If you're dealing with standing water, slow drainage, or unsanitary conditions in your food and beverage facility, you're not alone. Many commercial kitchens, bottling plants, and restaurants operate on flat concrete slabs that were never designed for efficient drainage. And when water pools, it doesn’t just affect safety—it puts sanitation, compliance, and your bottom line at risk.
Whether it’s a converted retail space, an aging tile floor, or a dairy brick system, the underlying issue is often the same: a lack of proper slope and drainage. Over time, grout beds fail, harboring moisture, bacteria, and contaminants that degrade your floor—and your facility’s performance.
Constant wash-downs, hot water, harsh chemicals, grease, and pallet jack traffic are all part of daily life in food production and kitchen environments. Urethane cementitious flooring systems like Resinwerks Bio-Cem are engineered to withstand these harsh conditions—but only if the substrate beneath is properly pitched.
To prevent water pooling and ensure safe, sanitary surfaces:
Resinwerks Accu-Grade is a heavy-duty, urethane cementitious mortar designed specifically for pitching and sloping floors in food-grade environments. It provides a chemically compatible base for Bio-Cem flooring systems, ensuring a seamless and long-lasting finish.
Accu-Grade’s coarse aggregate blend makes it easy to screed and shape while creating a durable, non-shrinking base. Once cured, your Bio-Cem overlay bonds seamlessly to the new slope.
Step 1: Assess & Prep
Step 2: Layout Your Slope
Step 3: Apply the Mortar
Step 4: Overlay with Bio-Cem
To estimate how much Accu-Grade you’ll need:
Example Calculation:
1"12"×8′×10′=6.66 cubic feet\frac{1"}{12"} \times 8' \times 10' = 6.66 \text{ cubic feet}12"1"×8′×10′=6.66 cubic feet
6.660.6=11.1 kits\frac{6.66}{0.6} = 11.1 \text{ kits}0.66.66=11.1 kits
Accu-Grade makes it easier than ever to build slope that lasts—eliminating puddling, reducing maintenance, and supporting hygienic compliance.
