As the rise of the microbrewery continues to grow, Flowcrete Americas is working more closely with existing brewery owners and plant managers suffering from poor flooring choices made during set-up as well as newcomers to the market on the correct specification of flooring materials within all areas of the brewhouse.

The requirements can be complicated when it comes to flooring and I am often asked on the right materials and levels of tolerance needed, but one thing’s for sure…getting the floor right in the first instance is critical to saving money in the long run.

The brewhouse floor is an investment and, when chosen correctly and given a little bit of love, can prove as critical as any bit of equipment to the effective long-term running of the brewery.

To simplify the process, and provide recommendations as to which floor system is best suited to which area of the facility, Flowcrete Americas has published a Specialist Polymer Flooring Systems for Breweries Guide.

This new guide not only contains details of each of the products we would recommend for use in each area but also includes a typical floor plan, so you can get a bird’s eye perspective of your entire brewhouse.

With antimicrobial, standard and rapid cure, functional and decorative grades available along with bespoke options for additional traction or color zoning plans, Flowcrete Americas’ versatile flooring range caters for all flooring needs and can be provided to the client under one manufacturer’s guarantee.
