Engineered Urethane Cement Systems for Seamless Sanitation and Extreme Durability.

Standard epoxy isn’t enough for the rigors of a modern food processing facility. At High Performance Systems, we provide industrial-grade urethane concrete chemistry designed to withstand thermal shock, heavy traffic, and the harshest chemical sanitizers.

Critical Engineering: Why Drain Preparation Defines Floor Life

  • The Problem: Drains are the #1 point of failure in industrial kitchens. Deteriorated substrates around drains lead to liquid infestation and bacterial growth.

  • The HPS Solution: We don’t just coat over existing surfaces. For a recent wholesale pizza production facility, we removed old school brick tile to create a deep “keyway” around all drainage.

  • Precision Prep: Maintaining consistent thickness at the perimeter is non-negotiable. Our mechanical preparation ensures a tenacious bond that prevents the edges from lifting, even under constant hot-water washdowns.

The HPS Difference: Engineering for a Lifetime of Compliance of Industrial Kitchen Flooring

Choosing the right industrial kitchen flooring is an investment in your facility’s future. At High Performance Systems, we understand that a floor is only as good as its weakest point—which is why we focus on the “unseen” details like mechanical shotblasting, perimeter keying, and precision drain integration.

Whether you are managing a local NJ restaurant or a global food processing plant, our urethane cement systems provide the thermal shock resistance and antimicrobial protection required to pass every audit. Since 1988, we have been the trusted partner for facilities that cannot afford downtime or floor failure.

FAQs About Industrial Kitchen Flooring

Why is urethane cement preferred over epoxy in industrial kitchens?

While epoxy is durable, industrial kitchens face extreme temperature swings (thermal shock) from commercial ovens and walk-in freezers. Urethane cement has a thermal expansion coefficient similar to concrete, allowing it to expand and contract without cracking or losing its bond, unlike standard epoxy.

Traditional tile floors have grout lines that act as breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, and grease buildup. A seamless liquid flooring system eliminates these joints, creating a non-porous surface that is much easier to sanitize and meets strict USDA and FDA requirements.

Yes. One of the primary advantages of these systems is the ability to install an integral cove base. This creates a smooth, curved transition from the floor to the wall, ensuring that water and food debris cannot get trapped in 90-degree corners, which simplifies wash-downs.

Yes. Industrial kitchen flooring is specifically engineered to resist chemical degradation from animal fats, hot oils, and the aggressive enzymatic cleaners or degreasers used during nightly sanitation cycles.

Many urethane cement systems are “fast-cure” options. This allows for a quick turnaround—sometimes overnight or during a weekend—to minimize downtime for the facility. This is critical for 24/7 food processing plants or high-volume restaurants that cannot afford long closures.
