Why Epoxy Flooring is Perfect for Restaurants

The kitchen is the heart of every home, and the same can be said for successful restaurants. When creating a food service operation, it is important to consider the skill of the people who staff the kitchen. However, it is equally important to consider the physical structure of the restaurant, literally from the ground up. Epoxy coatings can help create safe, clean, and attractive floors that are perfect in the kitchens and dining spaces of food service operations. Here are three reasons to consider epoxy floors for restaurants.

  1. Safety

 

Restaurant kitchen floors bear the brunt of food preparation. Graveled epoxy coatings can help improve the traction of kitchen surfaces even when food items or spilled liquids make their way to the floor.  As a result, epoxy coatings may reduce the likelihood of dangerous falls by making surfaces less slippery and prone to accidents.

 

  1. Cleanliness

 

Epoxy coatings provide a water resistant and antimicrobial protective surface to flooring that can help promote sanitary restaurant conditions. Because they are not porous, epoxy floors can be cleaned easily and thoroughly. They also inhibit the growth of dangerous mold and bacteria, which could lead to health problems for patrons and staff or contaminate other surfaces in the restaurant if left unchecked.

 

  1. Appearance

 

There are a variety of epoxy coating options available on the market today that can help create a flooring system that is both protective and individualized. Restaurant and kitchen floors can be customized according to a theme or desired restaurant aesthetic through different textures, colors, and patterns.

 

Epoxy floors help protect surface damage from extended wear and tear in kitchens and other high traffic areas. They usually require minimal additional maintenance costs over time and can be an affordable way to customize a restaurant. When it comes to restaurant flooring, epoxy coatings are the perfect option for a safe, sanitary, and attractive dining establishment.
