Food service facilities have certain special requirements for flooring installations. Factors such as wet settings and extreme temperatures can damage a facility’s floors over time without sufficient protection in place. However, you can avoid these problems through the installation of reliable flooring and maintenance services, which can increase safety and efficiency.
Food Service Flooring Installation Requirements
Certain types of corrosive chemicals or heavy equipment will cause damage to floors if they aren’t properly protected. Wear can also build up over time as a due to heavy foot traffic.
A well-maintained flooring system will help keep food service facilities safer and significantly less vulnerable to damage.
Reducing the Need for Frequent Maintenance
When installing flooring in a food service facility, some may believe that maintenance policies aren’t needed, but the fact is that having these in place can help you save money over time. Everything from cleaning chemicals to heavy equipment in a facility will damage flooring over time if it’s not protected, and even light impact could cause more significant damage if the surface is already damaged. Joint damage is another aspect that facility managers should take into account.
Restaurants and other food service facilities can save more money and time by avoiding these issues with the proper installation of the initial flooring. Keep in mind that damaged flooring can also leave other equipment, supplies, staff, and customers at risk of damage or harm in food service facilities, as equipment will require more frequent repairs when used on worn floors, and the risk of work-related injuries will also be greater.
Floor and Wall Services for Restaurants and More
One of the best ways for a food service business to keep its flooring in good condition is to install a new high-quality floor surface in addition to the initial flooring. This surfacing could include a protective coating along with a properly installed floor base. However, if flooring has already suffered damage resulting from insufficient protection, you can also contact professional flooring installers to perform repairs. Installers can also incorporate epoxy and other finishes for additional protection.
MSC Floors offers a variety of floor and wall services to help keep all types of food service facilities in good condition, including:
Food Service Concrete Repair
Concrete will eventually require repairs for varying degrees of damage. Our concrete repair services include concrete sandblasting and shotblasting, diamond grinding, floor sloping, scarification, floor flattening, concrete scraping, trip hazard removal, dry concrete cleaning, and dust proofing.
Crack and Joint Repair
Cracks will form in floors over time as they age and experience wear, which can increase the risk of contamination and accidents. Joint and crack repair services can remove any existing safety hazards and help prepare concrete and substrate for floor coating application, reduce the risk of injury, prevent contamination, and eliminate bacteria buildup.
Concrete Preparation
Concrete preparation services are needed to make sure that the floor coatings don’t break, peel, or fail over time as a result of insufficient adhesion. With the help of concrete floor preparation before coating, food service facility flooring systems will benefit from added overall efficiency while preventing the formation of any flaws that might otherwise allow for contamination and damage.
OSHA Floor Striping
Some food service businesses may need OSHA floor striping, which we also offer to maintain compliance with all OSHA safety guidelines for both marking and striping.
Wall Coatings for Restaurants
Wall coatings can provide additional protection for certain food service facilities, preventing damage while making walls easier to clean and maintain. These coatings also provide more corrosion resistance and can help create a safer environment for staff and students.
