This standard follows local health regulations. Proper slope ensures water drains correctly during cleaning. It also prevents standing water, keeping the workspace safe, clean, and compliant with health codes.
Kansas City health codes require coving at the juncture of floors and walls in commercial kitchens. The coving must be smooth, durable, and easy to clean. It must also have a radius large enough to allow proper cleaning and to prevent dirt or debris from building up in corners or edges.

Commercial kitchen flooring in Kansas City must adhere to strict health code regulations, requiring surfaces to be smooth, durable, and easy to clean. Floors must be free from cracks, seams, or crevices that could trap dirt, grease, or food particles, potentially causing contamination. Urethane cement flooring provides an ideal solution, offering a seamless, nonabsorbent surface that resists damage from heavy use and chemical cleaning agents. Its durability ensures long-term compliance with local health standards, facilitating regular maintenance and sanitation. By installing urethane cement flooring, commercial kitchens can effectively meet Kansas City’s stringent health code requirements and maintain safe, hygienic food preparation environments.
Kansas City health codes mandate that floors in kitchens, dishwashing areas, and food-processing rooms slope toward drains at a rate between 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch per foot. Additionally, coving at floor-wall junctures must be smooth, durable, and easily cleanable, with a sufficient radius to prevent debris accumulation. Urethane cement flooring is particularly conducive to these requirements, as it can be precisely installed with the necessary slope and seamlessly integrated coving. This ensures proper drainage, prevents standing water, and simplifies cleaning, thereby maintaining compliance with local health regulations.

Double broadcast epoxy flooring is a resinous flooring system installed by applying two separate layers of epoxy resin, each broadcasted with aggregate to enhance durability and slip resistance. Kansas City Health Department regulations mandate that commercial kitchen floors must be smooth, durable, and easily cleanable, without cracks, seams, or crevices that could harbor dirt, grease, or food particles. Double broadcast epoxy flooring meets these stringent local requirements, providing a seamless, hygienic surface that facilitates sanitation and helps maintain compliance with health codes.
Kansas City health codes also require commercial kitchen floors to slope toward drains at a rate between 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch per foot, ensuring proper drainage and preventing standing water. Unlike urethane cement flooring, double broadcast epoxy flooring typically requires an additional sloping underlayment to achieve this mandated slope. However, double broadcast epoxy systems are fully compatible with the required coving at floor-wall junctions, providing smooth, durable, and easily cleanable transitions that prevent debris accumulation.
