Many diners in Davis have a concrete surface for their kitchen flooring. Some owners have decided to remodel their kitchens by pulling out their vinyl tiles or flooring to uncover the concrete and apply epoxy coats instead. New restaurant constructions that are being framed or remodeled use epoxy flooring for their kitchens as the first option. So, here’s a list of ordinary questions about epoxy coats in the kitchen as well as their answers.
Are Concrete Floors Too Hard?
The comparison between a concrete floor and other flooring types reveals only slight differences regarding comfort in kitchens. You are certainly not adding carpet in a kitchen! Vinyl may appear slightly less demanding, but the disparity is ultimately minimal, and longevity is an issue. Cork is one of the perfect surfaces for comfort but has significant challenges with maintenance. Epoxy flooring can be laid with a sense of give by using special kinds of polyurethane and altering the height of the material. If you use rubber runners in your kitchen anyway, the option of flooring ought to be decided upon by other factors.
Kitchen Cleaning
Epoxy floors have no cracks or joints, so there’s no place for bacteria, dirt, hair, old food, or other contaminants to get stuck. There is no grout to scrub and scour. Typically, all epoxy flooring needs for cleaning and maintenance is a mop cleaning. Adding coved flooring lengthens the endurance of epoxy topcoats up the walls of your kitchen from a matter of inches to more than a foot, protecting your walls and floors from spills and scrapes with delivery dollies and carts.
Is Coated Concrete Too Slick?
It is factual that shiny epoxy floors in retail stores and showrooms can be slippery when wet, but their flooring focuses on appearance, not practicality. That doesn’t hold true when you apply epoxy coatings to a kitchen surface. By adding textures or a no-slip finish to your epoxy coatings, your floor can have more anti-slip than ceramic tile or vinyl. In fact, many professional kitchens in restaurants use epoxy flooring because they offer stronger grip with the proper topcoat.
