Are Concrete Floors Too Hard?
The comparison between a concrete floor and other flooring kinds uncovers minimal differences when it comes to comfort in kitchens. Although comfortable, you are certainly not laying carpet in a kitchen! Vinyl may look slightly less demanding, but the disparity is ultimately minimal, and longevity is a problem. Cork is one of the best surfaces for comfort but has major issues with sanitation. Epoxy flooring however, can be designed with a feel of give by using unique types of polyurethane and altering the height of the substance. If you plan use rubber matting in your kitchen as well, the choice of coating should be determined by other factors.
Is Epoxy Flooring Simple to Clean?
Epoxy floors are seamless, so no food or bacteria can get trapped between seams, cracks, or grout lines. Microorganisms have very little to clamp onto. Restaurant kitchen employees love the ability to effortlessly wash the flooring by hosing them down with water, then use a squeegee to send the water down the drain. By requesting the option of coved flooring, the bottom of your walls is also defended from spills and dings. A quick mopping with some water and disinfectant is all that’s needed to clean up spills and preserve cleanliness.
Is Coated Concrete Too Slick?
Many people think epoxy flooring is extremely slick when wet. A high gloss epoxy floor definitely has that trait, but that style of floor is for retail stores and showrooms, not for kitchens. Instead, your kitchen must have an epoxy coating that enhances safety with a no-slip finish, so that you and your staff can keep a safe grip even if there’s an unexpected spill. And with coved flooring, you do not have to fear a spill causing damage by slipping under the wall.
