Many restaurants in Incline Village have concrete kitchen flooring surfaces. Some restaurateurs have decided to remodel their kitchens by pulling out their vinyl tiles or flooring to uncover the concrete and install epoxy topcoats instead. In fact, some owners choose kitchen epoxy flooring as their first choice in new builds. So, here is a list of common inquiries about epoxy topcoats in the kitchen as well as their answers.
Are Concrete Floors Too Hard?
The comparison between a concrete floor and other flooring forms uncovers very small differences when it comes to comfort in kitchens. Although comfortable, you are certainly not installing carpet in a kitchen! Vinyl may appear a little less demanding, but the difference is ultimately minimal, and durability is a problem. Cork is one of the best surfaces for comfort but has considerable issues with maintenance. Epoxy flooring, however, can be created with a feeling of give by using unique types of polyurethane and varying the height of the substance. If you use rubber mats in your kitchen anyway, the selection of coating ideally should be decided upon by other factors.
Is Coated Concrete Simple to Clean?
Epoxy flooring is seamless, so no food or bacteria can hide between cracks, seams, or grout lines. Microorganisms have little to hold onto. Restaurant kitchen employees enjoy the ability to easily rinse the flooring by hosing it down with water, then using a squeegee to send the water down the drain. By requesting the option of coved flooring, the bottom of your walls is additionally protected from stains and scuffs. A quick mopping with some water and cleaning solvent is all that’s necessary to clean up spills and maintain cleanliness.
Isn’t Epoxy Too Slippery for Kitchens?
Many people figure epoxy floors are exceptionally slippery when wet. A high gloss epoxy floor definitely has that characteristic, but that style of floor is for showrooms and retail stores, not for kitchens. Instead, your kitchen needs an epoxy floor that enhances safety with a no-slip finish, so that you and your staff can maintain a safe traction even if there’s an unexpected spill. And with coved flooring, you don’t have to be concerned about a spill causing harm by flowing under the wall.
