What is Brewery and Distillery Flooring?
Brewery and distillery flooring must withstand the demanding conditions of alcohol production environments. Floors are constantly exposed to moisture, sugars, acids, and alcohol, along with heavy foot traffic and equipment loads. The flooring must also be able to withstand the harsh chemical exposure from clean-in-place (CIP) systems, which involve repeated cycles of caustic and acidic cleaners, hot water rinses, and sanitising agents used to maintain hygiene standards in brewing and distilling equipment.
To meet these challenges, industrial-grade resin flooring systems are often used, as they are durable, non-porous, slip-resistant, and easy to clean, ensuring long-term performance, safety, and hygiene in high-pressure production settings.

Why Choose Resin Flooring for Breweries and Distilleries?
Resin flooring is an excellent choice for breweries and distilleries thanks to its durability, chemical resistance, and hygiene benefits. Designed to withstand aggressive CIP cleaning processes involving acids, alkalis, and hot water, resin floors resist chemical damage, high temperatures, and thermal shock, making them ideal for fermentation rooms and bottling halls. Their seamless, non-porous surface prevents bacteria, mould, and spills from seeping in, ensuring easy cleaning and maintaining strict hygiene standards.
Brewery Flooring Options
Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy resin flooring is renowned for its high durability, seamless finish, and exceptional chemical resistance. It creates a hard, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and maintain, making it ideal for areas that require hygiene and toughness.
Polyurethane Flooring
PU flooring is highly flexible and offers superior resistance to thermal shock, chemicals, and physical impact. PU flooring is available with anti-slip textures, enhancing safety, and it provides greater comfort underfoot compared to epoxy flooring.
Polyaspartic Flooring
Polyaspartic flooring is a fast-curing, durable resin system based on aliphatic polyurea technology, ideal for time-sensitive industrial environments due to its excellent adhesion, chemical resistance.
MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) Flooring
MMA resin is valued for its ultra-fast curing time, and is often ready for use within a few hours, making it ideal when quick installation or minimal downtime is critical. It also offers excellent durability, slip resistance, and UV stability.
Polyurea Flooring
Polyurea flooring is a fast-curing, flexible, and highly durable resin coating that resists chemicals, impact, and abrasion, making it ideal for environments requiring quick installation and minimal disruption.
Brewery Flooring Applications
Brewhouse & Brewing Areas
The brewing area is one of the harshest environments in the facility. A floor in this area must be able to withstand high temperatures and be easy to clean. Polyurethane flooring is typically used here due to its excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and chemicals.
Spaces Around Fermentation & Storage Tanks
Epoxy resin flooring is the ideal choice for these areas, as it offers a smooth, professional finish that’s durable, easy to clean, and resistant to stains and wear.
Cold Storage Areas
Cold rooms and refrigeration areas require floors that perform well at low temperatures and remain non-slip in moist or icy conditions. Methyl methacrylate is a good option here due to its ability to cure in cold environments and its excellent moisture resistance.
Tasting Rooms & Visitor Areas
These public-facing areas require attractive, durable flooring that’s easy to maintain. Floors may also be exposed to sunlight and need to retain their colour and finish.
Understanding the installation process of resin flooring
While the installation process of resin flooring is uncomplicated, it demands the touch of professionals to achieve the best possible outcomes. Therefore, our team at Industrial Resin Flooring manages the whole process, from the initial surface preparation to the final touches. As a result, ensuring minimal interruption to your warehouse operations.
Before we embark on the installation process, we perform a detailed inspection of the area. Moreover, this involves checking for any existing damages or irregularities on the floor that could hinder the installation process. After this step, we focus on preparing the surface by ensuring it is smooth, clean, and ready. As a result, providing the perfect base for the new flooring.
At this stage, our experienced installers apply the resin flooring with a focus on achieving a smooth and even finish. Furthermore, we use top-grade materials and employ cutting-edge techniques to ensure the durability and longevity of your warehouse floor.
After the installation is complete, we don’t leave you hanging. We provide useful guidance on how to maintain your new resin flooring. By following regular cleaning routines and scheduling occasional professional maintenance, your floor will retain its aesthetic appeal and functionality for many years to come.
