Hygienic & Safe
Safety is a top concern in any commercial facility — both for employees and customers. Commercial kitchen flooring epoxy in Raleigh delivers with a hygienic, USDA-compliant surface that won’t harbor bacteria or pathogens that can harm the health of your customers and workers. Ulike grouted or tiled floor systems, commercial epoxy does not have any seams, creases, or porous areas where food particles, liquids, bacteria, and mold can hide and flourish. A seamless, integral floor-to-wall cove base completely eliminates hiding areas for a safe, attractive floor.
- Seamless and nonporous
- USDA-approved and easy to sanitize
- Skid-resistant for employee safety
Easy to Clean
With any commercial flooring system, it’s important to have a floor system that’s easy to clean and maintain. This is most important when it comes to a commercial kitchen environment where cooking oils, water, and other liquids or food particles can create slip-and-fall hazards and potential sanitary concerns. Commercial epoxy flooring in Raleigh is one of the most easy-to-clean surfaces you can choose for your kitchen when a skid-resistant texture that doesn’t impact maintenance. The floor can be easily cleaned with a mop and bucket, pressure washer, steam cleaner, or automatic scrubbing system.
- Can be pressure washed or steamed
- Slip-resistant texture isn’t too profiled for cleaning
- Doesn’t require specialized cleaning products
Resists Chemicals & Abrasion
Commercial kitchen flooring needs to withstand all types of chemical exposure over a range of temperatures. Broilers, fryers, and ovens can splatter hot grease and oil onto the floor while pots can allow boiling liquids to spill over. Ingredients like sugar and salt can work like abrasives on the floor as they are ground in by foot traffic. Commercial kitchen floors also face hazards from solvents, detergents, and degreasers that are scrubbed into the surface. You can count on a commercial kitchen epoxy floor in Raleigh to hold up against all types of chemical exposure and abrasion.
- Resists damage from hot oil, grease, and chemicals
- Won’t be damaged by abrasive dry ingredients
- Withstands solvents, detergents, and cleaners
Moisture Resistant
Your commercial kitchen environment faces moisture from three sources: spills from cooking and cleaning; humidity generated by cooking, cleaning and dishwashing; and moisture vapor transmission (MVT) from the ground or the concrete slab. Moisture from any source can cause deterioration of the concrete substrate and the concrete coating. The right commercial kitchen floor in Raleigh is resistant to damage from moisture and helps mitigate moisture vapor transmission.
- Epoxy is nonporous and resists moisture damage
- Commercial epoxy stops moisture vapor transmission
- Seamless surface makes spill cleanup easy
Resists Thermal Shock
Commercial kitchen floors face a range of temperatures including the cold of walk-in coolers and freezers and the heat of cooking areas, steam cleaning, dishwashing stations, and more. Extreme temperature changes can cause contraction and expansion of the concrete itself as well as the concrete coating system. When the concrete and coating react differently to temperatures, it can cause the coating to shear off or delaminate. Commercial epoxy flooring is a smart investment as it offers excellent thermal shock resistance to expand and contract at a similar rate to the concrete itself.
- Won’t delaminate in the face of temperature changes
- Withstands the extreme heat of cooking and steam cleaning
- Resists freezing damage from coolers and freezers

How it stacks up against other kitchen floors
You have many options when choosing a commercial kitchen flooring system, but few offer the durability, longevity, and easy maintenance of commercial epoxy. Here’s a quick look at how commercial epoxy resin compares and why it’s one of the best floor systems for a commercial kitchen.
- Ceramic tile has porous grout and grooves that can harbor mold and bacteria. The surface is also prone to damage from dropped objects.
- Commercial vinyl flooring is cost-effective but won’t last long and can be damaged by many chemicals and steam cleaning.
- Brick and natural stone are very expensive and only used in areas where the kitchen is publicly visible and part of the restaurant’s ambiance — although epoxy can also be customized and highly decorative.
- Slab concrete is affordable but highly porous and must be sealed frequently. It’s also prone to stains and requires rubber mats for comfort for employees.
