FOOD SERVICE FLOORING

Why Eco-Grip
commercial
kitchen flooring?

A commercial kitchen floor has to perform under conditions that are difficult for ordinary flooring systems: standing water, cooking oils, animal fats, dropped equipment, rolling carts, aggressive cleaning and employees working long shifts on their feet.

Eco-Grip® addresses those conditions with a textured slip-resistant surface, non-porous construction, chemically welded seams, integral cove options and PET-fiber reinforcement. The result is a food service flooring system engineered around the realities of restaurant operations.

For operators evaluating non-slip commercial kitchen flooring or anti-slip commercial kitchen flooring, Eco-Grip combines traction with a resilient anti-fatigue surface designed to provide more comfort underfoot than hard tile and many resinous flooring systems.

COMMERCIAL KITCHEN INSTALLATION

Built around the
way
real kitchens
operate.

Eco-Grip commercial kitchen flooring is engineered around the realities of a busy foodservice environment. Its slip-resistant, non-porous surface performs around cook lines, prep stations, dish areas and heavy equipment—where water, grease, constant foot traffic and frequent cleaning put flooring to the test every day.

ENGINEERED FOR FOOD SERVICE

What matters most
in a commercial kitchen.

Eco-Grip addresses the conditions that directly affect employees, operations and long-term maintenance—from wet-floor traction and durability to anti-fatigue comfort and operational downtime.

Slip Resistance

Eco-Grip's permanently textured surface is engineered to maintain traction in wet, greasy and heavily traveled kitchen environments. For facilities comparing non-slip commercial kitchen flooring and anti-slip commercial kitchen flooring, Eco-Grip provides permanent traction directly across the installed floor.

Less Downtime

Eco-Grip does not require the extended cure periods associated with many poured flooring systems, making phased overnight installation possible in many projects.

Comfort Underfoot

The resilient 6.5 mm construction provides a more forgiving surface underfoot than hard tile and many resinous flooring systems while also helping reduce sound in busy work areas.

Easy to Clean

Eco-Grip's dense non-porous surface eliminates traditional grout joints where grease, moisture and soil can become difficult to maintain.

♻

98% Recycled

Eco-Grip is manufactured using 98% recycled material while delivering heavy-duty commercial performance.

Built for Impact

Random short-staple PET reinforcement helps Eco-Grip withstand dropped equipment, rolling loads, punctures and the repeated abuse of busy commercial kitchens without the brittle cracking associated with many hard flooring materials.

PERFORMANCE IN WET CONDITIONS

Slip resistance where
commercial kitchens need it most.

Cook lines, dish areas, beverage stations and wash-down zones are repeatedly exposed to water, grease and cleaning solution. Eco-Grip's textured surface is designed to provide consistent traction across the same floor employees work on throughout the day.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FLOOR

Commercial Kitchen Flooring Comparison:
Tile vs. Epoxy vs. Sheet Vinyl vs. Eco-Grip®

The differences between commercial kitchen flooring systems become most important after installation—when the floor is exposed to dropped equipment, grease, water, cleaning, repairs and the operational pressure of keeping a kitchen open.

01 / QUARRY & CERAMIC TILE

Hard surface.
Vulnerable joints.

Quarry and ceramic tile are common in commercial kitchens, but the finished floor depends on hundreds of individual tiles and grout joints that are repeatedly exposed to grease, water, impact and aggressive cleaning.

Grout joints can crack, stain and become difficult to maintain
Porous or deteriorated grout joints can collect grime, grease and moisture
Grout lines and damaged joints can create difficult-to-clean areas where bacteria and soil can accumulate
Tile can crack or break when heavy equipment is dropped
Damaged tiles require removal, replacement and grout repair
Hard construction provides little anti-fatigue comfort
02 / EPOXY & RESINOUS

Monolithic finish.
More field variables.

Epoxy is mixed and applied on site, making the finished floor dependent on substrate preparation, mixing, application conditions, pigmentation, texture and curing.

Flakes or aggregate are manually broadcast during installation
Loose aggregate and installation materials can spread throughout the work area during application
Installation may create strong odors and require the kitchen to remain out of service while the system cures
Some systems may experience bubbling, discoloration or ambering over time
Repairs may require specialized resinous flooring contractors
Repair work can require surface preparation, color matching, recoating and additional cure time
03 / TRADITIONAL SHEET VINYL

More prone to
curling and seam failure.

Traditional commercial sheet vinyl can reduce the number of joints compared with tile, but many products are thinner, less reinforced and less dimensionally stable than Eco-Grip, making the floor more vulnerable to movement at seams and edges.

Less dimensional stability can allow sheets to move, curl or pull at the edges
Seams can become vulnerable as the flooring moves or contracts over time
Conventional welds may not provide the same long-term bond strength as SpeedFlex®
Some conventional seam welds can discolor with UV exposure and aging
Weaker seam performance can allow welded areas to lose integrity over repeated commercial use
Reinforcement and material thickness vary widely between conventional sheet flooring products
04 / ECO-GRIP®

Designed around
demanding kitchens.

Eco-Grip combines resilient 6.5 mm construction, random short-staple PET reinforcement, textured traction, built-in antimicrobial protection and chemically welded SpeedFlex® seams.

No traditional grout joints to crack, stain or collect grime
Resilient construction will not crack or break like brittle tile
Built-in antimicrobial additives help protect the flooring material from mold and mildew
Random short-staple PET fibers reinforce the flooring and improve dimensional stability
SpeedFlex® creates a strong, UV-stable chemically welded seam between adjoining sheets
Anti-fatigue comfort and sound reduction for busy work areas
Sections can often be installed overnight with less operational disruption
Damaged areas can typically be replaced locally and chemically welded back into the floor
VS. TILE

No grout. No brittle tile.

Eco-Grip eliminates traditional grout joints where grease, moisture, grime and bacteria can accumulate. Its resilient construction will not crack or break like brittle quarry or ceramic tile when exposed to dropped-equipment impact.

VS. EPOXY

Less disruption during installation.

Eco-Grip avoids onsite resin mixing, manual aggregate broadcasting and the extended cure periods associated with many epoxy systems. Many projects can be completed in sections overnight without shutting down the entire kitchen.

VS. SHEET VINYL

More stable. Stronger seams.

Random short-staple PET fibers reinforce Eco-Grip and help resist the movement, curling and edge lift that can affect less dimensionally stable sheet flooring. SpeedFlex® creates a strong, UV-stable chemically welded seam designed to resist discoloration and maintain the integrity of adjoining sheets over time.

REPAIRS

Replace the damaged section.

If Eco-Grip is damaged, the affected area can typically be removed, replaced and chemically welded into the surrounding floor without recoating the entire installation or waiting through an extended resin cure period.

The difference is how the entire system performs in a working kitchen.

Compared with tile, Eco-Grip eliminates traditional grout joints, will not crack or break like brittle tile, and provides a resilient anti-fatigue surface with built-in antimicrobial protection. Compared with epoxy, Eco-Grip avoids onsite resin mixing, aggregate broadcasting, strong installation odors and extended cure periods while offering a more standardized localized repair process. Compared with conventional sheet vinyl, Eco-Grip adds random short-staple PET reinforcement for greater dimensional stability and SpeedFlex® chemical welding for strong, UV-stable seams designed to resist discoloration and maintain their integrity over time.

COMMERCIAL KITCHEN FLOORING FAQ

Common questions
before a project begins.

Can Eco-Grip be installed over an existing floor?

Yes. Eco-Grip can be installed over many existing tile, epoxy and concrete substrates when the existing surface is sound, properly bonded and correctly prepared for installation.

Existing tile can often remain in place when the majority of the floor is intact and securely bonded. Loose or damaged areas are repaired or removed and the surface is prepared before Eco-Grip is installed.

Existing epoxy may also be used as a substrate when it is well bonded and properly prepared. Concrete substrates should be structurally sound, smooth, dry and prepared to the requirements of the flooring installation, including proper drainage and slope where required.

Because substrate conditions vary from project to project, the existing floor should always be evaluated before installation begins.

Can a restaurant stay open during Eco-Grip installation?

In many cases, yes. Eco-Grip can be installed in sections overnight, allowing crews to complete one area at a time and helping facilities avoid the extended shutdown associated with many conventional flooring replacement projects.

How do you clean Eco-Grip commercial kitchen floors?

Remove loose debris, apply the recommended cleaning solution, scrub the textured surface and recover or rinse away loosened soil and grease. Visit our Cleaning & Maintenance page for complete procedures.

Does Eco-Grip work around commercial kitchen drains?

Yes. Eco-Grip installations can be detailed around commercial drainage systems using the appropriate drain transitions and SpeedFlex® chemical welding.

Is Eco-Grip easier to repair than tile or epoxy flooring?

Eco-Grip is designed to allow localized repairs when a section of flooring becomes damaged. The affected area can typically be cut out, replaced with new Eco-Grip and chemically welded into the surrounding floor using SpeedFlex®.

Tile repairs generally involve removing and replacing individual tiles, repairing the setting material and restoring the surrounding grout joints.

Epoxy repairs may require surface preparation, specialized resinous flooring contractors, color and texture matching, recoating and additional cure time.

Does Eco-Grip require floor mats?

No. Eco-Grip is designed to provide traction directly across the installed flooring surface while its resilient construction provides anti-fatigue comfort.
