In food production it is vital that the correct flooring is chosen for maximum safety and efficiency around the workplace. The main flooring requirements in the food industry are a balance of durability, cleanability and an anti-slip profile, which all contribute to a safe and hygienic environment.

Recently John Lord was commissioned to manufacture and install a suitable anti-slip flooring system throughout the Tilly homemade confectionary facility in Scotland. The production facilities differed from dry to wet processing where spillages occurred and a daily cleaning regime. Taking into consideration Tilly’s requirements, John Lord decided the best flooring to use was their Uragard HTAS, which was back-rolled to provide a sufficient compromise between a high grade, anti-slip profile and the cleanability of the floor. Tilly chose the bright ‘Buff’ yellow colour from the range to help differentiate from their dark fudge product.

British manufactured and installed throughout the UK and internationally, the Uragard polyurethane resin flooring range is ideal for the food processing industry. Each product has a different attribute offering a floor solution for any environment. In environments where meat, fat and grease is present, the most aggressive anti-slip grade floor is ideal and provides the vital safety under foot to all operatives in the area. In environments where dry processing and packaging is present, a lower grade of anti-slip is preferred decreasing cleanability times and providing excellent abrasion resistance for high volumes of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
