Philadelphia health regulations require commercial kitchen floors to be smooth, durable, and easy to clean. Floors in food preparation areas must stay intact, without cracks, open seams, or damage that interferes with proper cleaning. Surfaces need to handle frequent washing, moisture, grease, and food debris. Floors must be strong enough for regular sanitation and resist wear from daily kitchen use. They should remain free of any defects or conditions that could prevent effective cleaning. These standards help ensure kitchens stay sanitary and safe for food handling by limiting places where dirt and harmful bacteria can build up.
In Philadelphia, PA, floors in food preparation areas, warewashing stations, walk-in refrigeration units, restrooms, and places exposed to water spray or flushing must be made of moisture-resistant, nonabsorbent materials. These surfaces must prevent water from soaking in. Floors must also allow proper drainage and easy sanitation. This helps remove conditions that let pathogens grow. Proper flooring helps keep kitchens clean and safe.
Commercial kitchen flooring in Philadelphia must be slip-resistant to prevent employee injuries and reduce the risk of accidental food contamination. Surfaces should be properly maintained to consistently meet safety and cleanliness standards. Following these flooring guidelines closely helps businesses avoid violations and protect public health.
Approved flooring options for commercial kitchens and food prep areas include quarry tile, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, sealed concrete, epoxy resin flooring, vinyl composition tile (VCT) with commercial-grade sealants, and urethane cement. Urethane cement provides durability, chemical resistance, seamless installation, thermal shock resistance, and easy cleaning and sanitation.
Health codes require floor drains in areas with frequent water use, cleaning, or liquid discharge, including kitchens, dishwashing zones, and food prep spaces. Floors must slope toward drains at least 1/8 inch per foot, ideally 1/4 inch per foot, to avoid standing water. Floor drains must have proper traps and vents per local plumbing standards.
Philadelphia health regulations mandate approved cove base installation where floors and walls meet in all food-related areas. The coving must provide a smooth, curved, and seamless transition. This helps prevent dirt and moisture buildup and allows easy cleaning. Cove bases must generally measure between 4 to 6 inches above finished floor surfaces.
Our local health code regulations follow the 2017 FDA Food Code as their main standard. The code includes extra amendments and special requirements tailored to meet local needs. These guidelines apply to commercial kitchen flooring to ensure compliance with health and safety standards set by the FDA and the city.
Food establishments must follow mandatory inspections by the local Department of Public Health Office of Food Protection. They must clearly post their food safety inspection reports on site. A Certified Food Protection Manager must be present during all hours of operation to supervise food safety practices. Establishments must keep detailed written records of cleaning schedules and methods. These records must include flooring and drainage areas. Documentation must be available upon request during inspections. All establishments must maintain floors and drains according to the documented cleaning schedules and procedures to meet health code requirements.
Handwashing sinks must be conveniently located in food preparation, cooking, warewashing, and service areas. Each sink must have hot running water of at least 100°F and cold running water. Soap, disposable towels or hand dryers, and clear signs showing proper handwashing methods must also be provided. These requirements are mandated by Philadelphia health codes.
Commercial kitchens must have proper lighting for food safety and cleanliness. Philadelphia rules state food prep surfaces, cooking areas, and dishwashing spaces need at least 50 foot-candles of light. Walk-in refrigerators, dry storage, and restrooms require at least 20 foot-candles.
Meeting commercial kitchen flooring health code guidelines helps protect public health, avoids costly fines or closures, and builds customer trust by showing responsible food safety practices. Following flooring regulations carefully is essential to maintain compliance and ensure safe, successful operations.
Philadelphia health regulations require commercial kitchen floors to be smooth, durable, and easy to clean, remaining intact without cracks, open seams, or damage that could hinder sanitation. Floors must withstand frequent washing, moisture exposure, grease, and food debris, while resisting daily wear and tear. Urethane cement flooring meets these stringent requirements exceptionally well, providing a seamless, moisture-resistant surface that prevents bacterial growth and contamination. Its durability ensures long-term compliance with health codes, maintaining a safe and sanitary environment. Additionally, urethane cement flooring offers excellent slip resistance, significantly reducing employee injury risks and accidental food contamination, thus fully aligning with Philadelphia’s rigorous safety and cleanliness standards.
Health codes mandate floor drains in areas regularly exposed to water, cleaning solutions, or liquid discharge, such as kitchens and food preparation spaces. Floors must slope toward drains at a minimum of 1/8 inch per foot, ideally 1/4 inch per foot, to prevent standing water. Additionally, Philadelphia regulations require approved cove bases—smooth, seamless transitions between floors and walls—to facilitate easy sanitation. Urethane cement flooring is highly conducive to creating precise slopes and seamless coving, effectively meeting these regulatory guidelines. Its versatile application ensures proper drainage and simplifies cleaning, significantly reducing moisture and dirt accumulation.

Double broadcast epoxy flooring involves applying two layers of epoxy resin combined with broadcast aggregates, creating a seamless, durable, and easy-to-clean surface. Philadelphia health regulations mandate that commercial kitchen floors must be smooth, intact, and resistant to cracks or damage that could hinder proper sanitation. Floors must withstand frequent washing, moisture, grease, and food debris accumulation. Double broadcast epoxy flooring effectively meets these standards, ensuring compliance and promoting sanitary food preparation environments.
Additionally, Philadelphia health codes require kitchen floors to slope toward drains at a minimum of 1/8 inch per foot, preferably 1/4 inch per foot, to prevent standing water. Unlike urethane cement, double broadcast epoxy flooring typically requires an additional sloping layer to achieve this drainage requirement. However, epoxy flooring systems are fully compatible with mandated cove base installations, providing a smooth, seamless transition between floors and walls to facilitate thorough cleaning and sanitation.

Yes, epoxy and urethane cement flooring can often be installed directly over existing tile, provided the tiles are securely bonded and properly prepared. Proper surface preparation ensures strong adhesion and long-lasting performance.
Ideal installation temperatures range between 60°F and 85°F (15°C to 29°C). Maintaining proper temperature and humidity levels during installation ensures optimal curing and durability of the flooring.
Yes, both epoxy and urethane cement floors can be formulated with slip-resistant additives to enhance safety in busy kitchen environments. This helps reduce the risk of slips and falls, even when floors become wet or greasy.
Proper preparation includes thoroughly cleaning and degreasing the existing surface, repairing cracks or damage, and mechanically profiling the substrate to ensure strong adhesion. Adequate preparation is critical to the long-term performance of epoxy or urethane cement flooring.
