Many restaurants in Zephyr Cove have a concrete surface for their kitchen floors. Some restaurateurs have decided to renovate their kitchens by tearing out their vinyl tiles or flooring to expose the concrete and add epoxy topcoats instead. In fact, some new restaurant builds use epoxy flooring for their kitchens as the first option. However, some are still undecided on epoxy flooring for kitchens so, here’s a list of common questions about epoxy topcoats in the kitchen and their answers.
Are Concrete Floors Too Harsh?
Some are concerned that a concrete floor will be too hard on their joints and feet, perhaps resulting in distress while in place for the extended periods demanded during a restaurant shift. In fact, epoxy flooring can assist to lessen this circumstance. With Nevada Custom Coatings, you can select different levels of thickness and rigidness for your epoxy floor to help with bearing vibration and shock. With the right specifications during installation, your epoxy floor can be better and safer for your feet and joints than standard concrete or tile options.
Kitchen Clean Up
Epoxy floors are seamless, so no food or bacteria can get stuck between cracks, seams, or grout lines and microorganisms have next to nothing to clamp onto. Restaurant kitchen employees enjoy the ability to easily clean 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 floors, the base of your walls is also guarded from spills and scuffs. A quick cleaning with some water and cleaning solvent is all that’s necessary to pick up spills and preserve cleanliness.
Is Coated Concrete Too Slick?
It’s undeniable that shiny epoxy floors in retail stores and showrooms can be slippery when wet, but their flooring focuses on appearance, not functionality. That doesn’t hold true when you apply epoxy coatings to a kitchen floor. By adding texture or a no-slip finish to your epoxy coatings, your floor can have more traction than tile or vinyl. In fact, many business kitchens in restaurants use epoxy flooring because they offer stronger traction with the proper topcoat.
