Proper planning is essential to ensure that the flooring system you choose meets the unique needs of your facility, complies with the industry standards and regulations, and meets your budget and timeline. In this post, we will go over five of the most important things to consider:<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1. Materials and durability<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span>The type of flooring material you choose will depend on several factors, including the type of food and beverage you produce, the traffic flow in the facility, and the conditions of the environment. The most popular and hygienic options to consider are concrete and epoxy. Concrete flooring is a cost-effective option but may not be suitable for all food and beverage processing environments. Epoxy flooring is highly durable, slip resistant and can be customised to your facility\u2019s needs. Also consider if your facility could use different flooring in different areas, depending on the conditions of each zone.<\/p>\n<p>When selecting flooring materials, it\u2019s essential to also consider their durability. Floors in food and beverage facilities are exposed to harsh conditions, including chemicals, high temperatures and heavy equipment. <a href=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/sterifloor\/\">Antimicrobial flooring<\/a> technology has been specifically designed to stand up against typical acids and chemicals found in food manufacturing facilities. Investing in quality materials that can withstand these conditions means your flooring will have a longer lifespan and your facility will experience fewer downtime for re-installs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-4dc2d6f94f00ae9c672289421d7ceb07.enable-bg-rollover .rollover i,\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-4dc2d6f94f00ae9c672289421d7ceb07.enable-bg-rollover .rollover-video i {\n  background: -webkit-linear-gradient();\n  background: linear-gradient();\n}\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-4dc2d6f94f00ae9c672289421d7ceb07 .rollover-icon {\n  font-size: 32px;\n  color: #ffffff;\n  min-width: 44px;\n  min-height: 44px;\n  line-height: 44px;\n  border-radius: 100px;\n  border-style: solid;\n  border-width: 0px;\n}\n.dt-icon-bg-on.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-4dc2d6f94f00ae9c672289421d7ceb07 .rollover-icon {\n  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);\n  box-shadow: none;\n}\n<\/style><div class=\"shortcode-single-image-wrap shortcode-single-image-4dc2d6f94f00ae9c672289421d7ceb07 alignnone  enable-bg-rollover dt-icon-bg-off\" style=\"margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; width:800px;\"><div class=\"shortcode-single-image\"><div class=\"fancy-media-wrap  layzr-bg\" style=\"border-radius:10px;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"preload-me lazy-load aspect\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#39;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#39;%20viewBox%3D&#39;0%200%20800%20300&#39;%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/redfloor-processing-plant-NSW-800x300.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/redfloor-processing-plant-NSW-800x300.jpg 800w\" loading=\"eager\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/sterifloor\/redfloor-processing-plant-nsw\/\" style=\"--ratio: 800 \/ 300;border-radius:10px;\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. Compliance<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span>Food safety and hygiene standards in the Australian food manufacturing industry and are high. Poorly maintained premises are likely to harbour pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella which could subsequently lead to contaminated product. Not only does this affect your facility financially, but your brand reputation and trust is also at stake. A reputable flooring contractor can provide guidance on the regulations that might apply to your facility to ensure that your flooring system can meet these standards.\u00a0 Food manufacturing facilities are frequently audited \u2013 not only by government authorities, but also independent auditors on behalf of the major buyers of the manufacturer.
