Floor Finish for Hospitality
THE EPIC® SOLUTION
FOR Hotels, Restaurants, & Event Centers
First impressions are very powerful.
People notice when a building is clean, and this is especially true in hotels, restaurants, and any space intended to feel welcoming to the public. If a facility’s floors have lost their shine, show wear patterns, are dirty, have yellowed, or are marked up by scuffs and scratches, guests will take this as a sign of poor upkeep or even contamination. By transforming troublesome floors and maintaining their shine with EPIC High-Performance Floor Finish, the facility is most likely to leave a positive first impression on its patrons. Are you ready for the best floor finish for the hospitality industry? Read on!
SAFETY AS A TOP PRIORITY
Anyone that has checked into a hotel or restaurant when it is raining or snowing knows that lobbies and entrances can be some of the most dangerous areas of a building. Both finished and unfinished floors are often slippery when wet and pose a health hazard to patrons and employees. Additionally, these types of scenarios can be a major liability to the building owner. Luckily, EPIC ensures building safety by preventing slippery floors (and painful falls) with the use of its fine or coarse traction additives, Ultra Grip and UDT Aggregate Additive.
Getting the certification meant a lot to the Supervisor I sent to St. Cloud to get certified. He and the crew who got the training locally valued the investment we made to develop their skills. It was a good investment. The floors they applied your product to look great, and we saved a lot of money in reduced maintenance costs over the long term.”

IMPROVED INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ) & PREVENTION OF ODOR
EPIC contains low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), making it safe to use even in occupied spaces. It also removes buffing from the floor care regimen—a harmful process that degrades indoor air quality. Buffing propels chemicals, dust particles, viruses, and bacteria into the air from the floor, creating a health hazard. By simplifying maintenance, EPIC prevents those particles from entering the air and helps maintain cleaner, healthier indoor environments.
Maintenance staff often struggle to clean tile and grout floors because unsealed tile restroom floors trap foul-smelling contaminants in grout pores. EPIC solves this issue by restoring tiled surfaces to a better-than-new condition and creating a non-porous barrier. It blocks out odor-causing agents like urine and bacteria, keeping restrooms consistently fresh and odor-free.
EXTREME DURABILITY WITH MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
In addition to eliminating buffing, EPIC also completely removes the need for stripping and waxing. Users can clean EPIC-coated surfaces with just an auto scrubber or a microfiber mop and a gentle detergent, plain water, or any preferred cleaner or sanitizer. In high-traffic areas, users only need to apply one recoat every 3–5 years, and they can complete it in as little as 4 hours—making maintenance scheduling much easier. Simply put, switching to EPIC saves increasing amounts of time, energy, and money, which users can redirect toward other priorities.
EPIC bonds directly to resilient flooring, tile and grout, terrazzo, and concrete. It also delivers extreme chemical and stain resistance. Users can even customize EPIC’s abrasion resistance to meet specific slip-resistance and cleanability standards. Because it adheres to surfaces and fills all gaps to form a seamless membrane, EPIC makes cleaning and sanitizing effortless.
A SUSTAINABLE SHINE
UDT’s EPIC High-Performance Floor Finish will rejuvenate and extend the life of any flooring while minimizing material waste and labor hours! One coat of EPIC is crystal clear, looks better than 5 coats of wax, and lasts an average of 3-5 years. That means that over 10 years, only 2 or 3 recoats of EPIC are required compared to an average 20-30 recoats of acrylic. Plus, instead of stripping between recoats, floors can simply be screened then coated. EPIC truly supports sustainability by keeping the wax and chemical stripper out of our ecosystem.
