Cheese and dairy facilities require the highest levels of hygiene standards. An unprotected concrete floor will be of no use in meeting these important health and safety standards. Therefore, an appropriate cheese and dairy flooring solution is essential.
The Right floor for the job
Cheese and dairy floors are unique and have special requirements. These floors are regularly wet or immersed in water, milk, fat, brine and whey. Owing to their acidic nature, diary fat, milk and proteins will attack and corrode unprotected concrete. As a result, weakening its structure and cause it to break down.
Why choose a heavy-duty polyurethane RT or HF screed?
The ideal choice of floor for this sector, is a heavy-duty polyurethane RT or HF screed, either 6mm or 9mm thick. Polyurethane resin screeds are chemically resistant. They give the maximum protection again milk, and other dairy products, which can be acidic by nature.

Anti Slip
Polyurethane RT and HF screeds offer the maximum anti slip properties. Most Dairy production areas are subject to liquids hence it is vital that these areas are not a slip hazard. With their high anti slip properties, polyurethane resin screeds are the ideal choice. Also this product can be laid to falls to help drainage helping to meet high health and safety standards.
Acidic
Polyurethane RT and HF resin floors are a must for cheese and dairy floors, owing to their chemical and physical properties. With some Diary being acidic by nature, it will, if unchecked, slowly corrode concrete. Polyurethane resin screed systems offer the best chemical protection. They are designed to be impervious and withstand organic acids, which are very common with dairy production.
Extremes of Heat
Cheese and dairy floors can be subject to extremes of heat; therefore any floor must be thermal shock resistant, especially near the ovens. Polyurethane screed floors are very durable and offer excellent thermal protection. They can withstand direct temperatures up to 120 degrees, or up 130 degrees at 12mm.
Hygienic
Polyurethane RT and HR resin can be steam cleaned up to 120 degrees. This will kill any harmful bacteria but will not affect the integrity of the resin floor. Therefore, as resin screeds are also seamless, they are very hygienic where cleanliness and hygiene levels are very high. This product is complemented by coving and render, to allow for a smooth transition from wall to floor. This makes cleaning easy, whilst providing a seamless “box” finish for high sterile processes in the food industry.
Hardwearing
Polyurethane resin is exceptionally hard wearing, with excellent impact and abrasion qualities. It can withstand heavy loads and are completely impervious throughout. Ideal for the Cheese and Diary industry Polyurethane RT and HR resin screeds are categorised by FeFRA as a type 8 floor, which is the highest rating resin floor finish. It is suitable in use in very heavy-duty working environments with an anticipated life span of well over 20 years in an industrial kitchen.
Advantages of installing a polyurethane resin floor in a Cheese & Dairy facility:
- Anti-slip properties in wet conditions
- Chemically resistant
- Very hard wearing, withstanding heavy loads
- Hygienic & seamless
- Can be laid to falls to help drainage
- Easily cleanable up to 120 degrees.
Why add Coving?
Coving is the link between the wall to floor finish. Once in place It provides a seamless, impervious connection between the floor and the wall/ vertical surface. By bridging the gap between the floor and wall surface you create “one surface” and as such eliminate the hard to reach areas where bacteria can grow. Meeting regulatory requirements, the seamless cove is easy to clean and maintain, essential to maintain hygiene and safety in Cheese and dairy facilities.
