Introduction
Upgrading a restaurant kitchen floor is essential for safety, hygiene, and compliance with health regulations. Garon Products offers a comprehensive solution that addresses these needs effectively.
Step 1: Assessing the Existing Floor
Begin by evaluating the current floor's condition. In the case of Dos Toros Taqueria, the existing 100-year-old plywood floor was stable and suitable for resurfacing.
Step 2: Preparing the Substrate
Apply a wire lath over the plywood substrate. This step ensures proper bonding of the epoxy coating and accommodates any natural movement of the suspended floor.
Step 3: Applying the Epoxy Mortar
Use Treflite™ All Purpose Epoxy Repair to fill in any imperfections and create a smooth surface. This product provides excellent adhesion and durability.
Step 4: Sealing with High-Build Epoxy
Finish with Tigerbond™ 221 Ultra High-Build Epoxy Coating. This topcoat offers a seamless, slip-resistant, and watertight surface, essential for commercial kitchen environments.
Step 5: Ensuring Compliance and Safety
The completed floor meets New York City Department of Health standards, providing a safe and compliant environment for both staff and customers.
A Solid Foundation for the Future
Upgrading your restaurant kitchen floor with Garon Products’ solutions not only enhances safety and hygiene but also ensures compliance with health regulations. By following these steps, you can achieve a durable and functional kitchen floor that meets the demands of a busy culinary environment.
