Commercial · St. Louis, MO
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring has to handle hot water, grease, dropped pans, and nonstop washdowns without getting slick or breaking down. Elite Epoxy St. Louis installs and repairs food-safe resin floors for restaurants, commissaries, and institutional kitchens, with minimal downtime and a clear written plan.
Prep is the job. We start by checking slab flatness, moisture vapor emission, and existing coatings, then map cracks, cold joints, and spalled areas. Surfaces are diamond-ground or shot-blasted to a clean CSP 2-4 profile, followed by HEPA vacuuming and a degreasing scrub to remove fryer oil and detergents. We rebuild damaged concrete with epoxy mortar or rapid-cure patch materials, detail coves and terminations at walls and drains, then prime with moisture-mitigating epoxy where needed to lock down weak concrete and improve bond strength.
St. Louis kitchens see big swings from winter salt tracked in to summer humidity, so we select systems that resist osmotic blistering and thermal shock from hot wash water. For most kitchens, we install a high-build 100% solids epoxy base with a broadcast aggregate for traction, then finish with chemical-resistant urethane or polyaspartic topcoats for better stain resistance and cleanability. Where heat, steam, and harsh cleaners are constant, we recommend urethane cement for superior resistance to lactic acid, grease, and repeated washdowns. Slip resistance is tuned by area, smoother in prep zones for easier mop-down, more texture at dish lines, coolers, and entrances.
St. Louis customers choose us because we treat kitchens like production spaces, not showrooms. You get realistic scheduling around service hours, clear cure-time expectations, and crew practices that respect food environments, including controlled dust collection, clean transitions, and careful protection of equipment, stainless, and floor sinks. We install systems that stand up to caustic degreasers, sanitizer solutions, and rolling loads from speed racks and carts, and we plan details like cove base height, drain rings, and thresholds so your floor is easier to clean and less likely to trap grime.
Before we wrap up, we walk the floor with you and verify texture, drainage transitions, and coverage at edges, penetrations, and doorways. You receive a written scope, product data sheets on the resin system used, care and cleaning guidance (approved detergents, pads, and dilution basics), and a punch-list signoff so the kitchen can reopen with confidence. If the project is a repair, we feather and tie-in cleanly, then confirm adhesion and finish match as closely as the existing system allows. The goal is simple: a seamless, sanitary surface that cleans fast, holds traction, and stays intact under daily abuse.
Many residential garage floors are completed in 1-2 days depending on repairs, humidity, and the coating system. Cure time varies by product, but we provide a clear schedule for foot traffic and vehicle return in the written estimate.
Sometimes, but it depends on adhesion and compatibility. We typically grind to remove failed coating, then re-profile the slab and rebuild the system with the correct primer and topcoats.
We repair cracks and spalls during prep using crack-chasing, joint cleaning, and patch materials selected for the condition. Some moving cracks can telegraph over time, but proper repair greatly improves appearance and performance.
Standard epoxy can amber with UV exposure. For sunlit garages or exterior-adjacent areas, we recommend UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoats to help reduce yellowing and chalking.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that outlines prep, system options, decorative choices, timeline, and care notes so you can compare apples to apples.
If your kitchen floor is stained, slippery, or failing at the dish line, commercial kitchen epoxy flooring can restore safety and sanitation without constant patching. Elite Epoxy St. Louis installs resinous flooring systems designed for grease, hot water, cleaners, and heavy traffic, and we also repair delamination, cracking, and worn topcoats so you can keep operations moving.
A durable kitchen floor starts with the slab. We evaluate concrete condition, moisture risk, and any old coatings, then mechanically profile the surface with diamond grinding or shot blasting for proper adhesion. Cracks and spalls get rebuilt with epoxy mortar or rapid-cure patching, and joints are addressed so movement is controlled instead of telegraphing through the finish. When moisture is a concern, we can apply a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer to reduce blistering and coating failure.
For many facilities, a 100% solids epoxy system with a full broadcast aggregate provides a cleanable, slip-resistant surface, finished with a chemical-resistant urethane or polyaspartic topcoat. In high-heat and high-moisture areas, urethane cement is often the better fit because it handles thermal cycling, steam, and aggressive washdowns. We also detail coves, curbs, and terminations at floor sinks, trench drains, and door thresholds, since those edges are where kitchens typically fail first.
Whether you need a full install or targeted repairs, we focus on long service life and practical maintenance. You get a written estimate, system recommendations based on how your kitchen is used, and care instructions to protect your finish from harsh pads and improper chemicals. If you are comparing bids for commercial kitchen epoxy flooring, ask about surface prep method, target CSP profile, coating thickness, and how the contractor handles drains and cove base, those details determine how long the floor will last.
