Project Description
Commercial Kitchen Flooring in Holland Food & Beverage Facility
APPLICATION: Like most kitchens, this commercial kitchen flooring in Holland presented a lot of challenges and requirements. The large area acts as a commissary kitchen for a large number of restaurants in a popular West Michigan chain. This means that it is in high demand, and subject to high traffic. In addition to needing to hold up to rigorous use, the floor had an existing coating that needed to be removed. Lastly, the floor needed to be returned to service quickly.
In preparation to be coated, the existing coating was removed by diamond grinding. Upon completion, a shotblaster was run to give the floor the proper surface profile for long term adhesion.
Xtreme installed our V-8 HD-PC system in this area because the 1/4″ thickness can handle the high traffic and abuse. Furthermore, the heavy duty polyurethane concrete system can handle the thermal shock that commercial kitchen floors experience during cleaning, and spills from fryers. This is in contrast to how epoxy and other coatings handle such rapid temperature shifts in the concrete.

Why hire Xtreme as your contractor for commercial kitchen flooring in Holland?
Equipment –
Polyurethane concrete floors in commercial kitchens require extensive preparation to the concrete substrate to ensure long lasting results.
First, any existing flooring including quarry tiles, coatings, dairy brick, and any other flooring needs to be removed. It’s important to note that removing existing flooring in commercial kitchens can be a difficult task without the proper equipment.
Second, any remaining grout or glue is removed from the surface. For this reason, Xtreme has a large fleet of diamond grinders to grind any remaining imperfections from the concrete floor.
Third, once the concrete substrate is clean and free from any oils, fats, dirt, and other debris it is prepped for proper adhesion of the coating. To elaborate, prep is typically done by shotblasting or diamond grinding depending on the system being installed. Shotblasting is required for long term results when installing a thicker heavy duty floor, like this 1/4″ HD-PC floor.
Hiring Xtreme as your commercial kitchen flooring contractor means you’re not only hiring our experienced crews, but also our fleet of equipment. To emphasize, we have invested well over a million dollars into concrete prep equipment. Having the right equipment allows our crews to not only complete teh project properly and to spec, but also to complete it quickly and get the area back in service.
