Floors for Commercial Kitchens
Plentiful industrial kitchens use tile on their surfaces. But the latest fashion in Danville is removing old tiles, exposing the concrete underneath, grinding it faultless, and adding epoxy coatings. Yet, a few people hesitate when considering epoxy coats in commercial kitchens. So, we’d like to respond to some common questions about epoxied flooring in kitchens.
Hard Concrete Underfoot?
Tile floors are not recognized for being comfortable. Epoxy flooring can be adapted so that it has a sense of give as you walk on it. No matter the type of coating used underneath, most restaurants and professional kitchens opt for rubber runners to soften the impact on the legs and feet.
Kitchen Clean Up
Epoxy flooring is seamless, so no food or bacteria can get trapped between cracks, seams, or grout lines. Microorganisms have little to hang onto. Restaurant kitchen employees appreciate the ability to simply flush the flooring by hosing it down with water, then using a squeegee to send the water down the drain. By selecting the option of coved floors, the bottom of your walls is also defended from spills and dents. A quick mopping with some water and cleaning solution is all that is needed to pick up spills and maintain cleanliness.
Are Epoxy Floors Appropriate for Work?
The topcoat on any concrete floor can be modified to boost traction. Certainly, a high gloss concrete floor like you see in a retail store or office building may be slippery and treacherous when wet, but in kitchens we don’t lay down the same coatings as we use in locations that prioritize appearance over traction. That doesn’t mean that your floor looks industrial or feels like it’s produced with grit. The science behind epoxy sealants is far beyond that and provides us many beautiful methods of escaping slippery flooring that are approved by professional building designers.
