Floor Coving Is Used To Do What

November 01, 2022

Floor Coving Basics

With a seamless floor covering (such as urethane, epoxy, or methyl methacrylate), an integrated sanitary baseboard creates a seamless floor finish that does not require seams. The cove and flooring are integrated into an integral base, rather than having the cove applied on top of the flooring material (like a PVC or pencil cove). Integrally grooved bases have several advantages, such as the fact that there are no seams or joints where bacteria or dirt can get trapped, which makes them hygienic. Cleanliness and hygiene in the space can be ensured with seamless flooring systems with an integrated cove base installed on a radius at the bottom at the appropriate angle to suit the space. Installation types and basics

There are generally two types of coves: a radius in the corner of a wall or a 45 degree angle, which cannot prevent the easy accumulation of dirt and debris in the corner of a wall when applied . In industrial spaces, baseboards help prevent water from getting under the walls and holding chemicals in the baseboard area. The bases make cleaning easier by preventing bacteria, dirt and insects from hiding under the walls. Precast wall edging provides additional protection in some spaces, such as food and pharmaceutical processing environments, beyond cove bases. In commercial kitchens, bathrooms, food and beverage processing environments, wet commercial and industrial environments and any other area where hygiene standards are required, floor plinths should be fitted to ensure safety hygienic and easy to clean. A mop or rags/wipes are generally used for the base of the skirting board to clean integral floor skirting boards, as they can easily be cleaned using the same cleaner as the floor. Through the seams of the floor-wall joint, washing water and spilled substances can seep into the hidden structure of the building, becoming "food" for pathogenic microbes. By providing a barrier against this, the integrated flooring improves the overall cleanliness of the facility. With the integrated floor covering, spills and pathogens are easily isolated from the surface, allowing them to be cleaned up and disposed of properly. Plus, the spokes eliminate hard-to-reach corners at standard floor-to-wall junctions that can be difficult to clean. Therefore, integral floor skirting helps reduce labor costs and improve results by allowing for more effective and efficient cleaning. However, a high-strength cornice can prevent heavy carts and equipment from accidentally penetrating the walls of the facility. Fluid-applied, seamless resin flooring throughout offers great design flexibility. Seamless siding with integral plinth will meet your needs and budget, whether based on organizational branding, evidence-based design, or architectural vision. In industrial, commercial and institutional settings, seamless flooring and baseboard systems offer a wide range of impressive benefits.

Coving System

Degafloor plinth system

Degafloor CP Coving System 200 is a ready-to-use pre-thickened coving paste used to form covings to match Degafloor flooring systems. The Coving system is particularly useful in the beverage and food manufacturing industry where the environment is demanding and the floor must be non-slip, hard-wearing and hygienic.

The Coving system is compatible with many Degafloors internal resin flooring systems.

This 90-degree joint not only ruins an otherwise transparent, waterproof finish, it's also extremely difficult to clean properly, making it a time bomb for food production facilities that can't afford to accumulate germs. close to personnel, equipment and produce. Molding is ideal for smoothing out this space and creating a seamless, easily cleanable transition between floor and wall that leaves dirt, dust and germs with no place to hide. Here are our top five cornice tips to help catering facilities ensure a hygienic floor that meets Australian Food and Beverage industry standards. This includes HACCP, local councils, Food Standards Australia New Zealand and the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (which relates to export facilities). Food Standards Australia New Zealand states that "mouldings shall be provided in new premises in areas where floors are intended to be cleaned or likely to be cleaned by rinsing with water".
