Floors for Commercial Kitchens
Multiple professional kitchens use tile on their surfaces. But the latest style in West Sacramento is removing old tiles, uncovering the surface underneath, grinding it seamless, and applying epoxy coatings. However, a few people hesitate when considering epoxy coatings in professional kitchens. So, we would like to address common concerns about epoxied floors in kitchens.
Are Concrete Floors Too Rough?
Tile flooring is not recognized for being comfortable. Epoxy flooring, however, can be adjusted so that it has a feeling of give as you step on it. Whatever the type of coating used underneath, most restaurants and industrial-grade kitchens opt for rubber runners to soften the feet and legs.
Is Coated Concrete Easy to Sanitize?
Epoxy floors are seamless, so no food or bacteria can get stuck between cracks, seams, or grout lines. Microorganisms have very little to hold onto. Restaurant kitchen employees appreciate the ability to effortlessly wash the floors by hosing them down with water, then using a squeegee to send the water down the drain. By selecting the option of coved flooring, the bottom of your walls is simultaneously protected from spills and collisions. A quick mop with some water and disinfectant is all that’s needed to resolve spills and maintain cleanliness.
Isn’t Epoxy Too Slippery for Kitchens?
The clearcoat on any concrete surface can be customized to enhance the traction. Certainly, a high gloss concrete surface like you see in a retail store or office building may be slippery and unsafe when wet, but in kitchens we don’t lay down the same coats as we employ in locations that prioritize looks over traction. That doesn’t mean that your floor looks commercial or industrial or feels like it’s made with grit. The science behind epoxy sealers is far beyond that and provides us many beautiful methods of eliminating slick floors that are approved by skilled building designers.
