There are some worries about concrete floors that we at California Custom Coatings respond to on a fairly regular basis. When a client is considering using a tint-stained concrete foundation in a professional kitchen, for example, they are typically comparing it to what they may encounter with a vinyl or tile floor. So here are some answers to these ordinary questions about concrete flooring in industrial kitchens that we hear in the Roseville area.
Are Concrete Floors Too Hard?
Tile floors are not known for being comfortable. Epoxy flooring, however, can be adapted so that it has a feel of give as you step on it. No matter the type of flooring used underneath, most restaurants and industrial-grade kitchens choose rubber runners to cushion the feet and legs.
Is Epoxy Flooring Simple to Sanitize?
A high-grade color stained or epoxied concrete floor highlights a polyurethane sealer that is essentially just as protective as the sealers we implement on garage flooring and service areas with heavy traffic. Carts won’t scrape it. Liquids can’t stain it. Falling tools will not leave a dent. When it comes to strength, durability and ease of maintenance, coated concrete ordinarily comes out on top.
Isn’t Epoxy Too Slick for Kitchens?
It’s undeniable that shiny epoxy floors in showrooms and retail stores can be slippery when wet, but their floors focus on aesthetics, not functionality. That does not hold true when you implement epoxy coatings for a kitchen surface. By adding textures or a no-slip finish to your epoxy topcoats, your surface can have more grip than tile or vinyl. In fact, many commercial or industrial kitchens in restaurants use epoxy flooring because they offer tougher traction with the proper topcoat.
