Commercial Kitchen Floors
There are some worries about concrete flooring that we at West Coast Epoxy receive on a fairly regular basis. When a customer is thinking about using a color stained concrete foundation in a commercial kitchen, for example, they are typically equating it to what they might witness with a vinyl or tile surface. So here are some responses to these commonplace concerns about concrete flooring in commercial kitchens that we hear in the Stockton area.
Harsh Concrete Underfoot?
Tile flooring is not known for being comfortable. Epoxy flooring can be adjusted so that it has a feeling of give as you walk on it. No matter the type of flooring used underneath, most restaurants and professional kitchens opt for rubber mats to ease the legs and feet.
Are Epoxy Floors Simple to Clean?
A quality color stained or epoxied concrete base highlights a polyurethane sealer that is virtually just as protective as the sealers we use on garage floors and service areas with heavy traffic. Carts won’t scrape it. Liquids cannot discolor it. Falling utensils will not leave a dent. When it comes to resilience, toughness, and ease of maintenance, coated concrete usually comes out on top.
Are Epoxy Floors Appropriate for Work?
It’s true that shiny epoxy flooring in retail stores and showrooms can be slippery when wet, but their floors focus on aesthetics, not practicality. That does not hold true when you apply epoxy coatings to a kitchen surface. By adding roughness or a no-slip finish to your epoxy coatings, your floor can have more anti-slip than tile or vinyl. In fact, many commercial kitchens in restaurants use epoxy coatings because they offer longer lasting friction with the proper topcoat.
