Industrial floor

Industrial flooring in food processing plants is installed for several important reasons:

1. Hygiene: Our specially designed flooring systems help to ensure a high level of hygiene in food processing facilities. They are seamless, which minimizes the ingress of dirt, dust, bacteria and other contaminants. This reduces the risk of food contamination.

2. Easy to clean: Floor systems used in food processing facilities should be resistant to chemicals and easy to clean. They enable efficient cleaning and disinfection, which is crucial for food safety.

3. Resistance to moisture and chemicals: Spilled liquids and cleaning processes often result in residual moisture on the floor. A flooring system that is resistant to moisture ensures the longevity of the floor.

4. Slip resistance: Industrial flooring systems are designed to offer high slip resistance, even if they are damp or have food residues. This minimizes the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace.

5. Legal requirements: Suitable industrial floors meet the strict requirements that the legislator places on food processing companies.

6. Durability: Industrial floors often have to withstand heavy loads and impacts in food processing plants. A high-quality industrial floor is hard-wearing and can withstand daily wear and tear without wearing out quickly.

7. Aesthetics: In addition to all the functional benefits, industrial floors can also be designed to be aesthetically pleasing. An attractive appearance can improve the working environment for employees.

An industrial floor can be extremely beneficial in larger retail outlets such as DIY stores and supermarkets. Here are some reasons why such a flooring system should be installed in stores:

1. High load-bearing capacity: Larger retail stores often have intensive customer traffic and have to cope with heavy loads such as shopping carts, pallets and forklift trucks. An industrial floor is designed to withstand these high loads without damage.
2. Hygiene: Maintaining high hygiene standards is essential, especially in food and beverage outlets. A flooring system that is free of joints and easy to clean reduces the risk of contamination and makes it easier to comply with hygiene regulations.
3. Cost-effectiveness: Although an industrial floor may require a higher initial investment, it can prove to be a cost-effective solution in the long term. This is due to the reduced maintenance costs and longer service life.
4. Slip resistance: In supermarkets, moisture – for example from wet footprints – increases the risk of slipping. A non-slip coating helps to prevent accidents and injuries.

5. Chemical resistance: Supermarkets often use cleaning agents and chemicals to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. A chemical-resistant coating system remains intact for considerably longer.

6. Food safety: In areas where fresh food is presented, compliance with food safety standards is crucial. A seamless, easy-to-clean industrial floor reduces the risk of contamination.

An industrial floor is extremely important and useful in commercial kitchens for several reasons:

• Hygiene: Maintaining high hygiene standards is crucial in commercial kitchens to ensure food safety. A seamless floor prevents the ingress of dirt, food residues and bacteria.
• Chemical resistance: In commercial kitchens, cleaning agents and disinfectants are often used to clean surfaces. An industrial floor is resistant to such chemicals.
• Slip resistance: In commercial kitchens, there is an increased risk of slipping due to liquids or grease. Our flooring systems are equipped with non-slip properties, which improves the safety of employees in the kitchen.
• Resistance to moisture: In commercial kitchens, moisture is created by cooking, cleaning and other processes. An industrial floor is resistant to moisture, which increases its durability and longevity.
• Durability: Commercial kitchens are heavy-duty environments with lots of movement, heavy equipment and continuous wear and tear on the floor. Our systems are robust and resistant to heavy use, allowing them to withstand daily demands.
• Fast installation: Time often plays an important role in commercial kitchens. Short installation times ensure minimal downtime so that normal operations can be restored quickly.
• Noise reduction: Some flooring systems can also provide a degree of noise reduction, which is beneficial in commercial kitchens to reduce noise levels and create a more pleasant working environment.

Overall, industrial flooring in commercial kitchens offers a wide range of benefits, including improved hygiene, safety, durability and resistance to the demands of a busy and challenging environment. It helps to increase operational efficiency and comply with legal regulations and hygiene standards.

An industrial floor is used in specialist vehicle businesses such as car workshops, in the vehicle industry and large maintenance halls for various reasons:

1. Durability: Vehicle operations often involve heavy equipment and vehicles that put a lot of strain on the floor. An industrial floor is robust and resistant to mechanical stress and wear, making it able to withstand daily demands.

2. Chemical resistance: Workshops often use oils, lubricants and other chemicals. Our durable coatings prevent damage or discoloration from contact with many substances.

3. Spilled operating fluids can pose a danger to employees. Our Qubo® floor systems can therefore be specially adapted to the required slip resistance.

4. ESD protection: In areas where electrostatic discharges can be harmful, such as in electronic assembly systems, an antistatic industrial floor can be used to protect electronic components.

5. Thermal resistance: Floors in vehicle operations can be exposed to increased temperature loads. An industrial floor has increased thermal resistance and retains its structure and durability even under such conditions.

6. Fast installation: Time is often an important factor in vehicle operations. Qubo® industrial floors are installed quickly to minimize downtime and allow normal operations to resume quickly.

Using an industrial floor in laboratories and development facilities, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, chemical laboratories, electronics laboratories or research institutes, offers various advantages:

1. Chemical resistance: Laboratories and development facilities often use a variety of chemicals for research and development work. An industrial floor is chemical resistant and protects the floor from damage caused by contact with many chemical substances.
2. Hygiene and cleanliness: In laboratories, especially in the pharmaceutical and food industries, a high level of hygiene is of crucial importance. Our coating systems are seamless, which minimizes the penetration of dirt and bacteria and makes cleaning and disinfection easier.
3. Slip resistance: Industrial floors can be made slip-resistant to reduce the risk of accidents caused by liquids or damp surfaces and thus ensure the safety of employees.
4. ESD protection: In electronics laboratories where sensitive electronic components are manufactured or tested, an antistatic top floor prevents electrostatic discharge and thus protects the sensitive components.
5. Thermal resistance: Some laboratories are subject to elevated temperatures, e.g. during certain research processes or when working with high-temperature equipment. An industrial floor offers increased thermal resistance and therefore retains its integrity even under such conditions.
6. Resistance to abrasion: In laboratories, heavy equipment, trolleys and laboratory furniture put a strain on the floor. A Qubo® coating is abrasion-resistant and withstands mechanical stress.
7. Chemical and mechanical cleanability: Industrial floors are easy to clean and are resistant to the cleaning agents used in laboratories for cleaning and disinfection.
8. Durability: Our Qubo® coatings are durable and can withstand the daily demands and stresses of laboratories and development facilities, extending the life of the floor and reducing maintenance costs.

In summary, industrial flooring in laboratories and development facilities offers numerous benefits. It helps to create a safe, clean and productive working environment and protect the floor from the specific challenges in these demanding environments.

An industrial floor is ideal for storage areas and offers a number of advantages:
