Rough Concrete Underfoot?

Vinyl may seem a little more forgiving, but the disparity is ultimately only slight, and endurance is a challenge.

However, resilient epoxy coatings can be designed with a feel of give by using special kinds of polyurethane and varying the depth of the material. If you use rubber runners in your kitchen anyway, the selection of flooring ought to be decided by other factors.
Kitchen Clean up
Epoxy flooring is seamless, so no food or bacteria can get stuck between cracks, seams, or grout lines. Microorganisms have little to latch onto. Restaurant kitchen employees enjoy the ability to simply wash 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 floors, the base of your walls are additionally guarded from spills and collisions. A quick mop with some water and a cleaning agent is all that’s necessary to pick up spills and keep the area sanitized.

The topcoat on any concrete floor can be adapted to improve the traction. Certainly, a high gloss concrete floor like you see in a retail store or office building may be slippery and dangerous when wet, but in kitchens we don’t lay down the same coatings as we use in areas that prioritize appearance over grip. That doesn’t mean that your floor looks commercial or industrial or feels like it is made with grit. The science behind epoxy sealers is far beyond that and provides us with many beautiful methods of escaping slick flooring that are approved by professional building designers.
