Introduction
In the fast-paced world of commercial kitchens, flooring isn't just about aesthetics; it's about safety, durability, hygiene, and compliance. As we move into 2025, epoxy flooring continues to dominate as the top choice for foodservice environments. Here's why, and how Tigershield™ from Garon Products sets the gold standard.
What Is Epoxy Flooring?
Epoxy flooring is a resin-based surface coating that bonds tightly to concrete, creating a seamless, non-porous, and highly durable floor. It resists:
- Heavy foot and equipment traffic
- Chemical spills
- Moisture and bacteria
- Abrasion and impact
These features make it ideal for commercial kitchens, where cleanliness and performance are non-negotiable.
Benefits of Epoxy Flooring in Commercial Kitchens
- Superior Hygiene
Epoxy’s seamless surface prevents bacteria and mold from hiding in cracks or grout lines. It’s easy to clean and sanitize which is critical for health code compliance. - Slip Resistance
With customizable textures and anti-slip additives, epoxy flooring reduces the risk of slips and falls, even in wet or greasy conditions. - Chemical & Heat Resistance
Epoxy coatings withstand harsh cleaning agents, hot spills, and steam, making them perfect for high-temperature kitchen environments. - Long-Term Durability
Unlike tile or vinyl, epoxy doesn’t crack, peel, or degrade under pressure. It lasts for years with minimal maintenance. - Fast Installation & Minimal Downtime
Modern epoxy systems cure quickly, allowing kitchens to return to full operation in record time.
