Flooring for Commercial Kitchens
Numerous industrial kitchens use tile on their floors. But a recent trend in Fair Oaks is stripping old tiles, exposing the surface underneath, grinding it perfect, and adding epoxy coatings. Even so, a few people hesitate when considering epoxy coatings in commercial kitchens. So, we would like to address common concerns about epoxy flooring in kitchens.
Harsh Concrete Underfoot?
Some believe that a concrete floor will be too hard on their joints and feet, perhaps causing discomfort while stationary for the prolonged periods demanded during a restaurant shift. In fact, epoxy floors can assist to lessen this circumstance. With West Coast Epoxy, you can decide different levels of height and hardness for your epoxy coat to assist with impact and vibration. With the proper specifications during application, your epoxy floor can be better and safer for your feet and joints than plain concrete or tile options.
Kitchen Maintenance
A professional color stained or epoxied concrete floor features a polyurethane sealer that is nearly just as durable as the sealers we apply on garage flooring and service areas with heavy traffic. Carts will not scrape it. Liquids cannot discolor it. Falling tools will not leave an impression. When it comes to strength, toughness and ease of maintenance, coated concrete often comes out on top.
Isn’t Epoxy Too Slippery for Kitchens?
The topcoat on any concrete floor can be adjusted to boost the traction. Certainly, a high gloss concrete surface like you see in an office building or retail store may be slippery and hazardous when wet, but in kitchens we don’t lay down the same coats as we employ in locations that prioritize aesthetics over friction. That doesn’t mean that your floor looks industrial or feels like it’s produced with grit. The science behind epoxy sealers is far beyond that and offers us many stunning methods of eliminating slippery floors that are accepted by professional building designers.
