Durable flooring solution for Odin Manx Beer

21 June 2024

Kemtile has delivered single-source flooring solution for Odin’s Manx Beer at its new brewery on the Isle of Man.

As part of its ambition to set up a new 1,000l facility with four fermenters, a grain store and a cold room, Odin’s Manx Beer need to ensure it brewery had hygienic, hard-wearing and brewery-compliant flooring along with the associated drainage. 

The brewer approached Kemtile to complete the work after seeing its flooring in another craft brewery.

Kemtile carried out a review of the site before starting the works and was able to successfully complete the project within a specified two-week period. The first phase of the works saw stainless steel drainage from Blucher installed on the site, while the second phase involved Kemtile installing its new Stonhard flooring system. 

To comply with good hygiene practices, Kemtile installed its own long-standing co-polymer screed to form the all-important floor ‘falls’, ensuring there will be no standing water on the floors. Following the installation of the co-polymer, Stonclad UF was installed.

HACCP accredited 
Stonclad UF is a single application, high-performance polyurethane floor screed which has HACCP accreditation and a matching resin cove detail completed the installation. 

Stonclad UF is said to offer good impact resistance. Because of its polyurethane chemistry and specially blended hard-wearing aggregates, it provides slip resistance along with good abrasion, thermal shock, thermal cycling and chemical resistance. These characteristics minimise the risk of deterioration from the beer and caustic solutions that are used extensively within the brewing industry. The solution is also hygienic and easy to clean due to its dense, waterproof, seamless surface. These factors make it a suitable choice for use throughout the food and beverage industry.

Commenting on the solution, Rob Storey, Owner of Odin’s Manx Beer, said: “We couldn’t be more satisfied with Kemtile who provided us with a single-source service, delivering a robust flooring solution and drainage system. 

“Not only did the team exceed our expectations, but they also showed exceptional flexibility, accommodating our request for a logo into the Stonclad floor. This wasn’t initially planned, but Kemtile willingly incorporated it within the works.”
