Flooring for Food & Beverage Facilities in Toronto

Taylored Industrial Flooring installs CFIA-compliant antimicrobial epoxy flooring systems for food processing, food packaging, and beverage production facilities across the Greater Toronto Area, including Markham, Mississauga, Brampton, Ajax, and Vaughan. All food and beverage flooring projects are completed by in-house technicians and specified to meet Canadian Food Inspection Agency requirements for flooring in food-contact zones.

CFIA-Compliant Flooring for Food Processing Areas

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency requires that floors in food-contact zones be smooth, impervious, non-absorbent, and constructed of materials that withstand the cleaning and sanitising agents used in food production. Standard concrete and generic epoxy systems do not meet these requirements — they absorb moisture, harbour bacteria in micro-cracks, and deteriorate under the thermal cycling and chemical attack of production washdowns.

Taylored specifies food-grade epoxy urethane or slurry systems formulated specifically for food production environments. These systems withstand daily steam cleaning, aggressive sanitisers, thermal shock from hot water washdowns, and mechanical impact from production equipment — without cracking, delaminating, or developing surface defects that create bacterial harborage points.

• Epoxy Urethane Systems: Seamless, non-porous surface rated for wet food processing areas with continuous cleaning requirements
• Cove Base: Integral epoxy cove at floor-to-wall junctions eliminates the gap where bacteria and debris accumulate
• Antimicrobial Additives: Silver ion agents incorporated into the system for facilities with elevated hygiene requirements
• Slip Resistance: Broadcast aggregate in walkways and production areas provides grip under wet washdown conditions
• Chemical Resistance: Specified to resist your facility's cleaning agents — acids, alkalis, and chlorine-based sanitisers

Washdown-Rated Systems for Wet Production Zones

Wet food processing zones — meat cutting, dairy production, beverage bottling, and produce washing — are among the most demanding flooring environments in industrial settings. Daily hot water washdowns, acidic food waste, sanitising chemicals, and constant foot and vehicle traffic attack flooring systems not specifically engineered for these conditions.

Taylored specifies epoxy urethane slurry systems for wet food processing areas in Toronto facilities. These systems are applied at 6–9mm thickness with broadcast aggregate for slip resistance. Their urethane chemistry provides thermal shock resistance that pure epoxy cannot match — preventing the cracking that occurs when hot washdown water rapidly heats the floor surface. The seamless finish with integral cove base eliminates every bacterial harborage point in the floor assembly.

• Thermal Shock Resistance: Urethane-modified systems withstand rapid temperature changes from hot washdown water without cracking
• Zero Harborage Points: Seamless floor-to-wall transition via integral cove base — no gaps, joints, or edges for bacteria and food debris to accumulate
• Drain Integration: Proper slope-to-drain finishing ensures complete water evacuation during washdown
• HACCP Compatible: System design supports HACCP cleaning zone documentation requirements

Dry Storage, Packaging, and Loading Dock Areas

Dry storage and packaging zones have different requirements than wet production areas — they need durability, cleanability, and forklift compatibility but do not face the thermal shock and aggressive chemical exposure of production areas. Taylored provides zone-specific specifications that match the system to the actual demands of each area within your facility.

• Dry Storage: Standard commercial epoxy or polished concrete providing a clean, dust-free surface for packaged goods storage
• Loading Docks: Heavy-duty epoxy mortar systems rated for transport truck wheel loads and pallet jack traffic
• Packaging Lines: Mid-weight epoxy systems with anti-static options for facilities handling dry goods and film packaging
