From gratings to stair treads and work platforms, the surfaces in food and beverage facilities can be a breeding ground for microbes. Regular washing and sanitizing goes a long way toward keeping these surfaces clean, and these steps will always be essential, but it does not hurt to make it harder for odor, stain, and product-degrading microbes to proliferate in the first place. That’s the benefit of using antimicrobial building materials such as Fibergrate® FRP gratings with Microban®.
