Our client in the beverage industry required a new hygienic floor and chill store for their expanding specialist brewery, a fresh beer business with eight keg lines. They are devoted to unfiltered and seasonally inspired fresh beers working with some of the greatest UK breweries.
As with all food and drink processing facilities, breweries must adhere to the highest hygiene standards. A concrete floor alone would not survive the demanding service our client requires. As beer is acidic, the alkaline cement paste will react severely against the beer, posing a health and safety risk.
Our expert team laid out an L shape SBR screed to newly installed stainless-steel drainage channels, topped with a 6mm Altocrete PU screed and a 100mm height cove detail. SBR Polymer screed gives increased toughness and bond properties reducing the risk of shrinkage and cracking. The 6mm slip-resistant variant is ideal for very heavy duty areas such as commercial kitchens, food and drink manufacturing areas for production and storage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and engineering areas and in this instance a brewery. It provides durability, slip resistance and excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals and cleaning products, it is a long lasting, hygienic and a cost-effective flooring solution.
A chill store was also required for our client. Much like connoisseurs of fine wine, beer experts recommend specific storage and serving temperatures to ensue the end product is a fine refreshing taste – it’s all in the brewing science!
