Commercial kitchens require flooring systems that withstand rigorous daily use, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure. Among our specialized installations are urethane cement and poured epoxy flooring, both engineered specifically for these demanding environments. Urethane cement flooring provides superior thermal shock resistance, making it ideal for areas exposed to hot liquids and frequent cleaning cycles. Additionally, epoxy flooring systems offer seamless, non-porous surfaces that effectively resist chemical spills and bacterial growth, supporting compliance with local health regulations. Understanding and adhering to these guidelines ensures flooring solutions that protect public health and maintain operational efficiency.

Commercial kitchen floors in food prep, dishwashing, storage, restrooms, walk-in refrigeration units, and other wet areas must meet specific health code standards set by the Oklahoma City-County Health Department (OCCHD). Floors must have smooth, durable surfaces that are easy to clean. Surfaces must also be free from cracks, gaps, seams, or irregularities. Such flaws can make cleaning difficult or allow bacteria to grow. Floors in these kitchen areas must stay in good condition to remain safe, sanitary, and compliant with OCCHD guidelines.
OCCHD regulations state that flooring in food preparation areas, cooking lines, warewashing stations, restrooms, and places exposed to moisture or liquids must be made from nonabsorbent materials. These surfaces must not absorb liquids. This prevents fluids from getting into the floors. It also stops bacteria from growing there. Proper flooring helps reduce contamination risks. Floors in these areas must stay clean and easily washable. They must also stay in good condition without cracks or damage. OCCHD requires these standards to maintain proper sanitation in commercial kitchen spaces.
Commercial kitchen flooring must be kept clean and in good condition, without cracks, holes, or gaps. Floors that are damaged and could weaken cleanliness or safety must be quickly fixed or replaced to meet inspection standards. Maintaining kitchen floors properly helps protect customers and staff, and ensures your restaurant stays compliant with essential food safety guidelines.
Approved flooring materials for commercial kitchens include quarry tile, ceramic tile, terrazzo, poured seamless epoxy flooring, sealed concrete, and urethane cement. Urethane cement is specifically recommended because it is durable, resists heat, and is easy to keep clean and sanitary.
Floor drains must be installed in kitchen spaces, dishwashing areas, and other locations where water flushing methods are used. They are also needed in areas prone to liquid spills or equipment drainage. Floors should slope toward these drains to allow proper drainage, usually at a slope of around 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot, as guided by OCCHD.
Coving or coved base is required where floors meet walls in food prep and wet areas. Coving must be smooth, durable, easy to clean, and sealed securely to walls and floors. It should measure at least four inches high and be made of approved materials like epoxy, tile, or vinyl with sealed edges.
Local health code enforcement and inspections follow standards set by the 2017 FDA Food Code. This code outlines flooring guidelines for commercial kitchens. It covers requirements like durability, smoothness, and ease of cleaning. Flooring must resist moisture and prevent slips. Compliance helps kitchens maintain sanitary conditions and pass inspections.
Food establishments must submit flooring and drainage plans to the local health department before building or remodeling. Plans must clearly show flooring materials, slopes, drains, and coving installation. Health inspectors regularly check flooring during routine inspections. Inspectors confirm floors meet health and safety rules. If flooring conditions are unsafe or unsanitary, inspectors may require prompt repairs. Proper flooring helps prevent contamination and accidents. Establishments must follow these flooring standards at all times to stay compliant with health codes.
Commercial kitchens must install approved grease interceptors or grease traps meeting City of Oklahoma City and OCCHD plumbing codes. Grease interceptors need proper sizing and easy access for cleaning. Regular maintenance is required to avoid grease buildup and wastewater blockages.
Commercial kitchens in Oklahoma City, OK must have proper ventilation systems and exhaust hoods that meet local building and mechanical codes. Exhaust hoods must capture grease, smoke, and moisture effectively. These hoods require regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them working correctly and to comply with fire safety regulations.
Following proper commercial kitchen flooring guidelines helps ensure food safety, prevents contamination, and reduces illness risks. Good practices simplify cleaning, deter pests, and protect businesses from fines or closures. Adhering strictly to floor regulations is essential for public health and business success.
Urethane cement flooring provides an ideal solution for meeting the stringent health code regulations set by the Oklahoma City-County Health Department (OCCHD). According to OCCHD guidelines, commercial kitchen floors in food preparation areas, dishwashing stations, restrooms, storage spaces, and walk-in refrigeration units must be smooth, durable, nonabsorbent, and easy to clean. Urethane cement flooring fulfills these requirements by offering a seamless, crack-resistant surface that prevents liquids from penetrating and bacteria from thriving. Its durability ensures floors remain in excellent condition, reducing contamination risks and maintaining compliance with OCCHD standards, thus protecting both customers and staff.
OCCHD regulations also mandate proper drainage and coving in commercial kitchen spaces. Floors must slope toward drains at approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot to facilitate efficient water runoff, especially in dishwashing areas and locations prone to spills or equipment drainage. Additionally, coving—a smooth, durable, and easily cleanable base at least four inches high—is required where floors meet walls. Urethane cement flooring is particularly conducive to creating precise slopes and seamless coving. Its versatile application allows installers to achieve the necessary angles and smooth transitions, ensuring full compliance with OCCHD drainage and sanitation guidelines.

Double broadcast epoxy flooring involves applying two layers of epoxy resin combined with broadcast aggregate, creating a durable, seamless, and slip-resistant surface. According to Oklahoma City-County Health Department (OCCHD) regulations, commercial kitchen floors in food preparation, dishwashing, storage, restrooms, walk-in refrigeration units, and other wet areas must be smooth, durable, and easily cleanable. Floors must remain free from cracks, seams, gaps, or irregularities to prevent bacterial growth. Double broadcast epoxy flooring effectively meets these stringent local health code requirements.
OCCHD guidelines mandate floor drains in kitchen spaces, dishwashing stations, and other areas prone to spills or equipment drainage, requiring floors to slope approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot toward these drains. Unlike urethane cement, double broadcast epoxy flooring typically necessitates an additional sloping layer to achieve proper drainage compliance. However, double broadcast epoxy flooring integrates seamlessly with required coving—smooth, durable, and sealed bases at least four inches high—to ensure full compliance with OCCHD standards.
