Food Grade Flooring Perth
Seamless, hygienic floor systems for commercial kitchens, food processing plants, cold storage and dairies. Specified to hold up under hot wash-down, and installed around your production schedule.
Floors That Pass Inspection And Keep Passing
A food floor has to do two jobs at once. It has to be cleanable to a standard an auditor will accept, and it has to survive the cleaning itself.
That second part is where most food floors fail. Hot water, caustic detergents and sanitisers attack a coating from the top while thermal shock works on the bond underneath. A standard epoxy that would last twenty years in a warehouse can be chalking and blistering in a processing area inside two.
We have been coating food premises in Perth for more than 25 years, from small commercial kitchens through to processing plants and abattoirs. We specify the system around the conditions in your building rather than putting the same product everywhere.

What A Food Grade Floor Needs
Seamless
No joins, no grout lines and no tiles. Every seam in a food area is somewhere product and bacteria collect and somewhere an auditor will look.
Coved at the walls
The floor turns up the wall in a continuous curve instead of meeting it at a right angle. There is no corner to trap debris, and the whole junction hoses down.
Non-porous
Nothing soaks in. Blood, fat, brine, dairy, acid from fruit and vegetable processing all sit on the surface and wash away.
Falls to drain
Water has to leave the floor. Where the existing slab does not fall correctly, we can build falls into the system so wash-down water goes where it should rather than pooling.
Slip rated for the conditions
A wet floor with fat on it is a different problem to a dry one. We build aggregate into the coating and set the grip level to match the area, so it stays safe underfoot while it is still cleanable.
Able to take the cleaning
Hot water, steam, caustics and sanitisers, repeatedly, for years. This is the requirement that drives the choice of system.
The Systems We Install In Food Premises
Polyurethane cement
Our usual recommendation for wet processing areas, and the system that handles the hardest conditions. It takes hot wash-down and steam cleaning, tolerates thermal shock, resists the organic acids that come out of food production, and takes a heavy slip rating without becoming difficult to clean. Where a floor gets hosed with hot water daily, this is what goes down.
Food grade epoxy
The right answer in drier areas – dry stores, packing rooms, front-of-house food prep, cool rooms without heavy wash-down. Seamless, non-porous and easier on the budget than PU cement where the conditions do not demand it.
Coving and drainage detailing
Coved skirtings, drain surrounds and threshold detailing are part of the system rather than an extra. This is usually where a cheap food floor comes apart first.
Food Grade Flooring By Facility
We Work Around Your Production Schedule
Very few food businesses can hand over a room for a week. Most of our food grade work happens in shutdown windows, over weekends, or in staged sections so you keep operating while the floor goes in.
Fast-curing systems mean an area can often be back in service the next morning. At the site visit we work out how to stage it, then programme the job around what you can actually give us rather than the other way round.
For regional WA sites we mobilise with everything needed to finish in one trip.
What To Expect
- Site visit
We look at the slab, test for moisture, check the drainage falls and the existing cleaning regime, and talk through what runs in the space. - Specification and quote
A written scope naming the system, the build thickness, the slip rating, the coving detail and the preparation method. Back within 48 hours. - Programming
Nights, weekends, shutdown windows or staged areas. Whatever keeps you running. - Preparation
Diamond grinding or shot blasting back to sound concrete. Old coating removal, crack repair, drain and threshold detailing. - Installation
Coved, sealed and finished to the specified slip rating. - Handover
Product data sheets, cure times and a cleaning regime that will not damage what we have just installed.

Food Grade Flooring Questions
Is epoxy suitable for a food premises?
In the right areas, yes. For dry stores, packing rooms and front-of-house prep it works well. In wet processing areas with hot wash-down we recommend polyurethane cement instead, because standard epoxy will not survive the cleaning regime long term.
How long does the floor take to install?
It depends on the area and the preparation needed, but most food jobs are staged so you are not shut down. We work out the programme at the site visit based on the access windows you can give us.
Can you work while we are producing?
Usually, yes, by staging the work into sections and coating outside production hours. Full shutdowns are rarely necessary.
Will it be slippery when wet?
Not if it is specified properly. We build aggregate into the coating and set the grip level to match the area. Wet processing floors get a heavier grip than a dry store, and we balance that against keeping the surface cleanable.
Can you fix drainage falls at the same time?
Yes. Where an existing slab holds water, we can build falls into the system so wash-down water runs to the drains instead of sitting in low spots.
What about coving?
Coved skirtings are part of how we build a food floor rather than an optional extra. The floor turns up the wall in a continuous curve so there is no corner to trap debris.
How do we clean it without damaging it?
We hand over a cleaning regime with the job. The systems we install take hot water, steam and commercial detergents, but the concentrations and contact times matter, and we will run your team through it.
Do you work outside the Perth metro?
Yes, including regional and remote WA sites.
