Flowcrete Joins the Independent Brewers Association
Flowcrete Australia has joined the Independent Brewers Association (IBA), which consists of companies involved in the Australian brewing industry’s supply chain.
The IBA is currently the only association working to advance the interests of the independent brewing industry, and is an important gateway for suppliers and government bodies to get information to decision makers within the brewing world.
How Artistic Flooring is Reflecting Architecture
Flowcrete is contributing to the latest interior design trend by providing artistic flooring that reflects the architecture of the host building.
Architecture can be described as an expression of cultural principles that have been manifested in a deliberate design, often using technological advancements pertinent to the time of the build. This is why the design of buildings appear to get more creative as technology advances, and why historic architecture is held in such high regard due to the sheer skill needed in the absence of these technologies.
PU vs Epoxy - What’s the Reason for Different Resins?
The two main types of resin floors are polyurethanes (PU) and epoxies – and understanding which is appropriate for different environments is very important for many construction industry professionals.
Each flooring system has differing properties suited to particular uses and choosing the wrong solution can result in costly repairs or even complete floor failure down the line.
How to Create Colourful Floors for Brewery Tours
The adjectives rich, full bodied and crisp don’t just apply to beer, as we often hear them being used to describe how the floor within a brewery is meant to look as well.
This is because aesthetics have become increasingly important to brewers as production facilities simultaneously become tourist attractions. However, this does mean choosing flooring materials that will support the challenges of making beer while maintaining a pleasing, on-brand appearance – which is not always an easy task.
The Recipe for the Perfect Brewery Floor
With beer brewed in Australia accounting for 93% of the nation’s beer consumption, the functionality and hygiene of brewing facilities are key factors to ensure consistent high standards and high turnovers.
The floor underfoot plays a crucial role to ensuring that a brewery can operate effectively, quickly and hygienically – as if the floor fails then the site could be at risk from slips, trips, bacteria build-up and unsightly blemishes.
