Cannabis Cultivation Flooring – What You Need To Know

Cannabis and all things cannabis is a booming industry in Canada, especially with its recent legalization. Many are looking to get into the business by becoming retail vendors and/or marijuana producers. Having the right kind of professional flooring for your cannabis growing operations is very important. Having the right flooring (and walls) has the potential to impact your bottom line, so working with flooring professionals like South Island Surfaces is a great idea.

The Best Flooring for Growing Cannabis

We pride ourselves on being able to produce the best flooring options for growing cannabis. South Island Surfaces specializes in flooring and walls of all types, and we ensure the quality of our work so our clients can have complete peace-of-mind. We incorporate the right tools and materials to ensure our floors and walls are always as resistant as possible to impact, chemicals, and more. This ensures that your cannabis production operation is safe for both your plants & employees!

Antimicrobial Floor Coatings

Another perfect example of what makes our epoxy floors perfect for cannabis manufacturing and cultivation is are the anti-microbial properties. Nothing can beat down a healthy crop of perfect ganja than an outbreak or mildew or mold caused by the humidity and contamination. Discovering bud rot after all the hard work of the initial growing cycle is a real buzz kill!

Straight concrete is naturally porous, and will provide the perfect breeding ground for plant-killing bacteria like powdery mildew, botrytis, and Aspergillus. Our purpose designed epoxy floors are completely sealed so bacteria and microbes have nowhere to hide from your diligent cleaning.

Ensuring that your cannabis cultivation floor coating is perfectly matched to your industry will save you thousands in costs and save you peace of mind, knowing that bacteria can not survive on your floors.

Seamless and Sanitary Floor Design

The design of a manufacturing floor also plays a critical role in the sanitation and cleanability of a cannabis cultivation project.

First, as mentioned earlier, the floor is seamless and completely sealed from wall to wall. There are no ‘grout lines’ and no breaks in the concrete floor. The seals around the floor drains are flush and sealed around the drain caps.

The joint between the floor and wall are coved. These coved edges are curved and provide a perfect surface for cleaning in the absence of harsh, right-angle corners and edges where bacteria and mold love to gather.

Chemical Resistance & Durability

It’s well known that our epoxy floor coatings are chemically resistant from a huge range of solvents and harsh chemicals. Caustic cleaners and disinfectants are easily handled by properly cured epoxy as well as any cleaning chemicals from acidic to alkaline.

The durability of an epoxy finished floor is unparalleled and can withstand very heavy foot traffic as well as impact from hard objects falling from work benches and people with butter fingers.
