Sanitary Floor Drain Design: Old Practice Is Best Practice

Sanitary Floor Drain Design & Keeping Surfaces Safe

A sanitary floor drain design keeps this poured restaurant floor sparkling clean.Flooring drains for sanitation protect this kitchen surface from any design of harm that may come from standing water, or spilled product.

If your business entails any liquids chances are that you are seeking the very best sanitary floor drain design. In addition, you are going to wish for the flooring to go by way of a sanitary flooring as well. However, prior to getting to the flooring a bit of instruction will help you understand the terms utilized.

For instance when speaking of an indirect waste pipe, it means some sort of pipe that is not connected in a direct manner to your waste system. In other words the waste liquid discharges into some kind of plumbing fixture such as a floor sink, or an indirect waste receptor. Both of these are done so that there exists an air gap in order to prevent contamination of foods. Keep in mind that such a receptor must have a corrosion resistant and easy to clean smooth interior surface. Flooring must also be easy to clean and smooth to go with the above.

The cleanest and safest floor available is Silikal which obviously goes well with an indirect waste pipe or actually any sanitary floor drain design. You see Silikal is installed in such a way that the water has but one place to go, and that is down the drain. It will not seep under the flooring where it can putrefy and cause vermin or at least mildew and other unwanted growths.

Now if you are seeking a sanitary floor drain design, then that means that you are in business. Being in business you will greatly appreciate the fact that when you use the Silikal product for your flooring, you will not need to shut down business operations for a couple of day, a weekend, or even 3-4 hours, for all it takes Silikal to cure or harden, is but one hour.

Additionally, Silikal is completely safe to utilize around food, as it is 100% completely free of any VOCs, which are Volatile Organic Compounds. Be careful if you are told that such and such a product has low VOCS. Just how low must such VOCs be for you to trust them? Please ascertain that your floors receive a no VOC product only with Silikal.

Wherever a sanitary floor drain design is needed means that water will be involved, and water and floors means slips and falls. Thus you will be more than relieved that Silikal is a product that is utilized in the slipperiest of wet conditions, such as on boat & vessel hulls that go out to sea.

And since Silikal flooring is totally non-porous, your cleaning staff will be inordinately pleased with having to clean a Silikal floor. Now, do not share this with your cleaning staff, but Silikal floors are the easiest in the world to keep clean.
