Commercial kitchens require flooring systems that withstand harsh conditions, including frequent temperature fluctuations, chemical spills, and heavy foot traffic. Urethane cement and poured epoxy flooring are two specialized solutions engineered specifically for these demanding environments. These flooring systems offer outstanding thermal shock resistance, preventing cracks and deterioration caused by rapid temperature changes. Additionally, their seamless, non-porous surfaces simplify cleaning and maintenance, helping businesses comply with stringent local health and safety regulations. Selecting the right flooring solution is essential for maintaining a safe, hygienic, and efficient commercial kitchen environment.

Floors in commercial food preparation areas must be smooth, durable, and easy to clean. They should be made of non-porous materials. Floors cannot have cracks, seams, or gaps that trap food particles, moisture, or bacteria. Surfaces must allow thorough cleaning. Flooring must also hold up well under frequent cleaning routines.
In areas where moisture or spills may occur, such as food prep areas, dishwashing stations, refrigerators, freezers, and storage rooms, flooring must be nonabsorbent and waterproof. Carpets or porous floor coverings are not allowed. Floors should prevent liquids from soaking in and must be easy to clean. This helps reduce slips, contamination, and pests. Materials used need to stay smooth, durable, and resistant to wear. Floors must stay in good repair, with no cracks, holes, or uneven surfaces. They should be simple to clean thoroughly, ensuring good sanitation and safety in commercial kitchens.
Floors in commercial kitchens must always stay in good condition. Quickly fix or replace flooring that is damaged, peeling, chipped, or worn out. Doing this helps prevent contamination and makes it easier to keep surfaces clean and safe. Following these flooring guidelines carefully is key to meeting health codes and maintaining a safe environment for food preparation.
Approved flooring materials for commercial kitchens include sealed concrete, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, quarry tile, terrazzo, epoxy flooring, seamless vinyl flooring, and urethane cement. Urethane cement flooring is approved specifically for its durability, resistance to thermal shock and chemicals, and because it is easy to clean.
Floor drains are required in all spaces that regularly gather moisture, water splashes, or liquid waste. These include dishwashing stations, beverage dispensing stations, and food prep areas. Floors must slope toward drains to drain liquids properly. Health guidelines generally call for a slope of about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch per foot for proper drainage.
Health code requires a coved base at all floor-wall junctures in food preparation, storage, and dishwashing areas. Coving must be smooth, nonabsorbent, easily cleanable, integral, and continuous. It must have a minimum radius of 3/8 inch to remove sharp corners and allow for proper cleaning and sanitation.
Commercial kitchen flooring must meet the standards outlined in the New Jersey State Sanitary Code (N.J.A.C. 8:24), Chapter 24, “Sanitation in Retail Food Establishments and Food and Beverage Vending Machines.” These statewide regulations follow guidelines based on the FDA 2013 Food Code for food safety and sanitation practices.
Commercial kitchens in Newark, NJ, must follow flooring rules set by the Newark Department of Health and Community Wellness. Inspectors regularly check kitchens for floor cleanliness, proper drainage, good condition of floor materials, and overall sanitation. Businesses may need to send detailed flooring plans to the Newark Health Department before getting approval or permits. All flooring renovations or new kitchen construction must closely follow guidelines provided by the Newark Health Department and the New Jersey State Sanitary Code. Compliance with these rules is required for commercial kitchens to pass routine city inspections.
Adequate lighting is required in all food preparation, storage, and cleaning areas. Fixtures must have protective covers, shields, or shatter-resistant bulbs to prevent contamination of food and surfaces. Proper lighting allows safe handling of food and thorough cleaning of equipment. These rules help kitchens comply with local health codes and maintain sanitary, safe working conditions.
Commercial kitchens must have proper ventilation systems to remove heat, odors, smoke, and grease-filled air. Exhaust hoods, ducts, filters, and fans must be cleaned and maintained often. This regular upkeep is required by Newark’s fire safety rules and local health codes. Proper ventilation helps reduce fire risks and keeps kitchen air safe and clean.
Meeting your city’s commercial kitchen flooring and sanitation standards helps prevent contamination, foodborne illness, and pest issues, protecting customers and avoiding costly fines or closures. Following proper flooring guidelines is essential to ensuring ongoing food safety compliance and public health protection.
Urethane cement flooring provides an optimal solution for meeting Newark’s stringent health code regulations in commercial food preparation areas. According to these guidelines, floors must be smooth, durable, non-porous, and easy to clean, without cracks, seams, or gaps that could harbor food particles, moisture, or bacteria. Urethane cement flooring fulfills these requirements exceptionally well, offering a seamless, nonabsorbent surface that withstands frequent cleaning routines and resists wear and tear. Its inherent durability ensures that floors remain smooth, intact, and hygienic over time, significantly reducing risks of contamination, slips, and pest infestation, thus ensuring consistent compliance with local health standards.
Additionally, urethane cement flooring is highly conducive to meeting health code requirements regarding proper drainage and coving. Health regulations mandate floor drains in moisture-prone areas, requiring floors to slope adequately—typically between 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot—to facilitate effective drainage. Urethane cement flooring can be precisely installed to achieve these slopes seamlessly. Furthermore, its versatility allows for the creation of integral, continuous coved bases at floor-wall junctures, with the required minimum radius of 3/8 inch, eliminating sharp corners and enabling thorough sanitation and cleaning.

Double broadcast epoxy flooring involves applying two layers of epoxy resin, each broadcasted with aggregate to create a durable, seamless, and slip-resistant surface. Newark’s health code regulations mandate that flooring in commercial food preparation areas must be smooth, durable, non-porous, and easy to clean, without cracks, seams, or gaps that can harbor bacteria or moisture. Double broadcast epoxy flooring effectively meets these requirements, providing a seamless, hygienic surface that withstands rigorous cleaning routines and maintains compliance with local health standards.
Additionally, Newark’s health codes require floors in moisture-prone areas, such as dishwashing stations and food prep zones, to slope toward drains at approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot for proper drainage. Unlike urethane cement, double broadcast epoxy flooring typically requires an additional sloping layer to achieve this mandated drainage. However, epoxy flooring systems are fully compatible with integral coved bases, meeting the health code’s requirement for smooth, continuous coving with a minimum radius of 3/8 inch.

Urethane cement flooring provides excellent durability, thermal shock resistance, and chemical resistance, making it ideal for busy commercial kitchens. Its seamless surface also helps prevent bacterial growth and simplifies cleaning routines.
Installation of epoxy flooring in a commercial kitchen usually takes between two to five days, depending on the kitchen’s size and condition. Proper curing time is essential to ensure maximum durability and performance.
Yes, epoxy and urethane cement flooring can often be installed directly over existing flooring, provided the surface is properly prepared. This approach minimizes downtime and disruption to kitchen operations.
Proper surface preparation includes thoroughly cleaning and degreasing the existing floor, repairing cracks or damage, and mechanically profiling the surface. These steps ensure optimal adhesion and longevity of the urethane cement flooring.
Epoxy floors offer moderate heat resistance, suitable for most commercial kitchen environments. However, urethane cement flooring typically provides superior thermal shock resistance, making it preferable for areas frequently exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations.
