Are Epoxy Floors Good For Restaurants?

Epoxy Flooring Benefits in Commercial Spaces

Daily labor is one of the largest expenses for the restaurant industry. Restaurants with epoxy floors have the benefit of being much easier to clean than other traditional flooring options. Both in a dining room and a commercial kitchen space the flooring in a busy restaurant needs to be cleaned at least once per day. A smooth, stain resistant surface is often a much better flooring option for restaurants. Epoxy floors are an investment that pays off fairly quickly. When compared to typical restaurant flooring options epoxy floors are much more stain resistant. Removing stains from concrete or wood floors can be an extensive process and can coast restaurant owners time and labor. With Epoxy flooring many spills will be easily wiped up leaving no trace and require no commercial strength stain removers. While epoxy flooring does require sealing after several years of heavy use, they do not require the more intensive labor that comes with treated wood floors. Similarly, a concrete floor requires resealing and if left untreated are quite porous allowing them to soak up liquids, food residue, and other spills. Choosing epoxy for your restaurant and kitchen floors is often a great investment for restaurant owners and provides long term savings.

Slip Resistant Restaurant Flooring

In restaurants or other commercial spaces that can see regular spills and messes slip resistant flooring is highly encouraged for safety. There are different options to choose from when coating your epoxy floor with a slip resistant material. There are anti-slip additives that provide a texture to the surface of the flooring. These additives bond to the chemicals in the epoxy resin and don’t have a visual impact on the restaurant flooring. The down side to these additives is that they can make cleaning the floor more difficult since the surface of the flooring won’t be as smooth as a standard epoxy floor. There are additives that are mixed into the resin flooring that provide excellent slip resistance. There are very few downsides and the benefits are great for commercial restaurants. Epoxy flooring is smooth and glossy, and without any additives they are typically slippery when wet, especially with oil. By incorporating a slip resistant solution to your epoxy floors you lower the risk of injury or accidents occuring in the kitchen or on the restaurant dining floor.

Commercial Kitchen Floors

Commercial kitchen floors have specific criteria in order to be a functional surface, but some flooring options provide benefits that are helpful for kitchen staff. A kitchen floor should be simple to clean, stain resistant, slip resistant, and durable. A concrete floor that doesn’t have a sealant or proper coating can be more difficult to clean. Because epoxy flooring is extremely durable it’s a great option for kitchen flooring. An epoxy commercial kitchen flooring can last years without requiring specialized services or intense cleanings. A simple cleaning routine that would be a standard in commercial kitchens will keep an epoxy coating in excellent condition for years. Even kitchens that have high foot traffic will see the benefits of epoxy flooring. Standard slip resistant coatings across the surface of your epoxy kitchen flooring will provide enough stability to ensure your kitchen staff are safe throughout their shift. With simple cleaning techniques chemical spills, oils, and other spilled solutions can be easily cleaned. Maintaining kitchen floors is important to keeping a clean and well functioning restaurant kitchen and choosing an epoxy floor provides great benefits.

The Value of Epoxy Flooring

Concrete floors are a common flooring style in modern restaurants, but sometimes show their age easily, and if not maintained well can quickly become tarnished. Revitalizing the concrete floor in your restaurant can be done quickly and efficiently with a coating of epoxy. With an epoxy coat you get the benefits of a brand new flooring without the financial headache of doing a floor removal. Epoxy resin is able to be poured directly on your floor and is self-leveling to fix any problems with the existing surface. Epoxy is less likely to crack, chip, or soak up fluids causing long term stains to appear. We believe in our product and know the value epoxy flooring has for a commercial business.
