Multiple commercial kitchens use tile on their surfaces. But a recent fashion in Fairfield is removing old tiles, uncovering the surface underneath, grinding it seamless, and installing epoxy coatings. Even so, a few people hesitate when considering epoxy topcoats in commercial kitchens. So, we’d like to answer some common questions about epoxied flooring in kitchens.
Hard Concrete Underfoot?
Tile floors are not recognized for being comfy. Epoxy coatings can be modified so that it has a sense of give as you step on it. No matter the type of flooring used underneath, most diners and industrial-grade kitchens select rubber runners to soften the feet and legs.
Are Epoxy Floors Simple to Maintain?
Epoxy floors are seamless, so no food or bacteria can get trapped between grout lines, cracks, or seams. Microorganisms have little to hold onto. Restaurant kitchen employees appreciate the ability to effortlessly clean the floors by hosing them down with water, then using a squeegee to send the water down the drain. By requesting the option of coved flooring, the base of your walls is simultaneously protected from spills and dents. A quick cleaning with some water and disinfectant is all that is needed to clean up spills and maintain sanitation.
Are Epoxy Floors Appropriate for Work?
Many people think epoxy flooring is very slick when wet. A high gloss epoxy floor certainly has that characteristic, but that type of floor is for retail stores and showrooms, not for kitchens. Instead, your kitchen requires an epoxy floor that enhances safety with a no-slip finish, so that you and your staff can keep a safe traction even if there’s an inadvertent spill. And with coved flooring, you don’t have to fear about a spill causing damage by slipping under the wall.
