What makes a good floor coating for a winery?
A good floor in a winery is crucial for maintaining a safe and productive working environment. Here are some key factors to consider:
- Durability: The floor should be able to withstand heavy foot and vehicle traffic, as well as occasional spills and leaks.
- Easy to clean: A smooth, non-porous surface is essential for easy cleaning and sanitation. The floor should also be resistant to stains and chemical damage.
- Slip-resistant: The floor should provide good traction, even when wet, to prevent slips and falls.
- Hygienic: The floor should not harbour bacteria or other harmful microorganisms that can contaminate the wine or the winery environment.
- Temperature-resistant: The floor should be able to withstand temperature fluctuations without cracking or warping.
- Drainage: Proper drainage is essential for preventing water buildup and ensuring a dry, safe working environment. The floor should be sloped and designed to direct water towards drains.
- Aesthetics: While functionality is key, a good winery floor can also enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the space. Consider materials and colours that complement the winery’s style and brand.
And the winner is! Polyurethane Cement
Here are some reasons why we recomend using polyurethane cement in your winery:
- Durability: Polyurethane cement is highly durable and can withstand heavy traffic, impacts, and scratches. This makes it ideal for wineries where there is a lot of foot traffic, forklifts, and machinery moving around.
- Chemical resistance: Wineries often use harsh chemicals and acids in their production processes, which can damage the flooring. Polyurethane cement is highly resistant to chemicals, acids, and solvents, making it an excellent choice for winery floors.
- Moisture resistance: Wineries are typically damp environments with high humidity levels. Polyurethane cement is moisture-resistant and can withstand exposure to water and damp conditions without deteriorating.
- Easy to clean and maintain: Polyurethane cement is easy to clean and maintain. It can be swept, mopped, and pressure washed without damaging the surface. This makes it easy to maintain a clean and hygienic environment in the winery.
- Safety: Wineries can be hazardous environments, with the potential for slips and falls. Polyurethane cement flooring can be installed with slip-resistant coatings to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
Overall, polyurethane cement is a highly durable, chemical-resistant, and easy-to-maintain flooring material that can help wineries maintain a clean, safe, and hygienic environment.
