Cementitious urethane and resin flooring systems that meet health authority requirements for food service environments. Seamless, chemical resistant, and engineered for the thermal extremes of commercial kitchens, car washes, breweries, and food processing facilities.
Commercial kitchen floors face conditions that destroy standard epoxy within a season. Rapid temperature cycling between boiling water and walk-in freezers. Concentrated food acids and alkali cleaning chemicals. Constant wet conditions. Steam cleaning at high pressure. This is called thermal shock — and standard epoxy cannot handle it.
When hot water contacts an epoxy floor and the temperature drops rapidly during refrigeration cycles, the thermal expansion differential causes the coating to crack and delaminate. The floor fails. The client calls you to fix it at your cost. That's a scenario we prevent by specifying the right system the first time.
The correct system for commercial kitchens, car washes, and any environment with thermal cycling is cementitious urethane (PUCEM) — rated from -120°F to +220°F. The only resin flooring that genuinely handles those conditions long-term.
Different zones within a food service facility have different requirements. We specify the right system for each area.
The definitive system for commercial kitchens, car washes, breweries, and food processing. A polymer-modified cement-based system applied at 1/4" (6mm) thick — thermally stable from -120°F to +220°F, chemical resistant to food acids, alkalis, grease, and steam cleaning chemicals. Bonds to damp concrete. FDA-compliant. Seamless and non-porous. Double broadcast system with anti-slip aggregate is standard for sloped floors draining to floor drains. Fast pot life — crew installation required. The only system that genuinely survives the full thermal cycling range of a commercial kitchen environment.
For dining areas, retail floors, lobbies, and service areas not subject to the thermal extremes of the kitchen, a high-build epoxy system or polished concrete finish is appropriate. Epoxy provides design flexibility — seamless, easy to clean, available in colours that match your brand aesthetic. Polished concrete delivers an upscale, natural look with zero ongoing coating maintenance. Both systems include anti-slip additives as standard.
For car wash bays and high-moisture wet environments, we use a multi-layer hybrid system: moisture vapor barrier (MVB), polyurea body coats with double broadcast aggregate for pitch maintenance on sloped floors, polyaspartic intermediate coat, and polyurethane topcoat. The double broadcast system is critical on sloped floors — it maintains the pitch to the drain so water keeps flowing properly. A 6-layer system that is built to outlast the previous coating that failed.
Breweries and food manufacturing require the full PUCEM system on floors plus coved bases at wall junctions — eliminating the right-angle join between floor and wall where bacteria and moisture accumulate. The coved base is integrated into the floor system for a fully seamless, cleanable surface that satisfies health authority inspection requirements. Meets HACCP requirements for food processing environments.
We work with restaurant groups, hotel operators, food manufacturers, and commercial developers to specify the right system for every environment.
