

With proper maintenance, systems commonly last 10–20 years depending on exposure and traffic.

Do you offer free assessments?

Yes. We provide on-site inspections and tailored proposals for your facility.
