What kind of flooring do you have?

[double down]

Hello, we are looking at a heritage building for our distillery location. It currently has plywood floors that need to be addressed. Any opinions on what would be economical that is both practical and meets food safety regulations?

Thanks in advance

Sealed/polished concrete would be ideal.  Anything else will have poor reaction to ethanol and spilled mash.

We went for polished concrete with a slight incline running to the drain.  We stopped polishing before it got too shiny as to leave a bit of grip but extra shiny does look good.

how many of you have sloped floors out there?

I sloped the floor towards the drain, meticulously pressure washed it twice, acid etched it, pressure washed it again, and epoxy coated it. It's holding up nice, and is very easy to clean.
