Cold storage space is vital for seafood processing facilities, but not all floors used for constructing these spaces are created equal. Will your flooring system stand up to below-zero temperatures? Will they meet FDA and HACCP International standards for food safety? How will they stand up to daily forklift traffic? If you've experienced floor failures in your cold storage, cold room, or freezers, you know that shutdown periods are costly. Stonclad UR was used here for these reasons. It's a urethane flooring system used in aggressive, temperature-dependent environments.

Meat and seafood processing spaces need to meet specific health, safety, and hygiene standards. The following considerations should be made when selecting a floor for meat or seafood processing rooms:
-
Non-Porous Material: Seamless, urethane floors are non-porous, durable, and resistant to chemicals, moisture, and staining.
-
Slip Resistance: Greasy, oily environments like meat and seafood require proper slip-resistant floors. Selecting the right texture to prevent slips and falls while maintaining cleanability is key.
-
Hygiene and Cleanability: Sanitary design includes poured-in-place floors that eliminate spaces for bacteria, mold, and mildew to grow. They make cleaning easy and help facilities maintain high levels of hygiene. Stonhard urethane flooring systems stand up to high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning and cleaning chemicals. In order to maintain hygiene, a floor must withstand a processing environment's aggressive environment and cleaning procedures. Floor failures will open a facility up to potential bacterial growth.
-
Chemical Resistance: Meat and seafood processing require various chemical for cleaning and disinfection. Floors must be resistant to these chemicals to avoid degradation and damage.
-
Temperature Resistance: Floors in processing areas and cold storage spaces must withstand temperature variations without cracking or warping.
-
Impact Resistance: Heavy equipment and meat carcasses are moved around on processing room floors. Flooring systems must be formulated to be strong enough to withstand heavy loads and impact from dropped objects without cracking or chipping.
-
Drainage: Properly placed drainage systems, including those built into the floors, are imperative to remove liquids and preventing pooling and puddling on the floor, which can contribute to bacterial growth and contamination.
