Prominent Food Processing Company Chooses Stonhard for Hygienic Flooring Solution
High-Performance Flooring Solution Needed for Industrial Kitchen Upgrade
A world-renowned food processing company required a new, hygienic flooring solution for two industrial kitchens at its production plant in the Netherlands. To avoid contamination and degradation issues where open joints in the factory’s tile floors risked leakage to the substrate, the company acted fast to find a high-performance, hygienic floor solution. The chosen flooring company would need to guarantee a quick turnaround to minimize production downtime. Stonhard met all requirements.
Stonclad UT is a seamless, chemical-resistant, and HACCP-certified solution for food processing spaces.
From floor leveling to waterproofing, Stonhard delivered a high-performance, slip-resistant urethane mortar system in a custom yellow finish.
Seamless, Hygienic Flooring Protection
Stonhard implemented a comprehensive overhaul, beginning with crucial floor levelling and reinforcement using Stonset TG6 and Stonproof RH7 to achieve an even surface optimized for drainage and enhanced structural resilience. The existing steel-reinforced concrete hexagon tiles were then replaced with Stonclad UT, a urethane mortar flooring system and a durable coat of Stonseal UT7 in a custom yellow color. This seamless, slip-resistant, and chemical-resistant surface carries an HACCP International certification and stands up to thermal shock and intense cleaning routines.
A durable Stonclad UR integral cove base was also installed to ensure a seamless transition between floor and wall, effectively eradicating problematic corners prone to accumulating dirt, grime, and bacteria. An application of the waterproofing ME7 membrane around drains helped fortify against moisture intrusion, while Stonflex MP7 was employed around drains and expansion joints to ensure the floor’s integrity to support natural movements.
