Brewery Flooring

Resilient Resin Flooring for Brewing Facilities

Brewery flooring must withstand some of the harshest conditions found in food and drink production. Floors are regularly exposed to water, sugars, organic acids, alcohol, cleaning chemicals and frequent washdowns, all while supporting heavy foot traffic, kegs, pallets and mobile equipment.

For this reason, brewery flooring is most commonly installed using specialist resin systems rather than bare concrete or tiled finishes. A seamless resin floor creates a dense, non porous surface that resists chemical attack, prevents liquid ingress and supports effective cleaning without deterioration of the substrate.

In brewing environments, beer spillages and cleaning processes introduce acidic compounds that react with the alkaline cement paste found in concrete. Over time, this reaction can cause cracking, surface breakdown and uneven floors, leading to hygiene concerns and safety risks. Resin flooring systems protect the underlying structure by forming a chemically resistant barrier that is designed specifically for these conditions.

Effective brewery floor design also considers drainage and hygiene. Resin systems can be installed with formed falls to stainless steel drainage and integrated details such as hygienic resin flooring principles, helping to manage liquids, reduce slip risk and support consistent cleaning regimes throughout the facility.

Polyurethane Screeds on Brewery Flooring

Polyurethane resin screeds are widely specified for brewery flooring because they are specifically designed to withstand the chemical, thermal and mechanical demands of brewing environments.

During the brewing and cleaning process, floors are exposed to organic acids, sugars, alcohol, hot water washdowns and aggressive cleaning agents. Polyurethane screeds provide excellent resistance to these substances, helping to prevent surface breakdown, cracking and long term deterioration that can occur with concrete or less robust flooring systems.

A key advantage of polyurethane screeds in breweries is their method of application. Being trowel applied at a higher thickness, typically around 6 to 9 millimetres, they allow falls to be formed within the floor. This supports effective drainage, reduces standing liquids and improves safety in wet areas.

Polyurethane resin flooring also offers a degree of flexibility that allows it to tolerate thermal movement and temperature fluctuations common in brewing operations. This makes it particularly suitable for areas subject to hot water cleaning and regular thermal cycling.

As a result, polyurethane screeds provide a durable, hygienic and long lasting flooring solution for breweries, microbreweries and distilleries where performance and reliability are essential.

Why choose monarch for your brewery flooring needs

Monarch has extensive experience installing brewery flooring systems across the UK, working with breweries of all sizes from microbreweries to large scale production facilities. Our approach focuses on understanding how each area of the brewery operates, from brewhouses and fermentation areas through to packaging, storage and cleaning zones.

Brewery flooring must be designed around real operational demands. This includes managing frequent washdowns, chemical exposure, organic acids, sugars and alcohol while maintaining safe working conditions for staff and equipment. We take these factors into account at the design stage to ensure the flooring system is suitable for the specific environment and processes involved.

As part of the installation, we regularly incorporate details such as formed falls to drainage, stainless steel drainage interfaces and resin coved skirting to support hygiene, safety and long term durability. This ensures the finished floor performs as a complete system rather than a standalone surface.

Our experience allows us to advise on appropriate resin specifications, preparation methods and installation sequencing to minimise disruption to brewery operations while delivering a floor that is fit for purpose and built to last.

specialist Brewery Flooring product - monarthane

Monarthane is a three-part, resin-rich, heavy-duty polyurethane floor screed designed to provide a floor surface that is resistant to chemical attack and the toughest physical abrasions. This makes it an ideal choice for brewery flooring solutions.

It is suitable for areas subjected to abrasion, heavy loading, chemical exposure, and places where a slip-resistant, seamless, sealed profile is essential. Due to these advantages and more, Monarthane is one of the leading polyurethane systems that we install for brewery flooring. While it is particularly well-suited for breweries, distilleries and microbreweries, there are many other applications where Monarthane can be utilized.

In addition to our own brand of materials, we also install resin products from reputable and specified brands, including RESDEV and Remmers. These each have their own unique systems which can be a suitable choice for your brewery flooring needs.

Brewery Flooring solutions

Monarch provides brewery flooring solutions that are designed around the realities of brewing environments rather than generic industrial use. Our resin flooring systems are selected to withstand chemical exposure, frequent washdowns and heavy use while supporting hygiene, safety and long term performance.

By using polyurethane resin systems, brewery floors are protected from the acids, sugars and cleaning processes that can damage untreated concrete surfaces. In addition, resin floors can be designed with formed falls to stainless steel drainage, helping to manage liquids and reduce slip risk across the brewery.

Each brewery flooring system is specified based on how the space is used, taking into account production areas, cleaning regimes and operational demands. This ensures the finished floor performs reliably as part of the wider brewery environment rather than as a standalone surface.
