Commercial · Lakeland, FL
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring has to handle hot water, grease, rolling loads, and daily chemical cleaning without peeling or becoming slick. Elite Epoxy Lakeland installs and repairs seamless, NSF-friendly resin floors for kitchens and dish rooms in Lakeland, with safe transitions, clean drains, and fast return-to-service planning.
Prep is what makes a kitchen floor last. We start by checking moisture vapor (ASTM F2170 relative humidity testing when needed), slab flatness, existing coatings, and any soft or oil-soaked concrete. Our crew removes failed epoxy, urethane, VCT adhesive, and grease-contaminated layers with HEPA-controlled diamond grinding and shot blasting, then degreases and rinses until the surface is clean and profiled (ICRI CSP 3-5 for most systems). Cracks and control joints are routed, cleaned, and repaired with epoxy gel or polyurea, spalls are rebuilt with polymer-modified mortar, and the slab is locked down with a penetrating or moisture-mitigating primer before the build coats go on.
Florida heat and humidity can push moisture through concrete and shorten the life of a coating that is not specified correctly. For cook lines, dish areas, walk-ins, and mop sink zones, we commonly recommend urethane cement (3/16-1/4 inch) because it resists thermal shock, steam, and organic acids better than standard epoxy. Where a true epoxy system fits, we install high-build 100% solids epoxy with a broadcast aggregate and a chemical-resistant urethane or polyaspartic topcoat for stain resistance and easier nightly cleanup. Finish options include quartz broadcast, aluminum oxide traction, and cove base (typically 4-6 inches) to eliminate grout lines, reduce harbor points, and improve slip resistance in wet traffic lanes.
Lakeland operators choose us because we plan around service hours and we do the work that inspectors and maintenance teams look for. You get clear system specs, coat thickness targets, and written cure windows so your reopening is predictable. Our installs focus on details that prevent call-backs, tight terminations at stainless equipment legs, clean cuts around trench drains, proper slope corrections where feasible, and non-slip texture that still scrubs down without trapping grime. We are licensed and insured, and we provide straightforward recommendations when a repair, resurfacing, or full removal is the smartest long-term move.
At closeout, we walk the space with your manager and maintenance lead and confirm coverage, texture, cove transitions, and drain edges, then review cleaning and chemical compatibility so the floor stays compliant and easy to maintain. You receive a written scope, product data sheets on the installed system, and guidance on approved degreasers, scrubber pads, and recoat intervals. If you called us for repair, we locate the failure cause (moisture, contamination, impact, or improper prep) and fix the substrate first so the patch does not telegraph or lift. The result is a seamless commercial kitchen epoxy flooring system designed for traction, sanitation, and long service life under daily abuse.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that outlines prep, coating layers, finish, and expected downtime.
Sometimes. We evaluate the existing coating, test adhesion, and typically grind to a sound layer or remove failed material. If the old coating is peeling or soft, it needs removal and proper profiling.
Common options include solid color epoxy, full or partial flake broadcast, quartz systems, and metallic epoxy for decorative interiors. Topcoats can be polyaspartic or polyurethane, with optional traction additives.
Glossy finishes can be slick with water or oils. We can add aluminum oxide or polymer grit, adjust texture, and recommend the right finish for garages, pool decks, and commercial areas.
Typical causes include moisture vapor pressure, contaminated concrete (oil, silicone, curing compounds), insufficient surface profile, or coating outside the recoat window. Proper testing, grinding, and product selection prevent most failures.
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring is not the same as a decorative garage coating. In restaurants, commissaries, schools, breweries, and institutional kitchens, the floor has to handle grease, boiling water, rolling racks, sanitizer, and constant scrubbing without cracking, softening, or becoming dangerously slick. Elite Epoxy Lakeland installs and repairs seamless resin flooring systems built for food-service environments, with proper concrete prep, sanitary transitions, and realistic cure schedules to support your reopening plan.
Most kitchen floor failures start below the coating. Moisture vapor transmission, oil contamination, and weak concrete can cause blistering, delamination, and staining even when the topcoat looks fine on day one. Our process begins with inspection and testing, then mechanical profiling using diamond grinders and shot blasters with dust control. We detail edges, clean and rebuild joints, and prime correctly so the system bonds to sound, properly prepared concrete instead of to residue or compromised layers.
For heavy-duty zones like cook lines and dish rooms, urethane cement is often the right choice because it tolerates temperature swings and harsh washdowns better than standard epoxy. For dry prep areas and storage, high-build epoxy with a broadcast aggregate and a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat can provide excellent abrasion resistance and stain protection. We also address practical details that matter in the real world, cove-to-floor transitions, drain terminations, toe-kick areas, and texture selection that balances traction with cleanability.
If you need commercial kitchen epoxy flooring repair, we match the system to the environment and correct the underlying cause, not just the visible chip or peel. After installation or repair, we provide a clear cure timeline, cleaning guidance, and documentation on the installed products.
