Both grocery stores and supermarkets suffer from one major challenge; they get a ton of foot traffic, and they need to be cleaned quickly and often for the safety of employees and customers. Not many flooring options give you the flexibility of durability and “cleanability”.
Luckily, we specialize in two of the finest commercial flooring options for grocery stores and supermarkets. These flooring solutions can be wiped clean and will have the durability to look beautiful even with a lot of use.
Polished Concrete is Best for Customer-Facing Floors
If you need a commercial flooring option that is as stylish as it is durable, then polished concrete is your best option. Polished concrete gives you the ruggedness found in conventional concrete, but is polished to a sheen that looks beautiful for spaces where customers browse. We recommend two finishing options. Both options benefit from the durability of concrete but can be easily wiped clean.
Medium Sheen Finish
A medium sheen finish is when you really begin to appreciate the splendor of polished concrete. We typically use 800-grit or diamond abrasive to achieve this look. With medium sheen, you begin to get that telltale “reflective” finish seen in highly polished concrete. This looks great in a grocery or supermarket setting.
High Sheen Finish
We can take your polish even further by giving it a “high sheen” finish. This finish gives your polished concrete floor an almost “wet” look. This sophisticated aesthetic is great for showroom floors or grocery stores and supermarkets that want to exude that high-end feeling when their customers browse.
Epoxy Floors Shine in Quick-Cleaning Situations
Don’t get us wrong; a professionally installed epoxy floor can be just as beautiful as polished concrete. However, commercial epoxy flooring is typically emphasized for its rugged durability and ease of cleaning. We recommend epoxy floors for spaces in your grocery store or supermarket that get a lot of use and need to be cleaned frequently, like the back-of-house areas. Think of the in-house bakery space, butcher department, and anything else that gets a lot of employee traffic and will frequently need a quick mopping. We recommend two of our epoxy flooring options for these settings.
Decorative Quartz Epoxy Systems
Quartz systems look high-end without breaking your budget, which can be perfect for spaces that aren’t customer-facing but still want to look high-quality. Furthermore, the quartz additive is non-slip; gone are the hazards of a slippery wet floor!
Cementitious Urethane Epoxy Systems
Yes, we know it’s a mouthful! Cementitious urethane epoxy systems are some of the most ruffed flooring systems we install. They’re great for back-of-house areas that see constant cleaning, like bakeries or butcher shop floors. Best yet, the cement additive in this type of epoxy flooring protects your floors from thermal shock, which is the constant change in temperature from the hot water uses to clean these spaces. If you need an epoxy system that can take a constant beating, then this is the one for you.
Durable, Beautiful Commercial Flooring Can Be Yours
Whether you choose polished concrete or epoxy, we can make you one promise; we’ll install a commercial floor that is both beautiful and functional! We want you to be proud of your flooring investment. Most of all, we want you to know that you’ve invested in floors that are safe for your customers and employees.
