Professional Kitchen Flooring
Various commercial kitchens use tile on their floors. But the latest trend in Berkley is peeling off old tiles, uncovering the foundation underneath, grinding it perfectly, and adding epoxy coatings. Even so, a few people hesitate when considering epoxy coatings in commercial kitchens. So, we’d like to respond to some common worries about epoxied floors in kitchens.
Are Concrete Floors Too Rough?
Some are worried that a concrete floor will be too rough on their feet and joints, perhaps resulting in agitation while standing for the long periods demanded during a restaurant shift. In fact, epoxy flooring can assist in alleviating this circumstance. With West Coast Epoxy, you can choose different degrees of height and rigidity for your epoxy floor to help with tolerating impact and vibration. With the right specifications during installation, your epoxy floor can be safer and better for your feet and joints than plain tile or concrete choices.
Are Epoxy Floors Simple to Sanitize?
Epoxy flooring has no joints or seams, so there is no place for dirt, bacteria, hair, old food, or other contaminants to get stuck. There’s no grout to scrub and clean. Typically, all an epoxy floor needs for maintenance and cleaning is a mopping. In addition, adding coved flooring lengthens the strength of epoxy coats up the walls of your kitchen from a matter of inches to more than a foot, protecting your floors and walls from spills and nicks with delivery dollies and carts.
Isn’t Epoxy Too Slick for Kitchens?
The clearcoat on any concrete surface can be customized to increase the traction. Certainly, a high gloss concrete surface like you see in a retail store or office building may be slick and dangerous when wet, but in kitchens we do not apply the same topcoats as we employ in environments that prioritize aesthetics over traction. That doesn’t mean that your floor looks industrial or commercial or feels like it is made with grit. The science behind epoxy sealers is far beyond that and offers us many stunning methods of avoiding slick flooring that are approved by skilled building designers.
