LOGBOAT BREWING COMPANY – COLUMBIA, MO – UCRETE FLOOR

Logboat Brewing Company, a microbrewer with a new facility in Columbia, Missouri, needed a flooring surface that could stand up to the tough environment of the fermentation process. In the brewing area, floors are constantly exposed to caustic chemicals and thermal shock, so the surface needs to be sealed and resistant to both mild acids and strong alkalines while being slip resistant and easy to clean. In addition, brewery floors must withstand heavy impact from the required use of forklifts to unload and install equipment and materials. Floors also need to pitch toward drains and be curbed, to prevent liquid overflow. In a public tasting room, the floor’s appearance is as important as durability and stain resistance.

Surface Solutions’ team of in-house experts prepare the 4,500 square foot of new concrete by sloping the surface with BASF Rapid Mortar 1060 at 1/8-inch per foot. The team curb 400 feet using UCRETE® WR, a polyurethane and concrete additive used especially on newly installed concrete to form cove bases and renovate walls. The product is extremely durable, withstanding harsh chemicals and fluctuating temperatures, and is applied easily with a trowel.

The entire floor surface is finished using the three-part UCRETE® HF flooring system in Charcoal Gray to a ¼-inch thickness, ideal for the harsh brewing environment as well as for coolers and restaurant kitchens because it is resistant to hot-water and steam cleaning, abrasion and impact, and prevents slips.

Surface Solutions delivers the entire project on schedule with the customer’s five-day work window, exceeding expectations with a quality in-house installation and a single source five-year warranty.

More microbrewery owners like Logboat Brewing Company are choosing concrete floors and treated surfaces because they exceed the performance of grout-lined tile or other flooring materials for easy cleaning, chemical resistance, durability and appealing appearance.
