Skip to content When a global leader in plant-based protein needed a high-performance solution for their South Korean facility, they chose High Performance Systems for the second time. As specialized commercial kitchen flooring contractors, we don’t just apply coatings; we collaborate on the engineering, beginning with the concrete pour to ensure a lifelong bond that exceeds USDA and FDA compliance.
The Process: Our epoxy floor contractors utilize mechanical shotblasting to create a deep, porous profile. This allows our urethane cement flooring to “anchor” into the slab.
Thermal Expansion: Unlike standard epoxy, urethane cement has an expansive quality similar to concrete. This eliminates concerns about peeling or delamination when exposed to the high-heat washdowns common in industrial food processing.
Keying the Perimeter: We maintain a consistent urethane concrete floor thickness by “keying” the perimeter—a critical step that ensures edges never lift or chip under heavy forklift or cart traffic.
The Five-Man Rule: This product cures rapidly. We deploy a specialized five-man team to ensure a continuous “wet edge” during application, eliminating cold joints and ridges that harbor bacteria. This rule is what makes the leading kitchen floor contractor in the area.
Seamless Transitions: By masking every edge and integrating cove bases, we create a seamless “bathtub” finish that makes sanitation audits effortless.
A qualified contractor should have extensive experience with food-grade resinous systems like urethane cement. They must understand local health department codes, USDA/FDA requirements, and be able to provide specialized features like integrated cove bases to ensure a fully sanitary environment.
Experience with antimicrobial resinous systems and a deep understanding of local health codes. Since 1988, we have focused on systems that handle thermal shock and heavy chemical exposure.
We utilize fast-cure urethane cement slurries and manage our own logistics to ensure that your production floor is back in service in hours, not days.
We use gauge rakes to control the exact thickness of the slurry, followed by back-rolling with porcupine rollers to eliminate air traps, ensuring a solid, durable base.
In kitchens where hot liquids are regularly discharged or floors are steam-cleaned, contractors install urethane cement systems. These professionals ensure the material is applied at the correct thickness (usually 1/4 inch or more) to withstand the rapid temperature changes that would cause standard epoxy to peel or crack.
