Many facility operators ask us about urethane concrete versus “food-grade epoxy” flooring. Surfaces coated with an epoxy finish can have seams and grout lines that can harbor bacteria and foodborne illnesses and may not withstand the impact of heavy equipment and machinery. Additionally, frequent cleaning with harsh chemicals can damage their appearance.

No matter what type of food or beverage facility you operate, you understand how critical it is to have safe, slip-resistant, and durable flooring. In addition to workplace falls, food service operators must also consider food safety guidelines. That’s why we recommend urethane concrete flooring.

A food-safe alternative to food-grade epoxy

Luckily, there’s a longer-lasting, food-safe flooring option. We ensure your urethane concrete flooring meets all OSHA, USDA, and FDA guidelines and provides a seamless, protective, hygienic coating that resists contamination from food, blood, grease, oil, and acidic substances. The texture helps prevent slips, trips, and falls, and a topcoat containing coarse particles can provide additional slip resistance.
