FLOOR SOLUTIONS Hiram Walker & Son Ontario
AREA: DISTILLERY PROCESS AREA
PRODUCTS USED: • STONSHIELD HRI Hiram Walker & Sons is the only “grain to glass” operation in Ontario and boasts the largest distillery capacity in North America with 37 fermenters. The manufacturing process distills 180,000 litres of alcohol every 24 hours and operates 24 hours a day, five days a week to produce a variety of products including vodka, rum, and Canadian whisky.
THE STONHARD SOLUTION The Stonhard team suggested Stonshield HRI. This durable flooring system has a decorative, slip-resistant surface. The troweled mortar base provides excellent impact resistance while the quartz topshield layer results in an attractive floor surface, which is textured for safety.
THE CHALLENGE The distillery process area experiences constant tow-motor traffic and liquor spills. This area required a durable and attractive flooring system that would provide a long and maintenance free service-life. With an installation window of only 5 days, a quick turn system was vital.
THE BENEFITS OF STONSHIELD HRI FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY: • Beautiful and durable • Cost-effective, maintenance free, long service-life • No grout lines provides better cleanability and enhanced aesthetics • Slip resistance results in greater worker safety • Better chemical resistance over “typical” flooring options
