Wall coating and coving in Sonipat, Haryana

Many food plants in Kundli, Rai and Barhi manufacture for well-known brands or supply large retailers. That means regular hygiene audits by the brand owner as well as the food safety authority. Auditors routinely check walls, corners and floor-wall junctions. Flaking paint, open corners where dirt collects, and damaged wall surfaces behind equipment show up as findings. A hygienic wall coating and coving system deals with these before the audit rather than after.

What auditors look for on walls

In food production and packing areas, walls are generally expected to be:

• smooth and free from cracks, holes and flaking finishes
• non-absorbent and washable
• light coloured, so contamination is visible
• well sealed at junctions, with no gaps where pests can hide
• in good repair behind and around equipment

Emulsion paint and distemper break down with regular washing, and tile grout lines darken and crack. A resin wall coating stays intact under routine cleaning.

Coves: the detail that matters

The 90-degree corner between floor and wall is one of the hardest places to clean properly. A coved junction replaces it with a smooth curve joined to the floor system. In wet processing areas with PU concrete floors, the cove is usually formed in the same material, so floor and cove are one continuous surface. In dry packing rooms, epoxy mortar coves joined to a coating or self levelling floor work well.

New sheds, fresh plaster

Many plants in the area are new or recently extended, and plaster is often coated too soon to meet a production start date. Wet plaster causes blistering and poor adhesion within weeks. We measure moisture before coating and plan the sequence so rooms needed first are plastered and dried first. Where the programme is very tight, we'll explain the risks and options rather than just going ahead.

Protection against impact

Trolleys, pallet trucks and crates damage walls in busy production areas. A damaged coating is an audit finding waiting to happen. We recommend:

1. bump rails at trolley height along walls in traffic routes
2. corner guards at doorways and column corners
3. kerbs or bollards in front of walls where forklifts operate

Our process

• Survey of walls, junctions, penetrations and moisture
• Removal of old finishes and plaster repairs
• Priming
• Cove formation joined to the floor
• Two coats of hygienic epoxy or PU coating
• Sealing around doors, windows, pipes, conduits and switch boxes

Before an audit

If you have an audit coming up, tell us the date. We can prioritise the rooms and junctions most likely to be flagged and phase the rest afterwards.

FAQs

Can walls be coated without stopping production?

Usually, room by room. Production areas must be screened off and kept clean while coatings dry.

What colour do food plants usually choose?

White, off-white or light grey, so that dirt and contamination are easy to see.

How do we clean coated walls?

With the same food-safe cleaners and sanitisers used on equipment, using soft brushes or cloths rather than abrasive pads.
