Commercial kitchen flooring in Hutto, TX

What a commercial kitchen floor goes through

A restaurant kitchen floor gets grease from the fryers, water from the dish pit, dropped food, cleaning chemicals and hundreds of trips a day between the line and the walk-in. Grout lines and worn concrete trap grime and are hard to keep clean.

Slips are the bigger worry. A wet, greasy floor is a real hazard for staff carrying hot pans and knives, so traction and cleanability matter as much as durability. Old quarry tile and sealed concrete also tend to crack and loosen over time, leaving gaps where water and food waste collect.

Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring vs. polyaspartic

Epoxy is often suggested for kitchens, but it needs several days to cure and can chip under carts and dropped equipment. For a restaurant, days without service add up quickly.

Our polyaspartic system cures fast and creates a seamless surface that is highly resistant to chemicals, stains and abrasion. It can be customized for anti-microbial requirements. Our post on polyaspartic flooring for commercial kitchens goes deeper.

• Seamless surface with no grout lines to trap grime
• Non-porous, so liquids don't soak in
• Slip-resistant textures for wet and greasy areas
• Resists cleaning chemicals, stains and hot water
• Low-VOC formulations, safe for interior use

Scheduling around service

We diamond grind the concrete first so the coating bonds, repairing minor cracks and stains in prep. Then come the polyurea base coat, an optional flake broadcast and the polyaspartic topcoat. Coating concrete that is in good shape is far cheaper than tearing out and replacing a damaged kitchen floor, and most concrete repairs cost up to three times the price of coating. Equipment needs to be moved out of the work area, and we'll go over that with you ahead of time. Low-VOC formulations mean the coating is safe for interior use.

A small kitchen can often be done in a day, which may mean a single closed day or an overnight install. For larger kitchens or food production spaces we'll plan the schedule with you, around your slowest days. See how it works on our process page.

Colors and warranty

Lighter colors make it easy to see when a floor needs cleaning, while flake blends like Pebble Beach or Ice Cap hide everyday wear. You can browse options on our color choices page. Commercial floors carry a 5-year warranty from Heritage.

Beyond the kitchen line

Restaurants and food businesses have more than one hard-working floor. Dry storage, back hallways, loading areas and break rooms take a beating too, and the same system works in each. We can look at every area in one free visit and plan the work so you're closed as little as possible.

If you run food storage or a distribution space, our warehouse floor coating page covers pallet jack traffic. Cafeterias in schools and daycares are covered on our school floor coating page, and clinics with break kitchens can read about healthcare floor coating.
