Flooring solutions
for the Food and
Drinks Industry

Food and drink facilities (production,
packaging, agricultural storage, bottling)
face many challenges with respect to their
flooring needs
Furthermore requirements for certification
(ISO 22000, IFS, FDA etc.) can often
overwhelm companies in this industry

For example…

Wineries….
Need a floor that will not be
subjected to constant abrasion
from acids

Meat processing
facilities….
Need to deal with the heavy
chemical abrasion that occurs
from blood and meat residue

Oil production and
packaging companies ….
Need to be deal with slippery
surfaces that occur from oils
falling on the floor

Dairy product
facilities….
Need a floor resistant to abrasion
from lactic acids. Conventional
epoxy floors are not suitable

So what are the
characteristics of an
effective flooring system
in the food and drinks
sector?

Here are the
Most important
features

1.
Seamless floor

1. Seamless Floor
No joints, no cracks, no
edges where dirt and
bacteria can
accumulate

2.
non-absorbing
surface

The surface should not have pores. It
should be
• 100% waterproof and suitable for
daily washing
• Repellent to oils, acids, fats and
other food related residues
• Resistant to cleaning detergent
2.Non–absorbing surface

3.
easy-to-clean

• Food and drink processing facilities need
to clean their floors several times a day
• The floor must be easy to clean
• The edges of the floor need to be rounded
so muck and dirt don’t gather in these
places
3. Easy to Clean

3. Easy to Clean
Rounded floor edges go
up the wall thus not
enabling dirt and residue
to gather in the corners

4.
operability

Food and drink facilities are subjected on a daily
basis to significant operational challenges:
• Heavy traffic from forklifts carrying significant
loads
• Attack from various food-related chemical
substances that may cause abrasion
• Protection of workers from slipping and falling
4. Operabilty

How can we help?

Ktisis have developed special
flooring systems that address
the needs of the food and
drinks sector

The Ktisofloor system is an
epoxy-resin based self-
leveling system that provides
all of the above mentioned
characteristics

The Ktisopur system is a
polyurethane based system
that provides elasticity and is
suitable for dairy production

Ktisodur Corner mortar is an
epoxy grouting system that
allows the formation of
rounded edges on the floor

Some of our projects…
