No Beef with This Floor Project
Turning the existing industrial building into one suitable for meat processing posed a challenge, specifically when it came to the flooring.
Seamless, durable and simple to maintain—the perfect recipe for food and beverage manufacturing flooring. Our food grade flooring meets USDA and FDA standards with an ultra-durable surface that easily tolerates thermal shock, constant moisture and chemicals from cleaners and ingredients. Resinous flooring is safe, sanitary and slip resistant even— when wet.
Resinous flooring systems are ideal for the food and beverage manufacturing industry. With so many options, it can be hard to identify which systems will work best for the various areas of your facility. Choosing a thermal shock-resistant and durable floor without cracks or crevices is vital.
Dur-A-Flex’s low-maintenance systems provide superior chemical resistance to potent cleaning compounds and food acids while withstanding an excessive amount of material handling equipment traffic. You can improve your company’s bottom line with fewer maintenance-related costs by installing an easy-to-clean floor that can last for many years.
Our sanitary flooring systems feature non-porous, dense, and hygienic surfaces. Maintenance is easy, as our floors are simple to wash and disinfect. Dur-A-Flex coatings are food safe without any joints to trap dirt and bacteria, making it easier to maintain a sanitary environment.
In addition, Dur-A-Flex flooring excels in extreme temperatures. We design our POLY-CRETE® flooring to resist thermal shock and cycling. It can handle oil from fryers and heat from ovens while withstanding cold conditions in freezers and coolers.

Food and beverage processors deal with many challenges that require effective flooring solutions, including temperature extremes, moisture, chemical-intensive cleaning, and constant foot and equipment traffic. Moreover, the USDA, FDA, and OSHA require various inspections to ensure regulatory compliance.
Food processing facilities need seamless, sanitary, and easy-to-clean floors to cover these requirements. Our floors can stand up to high levels of impact and provide the compliance you need. We offer multiple flooring options ideal for operations like bakeries, food packaging plants, freezers, bottling areas, and loading docks.
At Dur-A-Flex, we work with a professional network of installers and support staff. Our partners strive to solve the flooring challenges in your facility. These teams are fully trained professionals who take pride in delivering an extensive range of specialized flooring services and are ready to go whenever you need them. They excel in unique conditions, paying close attention to fine details like cracks, joints, and drains for flawless execution.
Although our floors provide high levels of protection and resistance, it’s critical to perform the care they need to ensure a long life. Your floor will look and function like new by establishing a regular cleaning program. Several products we recommend for cleaning include EZ-Clean, Simoniz 969, and Tire Mark Remover. At no time should you use a wax stripper on your Dur-A-Flex floor.
