The Perfect Brew: Choosing the Right Flooring for Breweries

When it comes to brewery flooring, meeting the highest health and safety standards is of utmost importance. As industrial flooring contractors, S&R Flooring Ltd understands the specific needs of breweries and recommends heavy-duty polyurethane RT or HF resin screed as the ideal choice for this sector. In this blog, we will explore why polyurethane resin floors are a must for microbreweries, taproom breweries, and craft breweries, and why they are designed to last, ensuring a hygienic and durable environment. 

 

Microbreweries have gained tremendous popularity in recent years, with a focus on crafting unique and specialised brews. In these establishments, careful attention to detail is given to every step of the brewing process, and the same consideration should extend to the choice of flooring. Polyurethane RT or HF resin screed offers the perfect solution for microbreweries due to its chemical and physical properties. 

 

Yeast-based liquids are prevalent in the brewing process, and an impervious floor is essential to withstand the organic acids present. The trowel-finished, aggregate filled system of polyurethane resin provides the necessary resistance to prevent liquids from seeping into the floor and causing potential damage. 

 

Taproom breweries have become popular destinations for beer enthusiasts to enjoy freshly brewed beers on-site. These vibrant and lively spaces require a durable and aesthetically pleasing flooring solution. Polyurethane screed floors tick all the boxes in this regard. 

 

Apart from being impervious to liquids, polyurethane resin floors are highly durable and offer excellent thermal protection. They can withstand direct temperatures of up to 120 degrees Celsius or even up to 130 degrees Celsius at a thickness of 12mm. This is crucial in taproom breweries where occasional spills or splashes of hot liquids are likely to occur. 

 

Craft breweries take the art of brewing to another level, emphasising creativity and innovation. The flooring in these establishments should not only meet stringent hygiene standards but also reflect the craft and character of the brewery itself. Polyurethane resin screed systems achieve both objectives with ease. 

 

Hygiene is a top priority in craft breweries, and polyurethane resin floors are the perfect solution. They are easy to clean and maintain, preventing the growth of bacteria and ensuring a safe environment for both employees and customers. 

 

Polyurethane RT and HF resin floors are engineered for heavy-duty use, making them an ideal choice for breweries with high traffic and impact. With an anticipated lifespan of 10 – 12 years, these floors can withstand the rigours of daily operations without compromising on quality or performance. 

 

When it comes to choosing the right flooring for breweries, polyurethane RT or HF resin screed systems offer the perfect combination of durability, hygiene, and performance. Whether you run a microbrewery, taproom brewery, or craft brewery, these floors are specifically designed to meet the unique demands of the brewing industry. 

 

Investing in high-quality flooring not only ensures the highest health and safety standards but also reflects your commitment to producing top-notch brews. With polyurethane resin floors, you can be confident that your brewery's foundation is as solid as the brews you create. So, raise a glass to the perfect brew and the perfect floor to go with it!
