Floors in food preparation, storage, warewashing, restroom, and janitorial areas must be smooth, durable, and easy to clean. Flooring materials must not have cracks, pits, crevices, or other defects.

Flooring used in areas exposed to moisture, such as food preparation spaces, warewashing stations, janitorial stations, restrooms, walk-in refrigeration units, and surfaces near sinks and dishwashers, must meet specific standards. These floors must be nonabsorbent and impervious to water, grease, and other liquids. Additionally, floor surfaces in these areas need to be easily cleanable. This requirement helps maintain sanitary conditions and prevents contamination. Flooring materials that absorb moisture or allow liquids to penetrate are not permitted in these locations.

Urethane cement flooring provides an ideal solution for meeting Sacramento’s stringent health code requirements in commercial kitchens and food service areas. Health regulations mandate that flooring in food preparation, storage, warewashing, restroom, and janitorial spaces must be smooth, durable, and easily cleanable, without cracks, pits, or crevices that could harbor contaminants. Additionally, floors in moisture-prone areas must be nonabsorbent and resistant to water, grease, and other liquids. Urethane cement flooring meets these criteria exceptionally well, offering superior durability, seamless installation, and resistance to chemical exposure, heavy foot traffic, and equipment movement. Its seamless, impervious surface ensures effective sanitation, significantly reducing contamination risks and ensuring compliance with Sacramento’s health standards.
Sacramento health codes also require floors in areas prone to moisture or frequent spills to slope toward floor drains at a minimum of 1/8 inch per foot, with a recommended slope of 1/4 inch per foot. Additionally, a continuous cove base with a minimum radius of 3/8 inch is mandated at floor-to-wall junctures in food preparation, warewashing, janitorial, restroom, storage, and refrigeration areas. Urethane cement flooring is highly conducive to these requirements, as it can be precisely installed to achieve the necessary slope for effective drainage and seamlessly integrated with cove bases. This ensures proper water runoff, prevents standing water, and facilitates thorough cleaning.

Double broadcast epoxy flooring is a resin-based flooring system installed by applying two separate layers of epoxy resin, each broadcasted with aggregate to create a durable, slip-resistant surface. Sacramento’s health code regulations mandate that flooring in food preparation, storage, warewashing, restroom, and janitorial areas must be smooth, durable, and easily cleanable, without cracks, pits, or crevices. Double broadcast epoxy flooring effectively meets these local requirements by providing a seamless, impervious surface that prevents contamination and facilitates thorough cleaning.
Additionally, Sacramento health codes require floors in areas prone to moisture or spills to slope toward drains at a minimum of 1/8 inch per foot, with 1/4 inch per foot recommended. While double broadcast epoxy flooring typically requires an additional sloping layer compared to urethane cement systems to achieve proper drainage, it remains fully compatible with mandated continuous cove bases.
