Commercial Kitchen Epoxy Floor Coatings for Restaurants & Bars
Commercial kitchens are some of the harshest environments a floor can face. Constant foot traffic, grease, spills, hot equipment, temperature swings, and aggressive cleaning all take a toll on bare concrete. On top of that, floors must meet health code standards and remain safe for staff working long shifts.
That Epoxy Guy installs professional commercial kitchen epoxy flooring systems designed specifically for restaurants, bars, and food-service environments. Our systems are built for sanitation, safety, and long-term performance, not quick cosmetic fixes.
Common flooring problems in restaurants and kitchens
Most restaurant owners call us after dealing with the same issues for years.
We regularly solve:
-
- Slippery floors caused by grease and moisture
- Cracked or deteriorating concrete that traps dirt and bacteria
- Floors that absorb odors and stains
- Surfaces that are difficult to clean or fail inspections
- Worn floors that make kitchens look unprofessional
A properly coated kitchen floor improves safety, cleanliness, and daily efficiency.
Why epoxy flooring works in commercial kitchens
Kitchen floors require more than durability. They need to support sanitation, safety, and compliance.
Our epoxy flooring systems provide:
-
- Seamless, non-porous surfaces that don’t absorb spills or odors
- Slip-resistant textures to reduce fall risks
- Resistance to grease, oils, food acids, and cleaning chemicals
- Easy-to-clean surfaces that support daily washdowns
- A professional, clean appearance
Epoxy flooring turns the floor from a liability into a functional part of the operation.
Installation planned around your operation
We understand that restaurants can’t shut down for long periods.
We work with owners to:
-
- Schedule installations around closures or slow periods
- Phase work when possible
- Balance cure time with long-term performance
Our goal is minimal disruption and maximum value.
A better kitchen floor supports a better business
A clean, durable floor improves:
-
- Staff safety and comfort
- Daily cleaning efficiency
- Inspection readiness
- Overall professionalism
In food-service environments, the floor is part of the operation, not just the background.
Our epoxy floor systems for food services
SimFlake SB for bars and dining areas
For bars, dining rooms, and front-of-house spaces, we install SimFlake SB from Simiron. This system delivers a durable, decorative finish that holds up to foot traffic while maintaining a clean, professional look.
It’s ideal for:
-
- Bars and cocktail areas
- Dining rooms
- Customer-facing spaces
- Restrooms and hallways
The flake finish helps hide wear and keeps the space looking clean between maintenance cycles.
SimFlake SF for commercial kitchens
For back-of-house environments, SimFlake SF is designed to handle the demands of active kitchens. It provides increased slip resistance, chemical durability, and a seamless surface that supports sanitation standards.
It’s best suited for:
-
- Commercial kitchens
- Food prep areas
- Dishwashing stations
- Walk-in coolers and service corridors
This system is built to handle grease, moisture, temperature changes, and constant movement.
Epoxy vs polyurea in food-service environments
You’ll often hear claims that polyurea or polyaspartic coatings are “better than epoxy.” In reality, performance in kitchens depends on system design, not marketing terms.
Industrial epoxy plays a critical role in commercial kitchens because it:
-
- Bonds extremely well to properly prepared concrete
- Creates a stable, sanitary base layer
- Provides long-term durability under constant washdowns
Polyurea or polyaspartic materials may be used as topcoats when faster return to service is needed, but relying on them alone doesn’t always provide the best foundation for kitchens exposed to moisture and chemicals.
Our approach uses each material where it performs best.
Safety and slip resistance where it matters most
Slips and falls are a major concern in kitchens. We address this without creating floors that are difficult to clean.
Our systems can include:
-
- Slip-resistant and non-skid textures
- Finishes designed to maintain traction when wet
- Seamless surfaces that don’t trap food or debris
This balance improves safety without increasing daily cleaning time.
Designed for inspections, not just appearance
Health inspections don’t care how fast a floor was installed. They care about cleanliness, condition, and sanitation.
Our kitchen flooring systems help with:
-
- Maintaining a non-porous, cleanable surface
- Eliminating grout lines and seams
- Reducing bacteria and odor absorption
- Presenting a professional, compliant workspace
It’s a floor inspectors, staff, and owners can all live with.
