Urethane cement flooring that survives the kitchen.

System Overview

Why urethane cement, not epoxy.

Urethane cement (also called polyurethane concrete or hybrid urethane) is a trowel-applied system, typically 4–9 mm thick, that thermally expands at roughly the same rate as the concrete slab beneath it. That single property is why it survives where epoxy fails: a 200°F washdown over a 40°F slab doesn't shear it loose.

Property	Urethane Cement	Standard Epoxy
Thickness	4–9 mm	10–60 mil (0.25–1.5 mm)
Thermal shock	Excellent	Poor
Max service temp	~250°F	~140°F
Steam / hot water cleaning	Daily, fine	Causes failure
USDA / FDA compatibility	Yes	Some formulations

Integral cove base

A trowel-formed 4–6″ cove where the floor meets the wall, sealed continuously with the floor system itself. Eliminates the 90° corner seam where bacteria, water, and debris accumulate under standard tile-and-grout installations. Required by most health inspectors who've seen a few outbreak investigations.

Drainage & trench detail

Slope-to-drain pitched into the wet pour, with the same urethane system run continuously into and around stainless trench drains. No tile-edge failure points. No grout to deteriorate.

Slip rating

Aggregate is broadcast into the wet topcoat to a slip rating matched to your environment — light texture for dry prep areas, heavy texture for fryer zones and wet processing. DCOF (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction) targeted at ≥ 0.42 wet, exceeding ANSI A326.3 wet-floor recommendations.

Antimicrobial option

Silver-ion or proprietary antimicrobial additives integrated into the topcoat. Worth specifying where the floor is part of an HACCP plan; less critical where daily sanitation is rigorous.
