Introduction
A Hilton hotel's commercial kitchen faced significant issues with a peeling epoxy floor coating. The previous coating led to slip hazards and further concrete deterioration, disrupting the kitchen's operations. To resolve this, the hotel opted for a comprehensive floor resurfacing solution using Trowel-Applied Cementitious Urethane – Mortarthane™ HF and Urethane Cement Floor Resurfacer - Mortarthane SL™, which not only restored the floor's integrity but also addressed the challenges of high heat and hot washdowns typical of a commercial kitchen environment.
Seamless Solution for Kitchen Challenges
The new urethane floor resurfacing created a smooth, seamless surface that enhanced safety with its anti-slip properties. Additionally, the floor’s resistance to sudden temperature changes from hot grease and boiling water ensured long-lasting durability. A urethane cement cove was also added along the floor/wall joint, effectively sealing the floor to prevent further damage.
Minimal Disruption During Installation
Despite the challenges of a tight timeframe, the floor resurfacing was completed in just 36 hours, allowing the kitchen to remain partially open and continue serving guests. The installation was completed with minimal disruption, ensuring that Hilton's operations were not hindered.
Final Results
The new floor not only enhanced safety but also improved the efficiency of daily washdowns. With an aesthetically pleasing, durable surface, the Hilton kitchen now boasts an optimized, slip-resistant, and easy-to-maintain flooring solution, increasing staff morale and providing long-term benefits.
