Frequently Asked Questions About commercial kitchen flooring
Why is epoxy flooring ideal for commercial kitchens?
Epoxy flooring is the preferred choice for commercial kitchens because it provides a seamless, non-porous surface. This design prevents the accumulation of dirt and bacteria, offers excellent resistance to grease and chemical spills, and withstands the high temperatures and heavy traffic common in food service environments.
Can epoxy be installed over existing kitchen tile?
Yes. HPS Floors can apply epoxy over old tile by removing the baked-on glaze to expose the clay base. This process ensures the thermal expansion coefficient matches the concrete, creating a strong bond that “welds” the materials together and eliminates the need to maintain porous mortar joints.
How does the system ensure staff safety in wet conditions?
Safety is a priority in busy kitchens. The commercial kitchen floor system incorporates a broadcast aggregate during the slurry phase. This creates a durable, slip-resistant texture that helps protect staff from accidents even when the floor is wet or greasy.
How long does a typical kitchen floor installation take?
HPS Flooring typically completes an average-sized kitchen installation in approximately three days. Their team works flexible hours to accommodate the production needs and schedules of their clients, minimizing operational downtime.
What are the maintenance requirements for these floors?
Because the surface is seamless and non-porous, maintenance is minimal. Daily cleaning is fast and efficient, requiring only regular sweeping and damp-mopping with appropriate cleaning agents. The resin is specifically designed to resist the harsh cleansers used to meet strict health and sanitation regulations.
