Quick Takeaways
- You need slip-resistant, seamless protection: Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings provide safe footing in wet, greasy, or high-traffic conditions, far outperforming traditional epoxy, vinyl plank, or tile floors.
- They must be sanitary and easy to clean: These non-porous coatings resist bacteria, stains, and chemicals, creating a hygienic surface that’s effortless to clean and maintain. Tile can collect dirt in grout; vinyl plan can get moisture beneath, leading to mold growth; and bare concrete can collect stains and blemishes.
- Beat down-time with fast cure times, minimal downtime: We install commercial kitchen flooring that cures in as little as 24–48 hours, getting your restaurant or facility back to full operation quickly.
Commercial kitchens are some of the toughest environments for any flooring system.
Between rolling carts, plenty of spills, tons of foot traffic, and constant mopping, every surface endures punishing conditions day after day. A properly installed commercial kitchen floor needs to be able to handle hot grease, heavy foot traffic, and constant moisture while staying slip resistant and easy to clean.
The right commercial kitchen flooring not only affects durability and appearance, it directly impacts safety, sanitation, and how quickly your restaurant or commercial kitchen space can get back to business after cleaning or maintenance.
We install polyaspartic floors for commercial kitchens regularly. They’re one of the best flooring options for industrial kitchens for a few reasons, and if you’ve got concrete flooring or are putting in a new space, they should absolutely be a consideration for your improved space.
Some Key Requirements for Commercial Kitchen Flooring
Let’s look at what makes commercial kitchen floors a little different than the rest, and how our polyaspartic coatings are great for concrete flooring in kitchens.
Slip Resistance
Slip resistance is one of the most important safety features in a restaurant kitchen. Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings can be customized with quartz or textured additives to provide safe footing even on wet, greasy surfaces.
These non-slip flooring systems exceed OSHA slip standards and outperform vinyl flooring or rubber mats that lose traction over time. The goal is to provide safe footing and long-lasting slip resistant performance that protects both employees and customers.
Sanitation and Hygiene
Cleanliness is non-negotiable in a food prep environment. Our seamless, non-porous surfaces eliminate the grout lines and cracks that harbor bacteria, mold, and dirt found in ceramic tile flooring or stone tiles.
Polyurea base coats and polyaspartic coatings meet USDA and FDA flooring requirements for commercial kitchen flooring, meaning a hygienic surface that’s resistant to spills, moisture, and cleaning chemicals.
These non-porous surfaces are designed to withstand temperature extremes and frequent wash-downs, too, without wear or deterioration.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
Our coatings are smooth, durable, and stain resistant, built for easy cleaning and low maintenance.
Unlike epoxy resin or epoxy paint floors that can dull or peel, polyurea and polyaspartic systems remain glossy and easy to maintain over time. We’re talking years, even decades.
Restaurant kitchen staff can clean and maintain these surfaces quickly with little more than a mop because grease, dirt, and chemicals won’t penetrate the coating, making them ideal for busy kitchens that require daily deep cleaning and fast turnaround times.
With a drain in the floor, you can also just spray the space down and squeegee the water down the drain!
Heat and Chemical Resistance
Commercial kitchen floors face intense heat and even harsh cleaning solutions.
Polyurea and polyaspartic systems provide exceptional heat resistance and chemical resistance, handling everything from boiling water to degreasers without breaking down. These coatings withstand thermal shocks and temperature extremes far better than vinyl flooring, wood, or epoxy systems, which often require frequent repairs. And, water can’t get underneath!
Fast Cure Times and Minimal Downtime
Every day a restaurant stays closed for maintenance costs revenue. Polyurea base coats and polyaspartic topcoats cure within hours, not weeks, meaning your kitchen can reopen quickly. This easy installation process allows us to provide a hard-wearing, highly durable surface that’s ready for use in as little as 24-48 hours.
Minimal downtime, maximum productivity.
Why Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings Outperform Epoxy and Tile
Traditional epoxy flooring systems and ceramic tiles have their place, but they can’t match the performance or longevity of polyurea and polyaspartic coatings.
Epoxy resin floors WILL turn yellow under UV exposure, crack in cold temperatures, and take too long to cure.
Ceramic tiles and stone tiles may look polished but they crack, stain, and collect bacteria in grout lines.
Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings create a seamless, non-porous, slip resistant surface that withstands heavy wear and constant cleaning. We use Duralast products for a commercial-grade flooring system that’s durable, hygienic, and built to last.
