CHARACTERISTICS OF INDUSTRIAL FLOORING
HYGIENE REGULATIONS
Specific regulatory specifications related to the food business, impose a series ofrequirements related to the hygiene and cleanliness of production facilities. These are matched also with some other needs:
- DURATION AND RESISTANCE: due to the continuous passage of heavy loads and frequent spills of water and acids. Industrial clinker is a ceramic material with high mechanical characteristics; the flooring will thus be able to withstand mechanical stresses and the chemical substances and acids typically present in food processing areas over time.
- ANTI SLIP: The flooring must have an anti-slip surface to prevent possible accidents caused by slipperiness. This is especially true in the presence of liquids and/or fats. We offer a wide range of solutions for klinker floors and coverings, with degrees of roughness certified from R10 to R13.
- WATERPROOFING: Klinker is a waterproof material, with a very low degree of absorption of water and liquids. The flooring will therefore be able to prevent possible deformations due to water absorption. Impermeability is also guaranteed by the grouting, made with professional and specific epoxy resins for different work environments.
- RESISTANCE TO TEMPERATURE AND THERMAL SHOCKS: Clinker is able to withstand the temperatures and shocks typical of food production areas; the flooring will therefore be able to withstand cycles of freezing and thawing without suffering damage or deformations.
- ABSENCE OF INTERSTICES AND EDGES: The flooring must not have edges or interstices, that could become places for sedimentation of dirt and residues, with the consequent risk of bacterial infestation. Industrial clinker has a wide range of special pieces, to offer a functional and easy-to-clean hygienic flooring.
- AESTHETICS: An industrial klinker floor has a rustic and natural appearance; klinker flooring, when made with quality products and and maximum care in installation, , proves to be an excellent element for enhancing the environment.
