Heat-rated urethane cement flooring for restaurant kitchens, food prep rooms, dish stations and back-of-house areas, made for hot-water washdown, grease and constant wet traffic.
We take care of everything: the measured quote, scheduling and the final walkthrough with you.
Who it's for
Restaurants, cafes, bakeries, caterers, and school, church and event center kitchens all put a floor through the same daily punishment: hot oil and grease, spilled food and drinks, hot-water and steam cleaning, and heavy, wet foot traffic for hours at a time.
Standard garage-style epoxy is not built for that. For commercial kitchens, Shinova Shine quotes a urethane cement system, a different, heat-rated floor made for food service conditions.
Options
Urethane cement is a cement-based polyurethane flooring. It goes down thicker than a typical epoxy coating and is formulated for the conditions a kitchen floor sees every day.
Heat
Fryers, ovens, hot pans and hot-water or steam cleaning expose the floor to heat and to fast swings in temperature. Standard epoxy can soften, discolor, crack or lift under that kind of repeated thermal shock. Urethane cement is designed to handle much higher temperatures and rapid changes.
Washdown
Kitchens are mopped and hosed down with hot water every day, and water finds every seam. A seamless floor, often finished with a cove base where it meets the walls, leaves fewer places for water and grime to collect. Urethane cement is also generally more tolerant of moisture in the slab than standard epoxy.
Grease
Animal fats, cooking oil, sugars, vinegar, citrus and cleaning chemicals break down many floor finishes and soak into bare concrete. Urethane cement is built to resist them, and a textured finish helps footing on a wet, greasy floor.
Prep & process
We look at the existing floor, drains, slopes, equipment and any failing tile or coating, and ask about your hours and closures.
Your quote covers removal, prep, the urethane cement system, texture and cove base where needed, with a schedule built around your closures.
Old coatings or damaged surfaces are removed and the concrete is prepared and repaired, with care around drains and transitions.
The urethane cement system is installed and textured. We walk it with you and confirm when the kitchen can reopen.
What to expect
The honest part: a kitchen floor is only as good as the slab and the drains around it. If we find slope, drain or slab problems during the site visit, we will tell you up front and explain your options before anything is scheduled.

Local
From restaurants around the courthouse squares in Newnan and Fayetteville to cafes on Senoia's Main Street and kitchens along the busy roads through Peachtree City, Sharpsburg and Tyrone, food service floors here face the same things: Georgia heat, humidity and long, hot shifts.
We take kitchen floor requests across Coweta County and nearby Fayette County. Request a quote with the size of the kitchen and your best days to close, and we will plan from there.
FAQ
Standard epoxy works well in garages and many commercial spaces, but kitchens add heat, thermal shock from hot-water and steam cleaning, and constant grease. Over time those conditions can make standard epoxy soften, discolor, crack or lift. Heat-rated urethane cement is built for them, which is why we quote it for kitchens.
It is a cement-based polyurethane flooring system. It goes down thicker than a typical floor coating, cures into a dense, seamless surface and is formulated to handle heat, moisture, fats, oils and many food acids and cleaning chemicals.
It is usually finished with texture for footing on wet, greasy floors. The amount of texture is a balance between grip and how easy the floor is to clean, and we talk through the right level for each area of your kitchen.
Yes. Equipment that can move is moved, and fixed equipment, floor drains and trench drains are worked around and detailed in the scope. Tell us what is fixed in place when you request a quote.
It depends on the size of the kitchen, the removal and prep needed, and the conditions on install day. You get a realistic schedule with your written quote, planned around your slowest days or a planned closure.
Food service floors generally need to be smooth, durable, nonabsorbent and easy to clean, and urethane cement systems are designed with that in mind. Requirements vary, so check with your local health department and landlord and share any specific rules with us so the scope matches.
