Problem

The Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center (MWEPC) boasts one of the nation’s oldest culinary programs. Aiming to create a premier learning environment, MWEPC recognized the need for flooring that could endure the rigors of a commercial kitchen while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of their event space.

Covering a massive 42,000 square feet while simultaneously addressing leveling and crack issues presented a significant challenge for Floor Poxy.

Solution

Starting with the concrete slab, the installation process included a coat of FPX 1200 or Vapor Seal Epoxy Primer, followed by two coats of FPX 1200/3300/3100 Epoxy broadcasted with S Grade Color Quartz. A fill coat of FPX 3100/3300 was applied next. Optionally, a final topcoat of FPX 9510/9700 was added, with the recommendation to read individual product information sheets before deciding upon a system. Additionally, for an integral seal at the joint between the floor and the wall, FPX 3100COVE can be used, as detailed in the individual data sheet.

The demanding conditions of a culinary training kitchen made FloorPoxy Quartz System the ideal choice. Its exceptional resistance to spills, acids, and harsh cleaning agents, combined with its seamless, slip-resistant, and durable surface, made it the perfect fit for the space.
