Do you need urethane cement flooring, or will something lighter do?

We install urethane cement flooring in Brownsville, TX for commercial kitchens, food plants and other floors that take a beating every day. It's a troweled blend of Portland cement, a urethane polymer and graded aggregate, sized grit that adds grip and wear strength, and it cures over your concrete into one floor with no joints or seams.

Most calls about this floor come from people running a restaurant kitchen, a food plant or a shop floor that's wearing through, and some come from homeowners who heard it's the toughest floor around and want it in the garage. What moves the price is the size of the floor, how much grinding and crack repair your slab needs and whether you want a cove base, where the floor curves up onto the wall. The schedule turns on that same prep, on what has to be moved out first and, for a business, on how long you can stay closed. When I come out, I look at the slab, ask how you use the space and write up what I'd do and why, including whether plain epoxy floor coatings would do the job instead.

How we put down a urethane cement floor

This is a heavy floor built for kitchens and plants, and in a home garage it's usually more than you need, so I'll tell you when plain epoxy does the job for less. When it is the right floor, the job goes in order. I check the slab first, because prep is where floors fail and I'd rather tell you now if your concrete can't hold this system. Before the crew shows up, we tell you what has to come out of the room so nobody's guessing that morning. Our crew grinds or blasts the concrete to a clean, open surface so the new floor bonds to it, then fills the cracks, though one flooring maker warns that cracks and joints that move can still show through the finished floor, so I'll point those out before we start. Then we trowel on the mix, run the cove base up the walls if you want one and let it cure into a single floor before we clean up and walk it with you.

Some buildings need more than one kind of floor. If the dining room or front counter next to your kitchen should look finished instead of coated, polished concrete flooring gives you a hard, glossy slab with no coating to wear off, and stained concrete flooring puts color into the concrete itself. I can plan where each floor starts and stops when I look at the space.

Urethane cement for kitchens and plants

It suits commercial kitchens, food processing rooms and other floors that see heavy carts, spills and washdowns every day. If part of the floor sits in direct sun, one maker says its urethane cement won't keep its color without a UV resistant topcoat, a top layer that resists sunlight, so I'll raise that up front.

Epoxy for home garages and workshops

For a home garage or a basement workshop, I'll usually steer you to epoxy, because urethane cement is more floor than that space needs. You still get a hard, easy-to-clean coated floor, and you keep the money you'd have spent on the heavier system.

I check your slab before you get a plan

I'm the one who comes out to look at the job and check the slab, so the person writing your plan has actually seen your concrete. Our crew lead and installers handle the prep and the install, and I stop by while the work is going on.

Prep-first floor work since 2020

I spent years scheduling crews for a busy company and watched them get sent to floors nobody had looked at first. So I learned the trade on grinders and coating crews and started this business in 2020. Prep still comes first on every floor we put down.

What a Brownsville remodel means for your urethane cement floor

If your new floor is part of a remodel or a new build, the city's Building Permits and Inspections Division handles the permit and reviews the plans. Whether a floor by itself needs a permit is a question for that office, so we check with them before work starts, and if your job needs one, we tell you and work through the paperwork with you. The city's plan review checklist asks for a finish schedule listing the floor finish and base coving for each room, so it pays to settle on urethane cement or epoxy before plans go in. The division inspects the permits it issues when you ask for an inspection, so you set that step up with the city.

Around Brownsville, the calls for this floor tend to come from restaurant kitchens and food businesses that can't afford to stay closed long, plus homeowners who want the toughest floor they can get for a garage or patio. We do the same work in Harlingen, San Benito and other cities around Brownsville, so call and ask if you're nearby.

Questions Brownsville owners ask about urethane cement

Is urethane cement flooring worth it for a home garage in Brownsville?

Usually not, because one flooring guide calls it overkill for home garages, basement workshops and light retail, where standard epoxy works fine at a fraction of the cost. If your garage slab stays damp, that can change the answer. I'll look at your garage and tell you which one I'd put down.

Can urethane cement flooring go over damp concrete?

It usually handles damp concrete better than epoxy does, since one flooring guide says standard epoxy needs expensive moisture primers on wetter slabs. For a slab that stays damp, that can make urethane cement the simpler match. Tell us about any damp spots when you reach out, and I'll check the slab when I come out.

How long does urethane cement flooring last, and what upkeep does it need?

Installed properly, it lasts 15 to 25 years in commercial service with no sealing or recoating, while epoxy often needs a recoat at year 5 to 8, according to one flooring guide. Upkeep is daily sweeping and wet mopping with a neutral-pH detergent, plus a yearly look at the cove base joints where the floor meets the wall. For you, that means fewer repeat jobs over the life of the floor.

How much does urethane cement flooring cost in Brownsville?

It costs more than epoxy, and one flooring guide is plain that it isn't cheap or a do-it-yourself job, so plan on hiring a crew and budgeting for a premium floor. The size of your floor and the shape your slab is in set the rest. I write up what I'd do and why after I've seen it, so you're comparing a real plan.

How long does urethane cement installation take for a commercial kitchen?

One flooring guide puts a typical commercial kitchen or food processing space at 5 to 7 working days, following a strict sequence of steps. One maker also sets air temperature and humidity limits while its floor goes down and cures, so ask us how we schedule around them. For a business, we plan the sequence with you ahead of time so you know what happens each day and how long to plan on being closed.
