    Health Code Requirements for Phoenix, Arizona

    General Flooring Requirements

    Commercial kitchen flooring in Phoenix, AZ must follow the Maricopa County Environmental Health Code. Floors must be made from smooth, durable, and easily cleanable materials. Surfaces must not have cracks, chips, or open seams. Floors must be kept free of dirt, moisture, and food particles. Regular cleaning and maintenance is required. Floors must remain in good condition at all times to meet county health standards. Proper flooring helps ensure kitchens stay sanitary and safe for food preparation.

    In Phoenix, AZ, health codes require floors in food prep areas, warewashing spaces, walk-in refrigerators and freezers, restrooms, and other moisture-exposed areas to be made from nonabsorbent materials. Floors must resist grease, water, and moisture. This helps prevent microbial growth and contamination.

    Commercial kitchen flooring must use slip-resistant materials to protect employees. Health regulations require flooring in areas prone to moisture, grease, or spills to offer enough grip, minimizing slip-and-fall hazards. Following these floor safety guidelines helps kitchens maintain compliance, reduces workplace accidents, and ensures a safer environment for employees and customers.

    Approved Flooring Materials

    Phoenix, AZ health codes approve commercial kitchen flooring materials such as quarry tile, ceramic tile, terrazzo, seamless epoxy flooring, urethane cement, poured seamless flooring, and similar smooth, durable, nonabsorbent, easily cleanable options. Urethane cement is specifically recommended for durability, thermal shock resistance, chemical resistance, and easy maintenance.

    Floor Drain Requirements

    Floor drains are required in all areas with regular water use or cleaning, including food prep areas, dishwashing stations, and cooking equipment spaces. Floors must slope toward these drains at a rate of at least 1/8 inch per foot. This slope meets Maricopa County guidelines, ensuring effective drainage and helping reduce standing water in commercial kitchens.

    Coving at Floor and Wall Junctures

    Coving is required where floors meet walls in food prep areas, warewashing stations, restrooms, and refrigeration units. It must be smooth, nonabsorbent, and easy to clean. Common materials include tile, epoxy, or similar seamless surfaces. Cove radius must allow proper cleaning and prevent debris and moisture buildup.

    Version of FDA Code Used as Model

    Our Environmental Health Code follows guidelines from the 2017 FDA Food Code. These rules require commercial kitchen flooring to be smooth, durable, and easy to clean. Floors must resist moisture and grease. They must remain free of cracks, holes, or damaged areas to prevent contamination and support proper sanitation practices.

    Specific Provisions in Phoenix, AZ

    All commercial food establishments must follow the flooring standards listed in Chapter VIII, Section 6 of the Maricopa County Environmental Health Code. Floors must not allow standing water and must drain easily. This helps prevent bacteria growth and contamination. The materials used for flooring and the way they are installed must first be approved by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department. Approval takes place during a plan review before any construction or renovation begins. These rules apply to all commercial kitchens and food service locations. Following these regulations helps ensure safety and cleanliness for food preparation areas.

    Other Aspects of Commercial Kitchen Design

    Commercial kitchens must have grease interceptors installed and regularly maintained. These interceptors keep fats, oils, and grease (FOG) out of public sewer systems. Their size and setup must meet the rules in the City of Phoenix Plumbing Code and Maricopa County Environmental Health Code. Proper interceptor use helps kitchens meet local health code requirements for commercial flooring.

    Ventilation and exhaust systems in commercial kitchens must meet Maricopa County Environmental Health Code and International Mechanical Code standards. Equipment must effectively remove heat, smoke, odors, moisture, and grease vapors. Exhaust hoods and ventilation units require approval from the appropriate Phoenix city authorities. Regular inspections and maintenance of these systems are also required.

    Proper commercial kitchen flooring helps businesses comply with Phoenix and Maricopa County health codes, reducing risks of fines, closures, and safety hazards, while improving efficiency and employee protection. Following all flooring guidelines is essential to maintaining food safety and public trust.

    Recommended Commercial Kitchen Installations for Phoenix

    Urethane Cement Installation

    In Phoenix, AZ, commercial kitchen flooring must adhere strictly to the Maricopa County Environmental Health Code, which mandates floors to be smooth, durable, and easily cleanable. Surfaces must remain free of cracks, chips, or open seams to prevent contamination and microbial growth. Urethane cement flooring is an ideal solution, as it provides a seamless, nonabsorbent surface resistant to grease, water, and moisture. Additionally, urethane cement flooring offers excellent slip-resistance, significantly reducing the risk of workplace accidents. By choosing urethane cement, commercial kitchens can effectively maintain compliance with local health regulations, ensuring a safe and sanitary environment for both employees and customers.

    Maricopa County health guidelines require commercial kitchen floors to slope toward floor drains at a minimum rate of 1/8 inch per foot, facilitating proper drainage and reducing standing water. Additionally, coving—smooth, nonabsorbent transitions between floors and walls—is mandatory in food preparation areas, warewashing stations, restrooms, and refrigeration units. Urethane cement flooring is particularly conducive to these requirements, as it can be precisely installed to achieve the necessary slope and seamlessly integrated coving. Its seamless application ensures easy cleaning and prevents moisture and debris accumulation, effectively meeting county health standards.

Our in-house senior NACE Certified Inspector oversees each project, guaranteeing precision and adherence to industry standards.

    Double-Broadcast Epoxy Installation

    Double broadcast epoxy flooring involves applying two layers of epoxy resin, each broadcasted with aggregate to create a durable, slip-resistant, and seamless surface. In Phoenix, AZ, commercial kitchen flooring must comply with the Maricopa County Environmental Health Code, requiring smooth, durable, and easily cleanable surfaces without cracks, chips, or open seams. Double broadcast epoxy flooring meets these stringent standards effectively, providing a seamless, hygienic surface that facilitates regular cleaning and maintenance, ensuring kitchens remain sanitary and compliant.

    Maricopa County regulations mandate floor drains in areas with regular water use or cleaning, requiring floors to slope toward drains at a minimum rate of 1/8 inch per foot. While double broadcast epoxy flooring can accommodate coving seamlessly to meet health code guidelines, it typically requires an additional sloping layer beneath the epoxy coating to achieve proper drainage. In comparison, urethane cement inherently allows slope formation without additional layers.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Terrazzo Flooring

    Proper surface preparation is crucial and typically involves cleaning, degreasing, and mechanically profiling the concrete substrate to ensure strong adhesion. Any cracks or imperfections should also be repaired prior to applying epoxy or urethane cement flooring.

    Installation time for urethane cement flooring in a commercial kitchen usually ranges from two to four days, depending on the size and complexity of the space. This timeframe includes surface preparation, application, curing, and final inspections.

    While it is possible, it is generally not recommended to install epoxy or urethane cement flooring directly over existing tile or vinyl. Removing the old flooring and properly preparing the concrete substrate ensures better adhesion, durability, and long-term performance.

    Epoxy flooring installation is best performed at temperatures between 60°F and 85°F, as this range ensures proper curing and optimal adhesion. Extreme temperatures or high humidity can negatively affect the curing process and overall quality of the finished floor.

    Yes, temporarily suspending kitchen operations is typically required during flooring installation to ensure proper application and curing. Scheduling installation during off-hours or planned downtime can minimize disruption to your facility.
