Four Properties of Hygienic Flooring

Flooring with continuous floor-to-wall coving minimizes 90-degree angles, which helps to reduce microbial dispersion in the space. Custodial workers may also clean and sanitize more quickly and thoroughly with a rounded (radial) integrated cove base.

FREMONT, CA: It has never been more critical to protect the health and well-being of staff and customers at grocery stores, supermarkets, and other retail facilities than it is now. However, as cleanliness requirements rise, so do customer expectations, making it an even more difficult chore. Not only is limiting contamination events and spread a priority for gaining shoppers' trust, but local governments are increasingly expecting shops to assist in epidemic prevention.

Here are four properties of hygienic floors:

Antibacterial Properties:

Compared to other types of flooring, industrial flooring systems like epoxies allow you to add antimicrobial chemicals to the floor material, which can help prevent the spread of hazardous mold and other bacteria.

Floor Pitch and Drainage:

Properly pitched flooring and drainage systems are essential in areas where floors are constantly cleaned down, such as butcher shops, prep kitchens, walk-in coolers, and produce storage.
