Commercial Kitchen Epoxy Flooring for Restaurants & Food Service

High-performance, anti-slip flooring systems engineered for hot, wet, and high-traffic environments. We design and install seamless epoxy, polyurethane cement (PU-cement), and polyaspartic systems for commercial kitchens, bakeries, commissaries, bars, breweries, and dish rooms across Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and Canada.

Why Kitchens Need Industrial-Grade Resin Flooring

Commercial kitchens face constant thermal shock, grease and acid exposure, impact from dropped utensils, and aggressive sanitation. Porous or jointed surfaces trap contaminants, increase slip risk, and break down quickly under cleaning regimens. A seamless, chemical-resistant system protects staff and supports consistent hygiene.

• Slip Hazards: Water, oils, and food create slick surfaces if texture is insufficient.
• Thermal Shock: Hot effluent and steam undermine conventional coatings.
• Chemical Exposure: Degreasers, sanitizers, and acids from food can damage many floors.
• Downtime Sensitivity: Kitchens must reopen fast—phased, fast-cure options are vital.
• Hygiene: Seamless floors with integral cove bases help prevent harborage points.

Systems We Specify

PU-Cement (Polyurethane Cement)

PU-cement is the workhorse for hot/wet areas and thermal shock. It withstands heat, aggressive cleaning, and heavy traffic. We use it in cook lines, dish pits, and brewery production zones. It can be finished with texture for high traction and topcoated to adjust sheen and cleanability.

100% Solids Epoxy Body Coats

For corridors and prep areas, epoxy provides high build and chemical resistance. Combined with quartz broadcast, we tune the traction for wet conditions while maintaining cleaning efficiency.

Polyaspartic & PU Topcoats

Fast-cure polyaspartics minimize downtime; PU topcoats add UV stability and abrasion resistance. We select based on temperature, cure windows, and desired finish.

Integral Cove Base

Forming a radius cove at wall-floor junctions eliminates crevices and protects walls from washdowns. This detail greatly improves cleanability.

Drainage, Slope & Repairs

We evaluate slope to drains and correct ponding. Crack repair, spall patching, and moisture mitigation are addressed prior to coating for long-term reliability.

Kitchen Zones & Recommended Builds

Cook Lines & Fry Stations

PU-cement body coat with quartz broadcast and high-traction finish; integral cove base; optional heat-resistant topcoat.

Prep Areas & Cold Storage

Epoxy or PU-cement depending on thermal exposure; medium traction; satin finish for easy cleaning.

Dish Pits & Pot Wash

Heavy broadcast for aggressive traction; high-build PU-cement; slope correction and robust drain detailing.

Server Stations & Corridors

Epoxy quartz with PU topcoat; micro-texture for safe travel while preserving cleanability.

Installation & Downtime Planning

1. Assessment & Scope: We map zones, heat/wet exposure, and cleaning protocols.
2. Surface Prep: Mechanical prep, crack/spall repair, drainage review.
3. System Build: PU-cement or epoxy body coats; integral cove; texture; topcoat.
4. Fast-Cure Options: Polyaspartic topcoats to reopen quickly.
5. Maintenance Plan: Cleaning methods and re-top schedule to preserve traction.

Case Study: High-Volume Hotel Kitchen

A 24/7 hotel operation required a thermal-shock-resistant system with aggressive traction in dish zones. We installed PU-cement with a full quartz broadcast and integral cove, plus polyaspartic topcoat in adjacent corridors for quick curing. Work was completed in phases over three nights, allowing breakfast service each morning. The facilities manager reported faster cleanup and fewer slip incidents during peak periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best floor for hot, wet kitchen zones?

PU-cement typically leads in thermal-shock resistance and durability. We may combine with epoxy in adjacent areas for cost efficiency.

Do you provide integral cove bases?

Yes. We install resin-based coves to form a continuous, cleanable radius that helps prevent water and food harborage.

How do you ensure slip resistance?

We select aggregate size and broadcast rates to meet traction targets for wet and greasy surfaces, then verify texture after cure.

How quickly can a kitchen reopen?

With fast-cure systems and staging, sections can often reopen within 24–48 hours. We will confirm timelines during scoping.

Can you work overnight or weekends?

Absolutely. We routinely plan night, weekend, or holiday work to minimize disruption for food service operations.
