Metabronze contributes to Hygiene, Safety, and Durability at McDonald's Stores.
SPS Floor Wastes and Cleanouts from Metabronze have been installed for the floors of several new and refurbished McDonald's stores, ensuring hygiene and durability for the high-traffic restaurants.
The Metabronze team is proud to have contributed to the functionality and aesthetic appeal of layouts for new McDonald's restaurants in Taupo, Hamilton East, Kumeu, Westgate, and Silverdale, with several other stores across the country now receiving Metabronze products for their store upgrades.
Hygiene, efficiency and ease of cleaning are all crucial for busy quick service restaurant chains such as McDonald's, making the selection of durable and functional drainage products essential. With personal and prompt service, Metabronze has supported these projects by providing input into product selection, supplying products on time — including overnight or same-day delivery when necessary, and offering technical information for compliant installation.
Their range of SPS products, including the Q150SR-BT Basket Trap, Q200SR, Q130SR, and Q150SR Floor Wastes, as well as the R130SCRN Cleanout, are installed throughout various store areas to help ensure hygiene, safety, and durability for the heavily used flooring surfaces in these successful quick service restaurants. These products are made from premium 304 and 316-grade stainless steel, are Watermark Certified, and include design features such as hinged grates, heel-friendly and load-bearing surfaces, and excellent slip resistance to enhance store operations.
Hinged basket traps for easy access and cleaning
One key product Metabronze supplied for the restaurants is the SPS Q150SR-BT Square Push-In Basket Trap floor waste.
These SPS products feature hinged grates for easy access and cleaning, a removable stainless-steel basket, and a fixed secondary strainer. To improve hygiene, the basket trap assemblies include components made from 304 and 316 grade stainless steel.
Durable square floor waste drains keep key areas safe
SPS Floor Wastes are also used throughout the stores within the kitchen and food preparation areas, service and utility zones, and the waste and loading areas.
One of the preferred Floor Waste Drains is the SPS Q200SR, a 200mm square frame push-in floor drain with a 100mm outlet, featuring a heavy-duty hinged grate with a heel-friendly surface pattern. This drain, with a high load-bearing capacity (Class C per AS3996-2006) can be installed both indoors and outdoors for commercial premises. It is made from 316-grade stainless steel and can be installed with a puddle flange. Often, this drain is paired with the SPS SBV85 80mm Strainer Basket to prevent solid waste from entering the plumbing system.
The SPS Q130SR, a 130mm square frame push-in floor drain, is used throughout the interiors of the stores. This general-use outlet floor waste drain, featuring a 100mm outlet, is made from 316-grade stainless steel and, like the Q200SR, has a modern satin finish.
The SPS Q150SR 150mm square frame floor waste drain is sometimes selected as an alternative to the Q130SR due to its hinged grate, 6mm gap, heel-friendly grate pattern, with the larger diameter grate enabling more effective drainage of surface water. The Q150SR can also be installed with a puddle flange.
Cleanouts that offer load-bearing capacity and slip resistance
For pipe inspection within internal flooring areas and adjoining zones such as loading bays and parking spaces, the SPS R130SCRN 130mm Round Push-In Cleanout is used for its load-bearing capacity (Class D as per AS3669-2006). These durable and long-lasting cleanout products feature a gas-tight lid (mainly to contain odours) and a P4 non-slip top surface.
The P4 rating assigned to the R130SCRN (which ranges from P1 for low slip resistance to P5 for extremely high slip resistance) enhances safety within and around the stores.
Smart options for tiled floors
The SPS Basket Traps, Floor Wastes, and Cleanouts are designed for tile and topping surfaces.
SPS offers variable drain options with a reversible clamp collar, allowing the grate assembly to be precisely adjusted in height. This ensures a flush finish with the final surface, which is particularly beneficial for areas with varying levels due to tiling or screeding.
All SPS 100mm and 150mm outlet drains and cleanouts, featuring custom-developed O-rings, offer the added benefit of compatibility with PVC, HDPE, copper, and cast-iron pipes.
Metabronze and SPS have played a substantial role in supporting McDonald's new store construction and refurbishments across New Zealand by providing high-quality, functional, and visually appealing drainage solutions. The new store designs and layouts not only look fantastic, but will ensure hygiene, smooth operation and easy maintenance in the stores for years to come.
