The British Club, a renowned social club in Bahrain serving expats and locals since 1930, recently expanded its kitchen and restaurant facilities. Located in Um Al Hassam, this historic hub required a flooring solution fit for the demanding conditions of an industrial kitchen. Degafloor Middle East, a trusted flooring company in Bahrain, recommended their MMA resin flooring system to meet the British Club’s high standards for non-slip, food-safe, and durable industrial kitchen flooring.
The British Club wanted the ideal flooring for their commercial kitchen—a surface that would ensure staff safety, withstand daily wear, and comply with food safety standards. With a large kitchen area prone to spills from hot oils, boiling water, and frequent cleaning with industrial-strength agents, the Club required:
- A non-slip flooring solution to prevent slips and falls.
- A seamless, food-safe surface that could meet strict hygiene standards.
- Durability to withstand both heavy kitchen traffic and frequent cleaning over the long term.
Key Benefits of Degafloor’s MMA Resin Flooring for Commercial Kitchens
Degafloor’s MMA resin flooring proved ideal for industrial kitchens due to its combination of durability, safety, and easy maintenance. Key advantages of MMA resin flooring over alternatives like epoxy and polyurethane (PU) include:
Slip Resistance and Safety: The MMA resin’s non-slip flooring properties provide a high level of slip resistance, ideal for busy kitchen environments.
Chemical Bonding to Cement Substrates: Degafloor’s MMA resin flooring chemically bonds to cement, creating a stable, long-lasting surface that is resistant to chipping, peeling, or damage under intense use.
Heat and UV Resistance: With resistance up to 80°C and protection against UV light exposure, this flooring withstands the temperature fluctuations and exposure common in industrial kitchens.
Seamless and Hygienic: The Full Broadcast MMA system is applied as a seamless, impermeable layer without pinholes or air bubbles, preventing contaminants from building up and allowing for efficient, thorough cleaning.
HACCP International Food Safety Certified flooring for food processing, food preparation, and food packaging.
How Degafloor’s Non-Slip Flooring Met the British Club’s Requirements
Degafloor Middle East was given a strict timeline to complete the 250-square-meter kitchen floor installation. A delay occurred when a pipe leak required a section of the new floor to be broken up and repaired. Thanks to MMA resin’s fast-curing properties, Degafloor’s team completed the seamless repair without visible signs of disruption. The floor was fully cured and ready for use in 3 days, helping the Club meet its timeline.
Degafloor’s MMA resin non-slip flooring provided the British Club with a seamless, food-safe kitchen floor that met all their requirements for durability and safety.
Comparing MMA Resin, Epoxy, and PU Flooring for Industrial Kitchens
When selecting the best flooring for an industrial kitchen, it’s essential to consider the unique benefits of MMA resin flooring versus epoxy and polyurethane:
MMA Resin Flooring:
- Durability: Highly resistant to temperature changes, UV light, chemicals, and physical impacts.
- Fast Curing: Allows for rapid installation, minimizing downtime in busy facilities.
- Seamless Repair: Ensures a cohesive finish even after repairs, ideal for large, high-traffic spaces like industrial kitchens.
Epoxy Flooring:
- Durability: Epoxy is resilient but may degrade under extreme temperatures or UV light, leading to discoloration or cracking.
- Curing Time: Epoxy has a longer curing time than MMA resin, often extending project timelines.
- Repair Visibility: Epoxy repairs can be more visible, potentially affecting aesthetics.
Polyurethane (PU) Flooring:
- Durability: PU flooring is flexible and resistant to abrasion but may deteriorate faster when exposed to chemicals and high heat.
- Curing and Repair: Slower curing than MMA and less seamless repair options.
