Epoxy Flooring in the Kitchen: Thinking Beyond Garage Floors

Surely, as far as private residences are concerned, the most common space that comes to mind when considering concrete coating or epoxy flooring application is the garage floor and possibly the accompanying driveways. While our garage floors no doubt require this protective coating, thanks to almost non stop weathering and wear, they are not the only area in the home or property which often calls for epoxy flooring. Inherently, like the garage, the kitchen is home to many projects, messes, and potential disasters. From daily upkeep, to preventing serious issues in the future, the benefits of standard or metallic epoxy flooring in a kitchen can provide endless relief from stress and long term peace of mind. Many homeowners may still think of the garage as the only primary or necessary place in the private residence to apply epoxy coatings. Below, we will delve deeper into the crucial benefits provided by changing that thinking to include kitchens as one of the essential spaces in which epoxy flooring can be utilized.

One of the main reasons that protective concrete coating has become a must have in garage floors and driveways is due to these being high traffic areas with frequent damages and wear and tear taking place at every turn. Is this not also true of our kitchens? Does any space beside the kitchen tolerate such non stop usage and weathering within our private thresholds? And is not a much more private space than the garage, and one which we should attempt to keep noticeably clean and sanitary? We must change our thinking, as well as the thinking of our neighbors, family, and friends, who are spending far more on far less reliable flooring options within the home and who do not know about the myriad benefits that come with the application of top of the line epoxy flooring in your private kitchen. Protect the delicate piping and systems under the flooring, prevent leaks and seepage, and make cleaning up messes or stains easier than ever before thanks to this protective coating. Apply the same emphasis on durability, reliability, and efficiency that we do with our garage floors to the other floors and spaces in our home – most importantly above others being the constantly utilized kitchen.

The delicate subsystems which run throughout our home are often centralized in our kitchens due to the essential appliances that reside there. Drains, disposals, and other essential piping reside in our kitchens within our private residences, and they carry out very important duties. If any of these appliances or systems begins to fail or is impaireda or damaged in any way, the overall efficiency and eventually the condition of your home entirely can be compromised. Aside from making cleaning and upkeep much easier, as well as increasing the aesthetic qualities of the kitchen or any space, epoxy flooring boasts its durability and reliability above all other traits. The flooring in your kitchen will be more powerful and reliable than ever, and will be able to stand up to any bump, drop, or bang that comes its way! Dropping tools or equipment or even furniture will not compromise the surface of your kitchen floors, and they will also easily stand up to any scuffs or scrapes as well. Protect your kitchen flooring on the surface level, and protect the delicate piping and systems which lie and run underneath the surface as well. Applying epoxy flooring to the kitchen floors makes it durable for years to come, increasing the overall longevity and performance of your home as a whole as well as granting you peace of mind that you are helping yourself to avoid a headache, damages, or issues in the kitchen.

Perhaps no portion of the home or residence is victim to more spillage and seepage than our cherished kitchens. From red wine, to black coffee, and every colored substance in between, the floors in our kitchens are at a near constant risk of permanent staining or even damages if we fail to protect it properly. Over a long enough period of time passes, even a harmless and basic liquid like water can lead to serious issues in our flooring and our kitchens if leaks and moisture are allowed to persist and seep into our foundations. This can lead to mildew and mold, which bring with them not only a grotesque imagery and foul smell, but also a great array of potential health risks and hazards too. Further, beyond the risks and problems associated with mildew and mold and their time consuming and costly removals, there is also a risk of damage being done to the very foundations of your kitchen and your home within the flooring. Moisture and leaks can weaken the foundations and lead to disastrous and very expensive repairs down the line. The simple and affordable application of high quality epoxy flooring or concrete coating can help to prevent these issues in the kitchen, and save you money and time in the future.

Any homeowner or person who has managed or maintained a property knows that the kitchen can be home to some of the most back breaking work that there is. Cleaning and upkeep can be very difficult in the kitchen space thanks to the great deal of messes and spills that can lead to stains and other issues in the area. If you do not have protective concrete coating, these spills and stains can be permanent blemishes that deteriorate the value and imagery of your home’s kitchen forever. If you are able to remove the spills and stains, it is at the cost of a great deal of labor. Time on our hands and knees, bending and kneeling and sloshing about in hot water and soapy mixtures is the only way to combat these stains, and even then it is not always enough! By applying epoxy flooring to the kitchen you not only make cleaning and stain removal an effortless and quick process, but you also help to keep the space noticeably clean and sanitary. This adds to the overall hygiene and health of your home’s kitchen as well as increases the aesthetics! The benefits of this simple flooring solution can simply not be overstated!
