Our flooring options are durable and designed to withstand the hustle of a commercial kitchen.
In a high-demand food service environment, your floors are just as important as your equipment. At Floor Coating Source, we work with designers and architects to ensure the right flooring system is used in a commercial kitchen. We offer commercial kitchen flooring products throughout Florida that holds up under heavy foot traffic, high temperatures, and constant spills. Our flooring systems are designed to meet strict industry standards and keep up with the nonstop pace of the kitchen.
Key Functions:
Commercial kitchens are high-performance cooking environments designed to handle large-scale food preparation, typically for restaurants, hotels, catering operations, institutions, or food production facilities. These spaces must be efficient, sanitary, durable, and safe to meet health regulations and operate at high speed under pressure.
Delivery/Receiving:
A back-of-house area where products go in and out of the facility.
Storage/Inventory:
-
For storing ingredients before use.
Food Preparation:
Where fresh raw ingredients are prepared.
Cooking:
Extreme temperatures and heavy foot traffic occur.
Service:
Heavy foot traffic by staff also occurs here.
Dish Return:
Dedicated space where used plates, utensils, and glasses are collected after service.
Cleaning/Sanitation:
Separate from food preparation zones to avoid cross-contamination but just as important as the other areas in the kitchen.
Flooring Requirements:
A commercial kitchen’s flooring is truly its foundation – the first line of defense against hazards and a major factor in long-term sanitation and safety.
Hygiene Support:
Preventing bacteria and mold growth is the single most important consideration. Seamless, non-porous surfaces are preferred as they eliminate crevices where food particles and liquids can get trapped.
Easy to Clean:
The flooring should be easy to clean and sanitize regularly to maintain a clean and sanitary environment. Non-porous materials like epoxy don’t absorb liquids, making cleaning fast and easy.
Compliance with Health Codes:
Commercial kitchen flooring must meet health and safety regulations set by local authorities to avoid violations.
Slip Resistance:
Kitchen floors must provide excellent slip resistance to prevent accidents due to common spills of liquids like water and oil. These floors should ideally have a high coefficient of friction, meeting standards such as OSHA’s recommendations.
Durability:
The floor needs to be durable enough to handle heavy foot traffic, equipment weight, and spills without degradation.
Resistance:
These floors must resist harsh cleaning chemicals and acids, as well as tolerate moisture from cooking and cleaning. They should also withstand high temperatures from cooking processes and equipment.
Grease, water, and food debris can quickly break down traditional flooring and become hazards in a working kitchen. That’s why our commercial kitchen flooring solutions prioritize slip resistance, ease of cleaning, and resistance to moisture and chemicals. We recommend durable materials, such as urethane cement with or without a decorative component, that prevent bacterial growth and make sanitization fast and efficient. Our commercial kitchen flooring is ideal for restaurants, cafeterias, food processing areas, and even institutional kitchens.
Our team understands that every kitchen is different, so we customize our coatings based on your space, workflow, and safety needs. Whether you’re upgrading an existing floor or starting from scratch, we can help you choose the right option to meet health codes and reduce maintenance over time. Plus, some of our applications offer a quick installation process which minimizes downtime so your kitchen can stay focused on what matters: serving guests.
Commercial kitchens get more than just a floor; they get a reliable, long-lasting foundation built to perform under pressure. No matter the size or scope of your kitchen, we’re sure we can help you find the right flooring option to match your business’s needs.
