As the school year winds down, maintenance crews prepare a rigorous schedule of repairs, restorations, and new additions during the school downtime period. It’s the optimal time to take on flooring projects – with minimal foot traffic on campus.
At Black Bear, we partner with public and independent primary and secondary schools, as well as universities to provide new flooring solutions. Cafeterias and dining halls are a common space that requires more frequent repair and presents a specific set of challenges. We find that epoxy and urethane products work well in this environment.
Kitchens, Cafeterias, Dining Halls & Break Rooms
Commercial kitchens and dining areas are subject to various stressors that need to be addressed prior to the installation of any floor system. This is the only way to engineer the right solution that will last longer and maintain the safety of staff and students.
Compliance and regulatory agencies assess the integrity of a school cafeteria’s flooring. Any chips, cracks, stains, or mold are red flags that indicate safety hazards and compromise the health and well-being of those on the property. Epoxy and urethane topcoats are ideal due to their durability and customization that can withstand the stressors of the food and beverage industry.
Wet Spaces: Damp spaces and faucet runoff can produce dangerous mold, and erode and buckle flooring. Seamless water resistant solutions are preferred to avoid frequent damage.
Fridge/Freezer/Heat Sources: Shock resistant flooring is required to counter-act the extreme temperature changes can destroy floors.
Foot Traffic & Tire Tread: The weight of food pallets, constant foot traffic, and moveable storage will wear a floor down over time. A durable solution is needed to withstand daily impact.
Sanitization: Working with raw materials and food byproducts require regular sanitization. Harsh chemicals can erode flooring, however epoxy or urethane solutions with chemical resistance will protect the space from commercial cleansers.
