Restaurant epoxy flooring has to handle grease, spills, dragged kegs, and nonstop foot traffic without becoming slick or impossible to clean. Elite Epoxy Charlotte has served Charlotte since 2017, installing and repairing food-service epoxy systems that cure hard, clean fast, and keep kitchens and bars looking professional.
Good restaurant epoxy flooring starts with the slab, not the topcoat. We test concrete for moisture vapor transmission and inspect for oil contamination, old sealers, soft spots, and hollow areas. Prep is done with industrial diamond grinding or shot blasting to reach a CSP profile that matches the system, then we detail cracks and control joints with epoxy gel, polyurea joint filler, or a cementitious patch rated for wet areas. After HEPA vacuuming and edge work, we apply the correct primer (including moisture-mitigating epoxy when needed) so the build coats bond and do not delaminate under hot-water washdowns.
Charlotte kitchens and bars see humidity swings, tracked-in grit, and frequent mop water, so slip resistance and chemical resistance matter as much as gloss. We install 100% solids epoxy in broadcast and self-leveling builds, and we often topcoat with aliphatic polyurethane or polyaspartic for better scratch resistance, UV stability at entryways, and faster return-to-service. In back-of-house areas, we can build a textured quartz or aluminum oxide grip into the wear layer to hit a safer wet coefficient of friction without turning the floor into a dirt trap. Where heat, grease, and thermal shock are constant, we can specify urethane cement (polyurethane concrete) systems that tolerate hot spills and aggressive degreasers better than basic paint-style coatings.
Operators choose us because we understand restaurant schedules, health-code cleaning realities, and the cost of downtime. We plan installs and repairs around closed days and off-hours, set cure timelines in writing, and stage work so walk paths, prep lines, and exits stay workable when possible. You get straightforward system options, from economical clear-coated flake for dining areas to heavy-duty broadcast quartz for kitchens and dish rooms, each selected for traction, chemical exposure, and cleaning method. We are licensed and insured, and our crews show up with the right equipment, from shot blasters and planetary grinders to calibrated squeegees, spike shoes, and moisture meters.
At turnover, we walk the floor with you and confirm texture, sheen, transitions, and drain and cove details before you reopen. You receive a written scope of work, product data on the installed system, care and cleaning guidelines (approved detergents, degreasers to avoid, and pad types), and repair recommendations for high-impact zones like behind the bar and near ice bins. If you called us for damage, we can spot-repair delamination, chips, and worn topcoat, then blend sheen and traction so patched areas do not stand out. The goal is a floor that cleans quickly, looks consistent under lighting, and holds up through service after service.

Many garage floors are completed in 1-2 days depending on prep, crack repair, and the coating system. Commercial projects vary by square footage, cure time, and access, we’ll outline the schedule in your written estimate.
Light foot traffic is often possible within 12-24 hours for fast-cure systems, while vehicle traffic commonly requires 24-72 hours. Actual return-to-service depends on temperature, humidity, and the specific product data sheet.
Sometimes, but only after proper removal or profiling. We typically grind to remove loose material and create a sound surface, then rebuild the system so the new coating bonds to stable concrete.
Yes, when the slab condition indicates elevated moisture risk. We can specify moisture-tolerant primers or barrier coats and detail the system based on the site evaluation.
Common options include full broadcast vinyl flake, metallic epoxy, solid color epoxy, and clear coats in gloss, satin, or matte. We also offer traction additives and chemical-resistant topcoats depending on use.
