Why coving details decide audits
Sharp internal corners harbour biofilms. Maverick details stainless or resin coves, radius transitions, and drain surrounds to manufacturer hygiene drawings. We photograph critical details before screed covers them.
Thermal shock from ovens, steam, and cold rooms
PU cement systems tolerate wider thermal swings than standard epoxy in many food lines. Maverick aligns product choice to real process temperatures — not brochure adjectives.
Weekend shutdown sequencing
MMA or fast-cure screeds can compress windows, but only when prep is complete before Friday night. We stage plant hygiene sign-offs and commissioning wipes as programme gates.
Compliance language (non-legal)
Maverick references HACCP/ISO hygiene principles as operational context. Final compliance remains the facility’s certification regime — we supply system datasheets and QA records installers are typically asked for during audits.
Typical project profiles (anonymised)
Commercial bakery oven line
Thermal-shock screed survived daily oven washdowns after failed DIY epoxy blistered within months.
Abattoir weekend MMA programme
Anti-slip profiles and drainage upgrades completed in a 54-hour shutdown with QA pulls filed Monday morning.
Bottling line chemical bund
Bund and walkway systems matched chemical matrix tables from the owner’s process engineer.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a floor “HACCP compliant”?▼
Typically seamless construction, cleanable surfaces, appropriate drainage, coving, and slip control suited to wet processes — verified against facility programmes and auditor expectations. Maverick supplies product evidence; we do not certify the plant.
PU cement vs epoxy in wet processing?▼
PU cement systems often tolerate thermal cycling and harsh cleaning better in wet food environments — final choice follows manufacturer exposure guidance.
How high should coving be?▼
Heights follow hygienic detail drawings — commonly 100–150 mm in many food specs but project-specific.
Can you work over tiled floors?▼
Usually requires removal or mechanical scarification and risk assessment — overlays on unstable tiles fail.
What about drains?▼
Stainless trapped drains and surround detailing are coordinated with plumbers before screed pours.
Do you provide slip certificates?▼
Pendulum or ramp testing can be arranged where specifications demand documented slip values.
How do you control dust during prep?▼
HEPA-assisted grinding, negative air where possible, and food-safe containment mats in live plants.
What warranties apply?▼
Manufacturer-backed warranties with cleaning discipline; CPA-safe wording in proposals.
Can Maverick coordinate third-party QA?▼
Yes for film thickness and holiday detection on major installs.
Do you service beverage and dairy?▼
Yes — chemical exposure tables guide resin selection for lactic and caustic washdown suites.
