High-volume kitchens in the Midlands

Columbia is home to the University of South Carolina, with more than 30,000 students, and Fort Jackson, the Army’s largest basic training installation. Between campus dining, military dining facilities and restaurants in the Vista and Five Points, the Midlands has a lot of kitchens that serve thousands of meals a day.

Columbia’s summers are famously hot (the city recorded 113°F in 2012) and humid, which means sweaty walk-ins, wet entrances and floors that never quite dry. Protect-All does not absorb water, resists mildew and has no grout lines to break down.

South Carolina retail food establishments are regulated under Regulation 61-25, which moved from DHEC to the SC Department of Agriculture on July 1, 2024.

How a project runs

From walk-through to back in service

Site assessment

We walk the space, measure, check the slab or subfloor and note drains, thresholds and equipment that has to move.

Clear scope

You get a written scope: install system, color, cove base, drain rings, schedule and price. No guesswork on install night.

Install

Our factory-trained crew preps the substrate, sets Protect-All in urethane adhesive and welds the seams. Most kitchens are scheduled around closed hours.

Back to work

Rapid Weld seams take foot traffic in about 20 to 30 minutes; the adhesive reaches normal traffic in roughly 12 hours.
