Rough Concrete Underfoot?
The comparison between a concrete floor and other flooring forms reveals minimal differences regarding comfort in kitchens. You’re certainly not adding carpet in a kitchen! Vinyl may look slightly more forgiving, but the contrast is ultimately only slight, and longevity is an issue. Cork is one of the best flooring materials for comfort but has major challenges with maintenance. Epoxy coatings however, can be designed with a feel of give by using special kinds of polyurethane and altering the height of the material. If you use rubber runners in your kitchen anyway, the choice of flooring should be decided by other factors.
Are Epoxy Floors Simple to Clean?
Epoxy floors are seamless, so no food or bacteria can hide between cracks, seams, or grout lines. Microorganisms have next to nothing to clamp onto. Restaurant kitchen employees appreciate the ability to easily flush the floors by hosing them down with water, then using a squeegee to send the water down the drain. By adding the option of coved flooring, the bottom of your walls are additionally defended from spills and bumps. A quick mop with some water and floor cleaner is all that is required to pick up spills and maintain sanitation.
Isn’t Epoxy Too Slick for Kitchens?
The topcoat on any concrete floor can be adapted to boost 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 coats as we employ in environments that prioritize appearance over grip. That does not 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 attractive methods of avoiding slick flooring that are accepted by professional building designers.
