While it might appear as a convenient option compared to building from scratch, the transformation process involves careful planning, design, and adherence to specific industry standards. One crucial aspect of this conversion is ensuring that the flooring meets the stringent requirements of food manufacturing facilities. In Australia, where Allied Finishes plays a pivotal role in assisting companies with this transformation, understanding key flooring considerations is essential for a successful conversion.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-3993663c2de71d597\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-3993663c2de71d597 uvc-1097 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-3993663c2de71d597 h6'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h6 style=\"font-weight:normal;\">Why Convert?<\/h6><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The need for additional production capacity often arises due to healthy growth in businesses, both new and existing. New businesses, looking to minimize risks associated with projecting demand and product success, might outsource manufacturing initially. However, as products gain traction, the demand for increased capacity becomes inevitable. For established businesses, the motivation to convert stems from the need to cater to new market segments or overall demand growth. Prior to investing in a conversion, it&#8217;s crucial to ensure that existing facilities are fully optimized to maximize production capacity. Exploring innovative production schedules and seasonal sourcing can uncover untapped potential within existing facilities.[\/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-9d3699d3727a3eeeaf012f2d992f04b9.enable-bg-rollover .rollover i,\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-9d3699d3727a3eeeaf012f2d992f04b9.enable-bg-rollover .rollover-video i {\n  background: -webkit-linear-gradient();\n  background: linear-gradient();\n}\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-9d3699d3727a3eeeaf012f2d992f04b9 .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-9d3699d3727a3eeeaf012f2d992f04b9 .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-9d3699d3727a3eeeaf012f2d992f04b9 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\/2023\/08\/B320220418_083856-Copy-scaled-800x300.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/B320220418_083856-Copy-scaled-800x300.jpg 800w, https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/B320220418_083856-Copy-scaled-1600x600.jpg 1600w\" loading=\"eager\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/warehouse-to-food-production-flooring-considerations\/b320220418_083856-copy\/\" style=\"--ratio: 800 \/ 300;border-radius:10px;\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-1729663c2de71e3b3\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-1729663c2de71e3b3 uvc-2797 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-1729663c2de71e3b3 h6'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h6 style=\"font-weight:normal;\">Flooring Considerations: Key Factors to Address<\/h6><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;][vc_column_text]When converting a warehouse into a food production facility, various aspects of the flooring need careful attention to ensure compliance with food safety and hygiene regulations.
