Integral Epoxy Cove Base
Integral cove base curves the floor up the wall so there is no corner for dirt, grease or water to hide. It is the sanitary edge kitchens, food plants and cleanrooms need.
What Is Integral Epoxy Cove Base?
A seamless cove is troweled from resin mortar and tied into the floor, so floor and wall become one continuous surface. Mops and squeegees reach everything, and nothing seeps behind a glued-on base.
We install cove over drywall, concrete or block, and match it to the floor system: epoxy, urethane cement or MMA. Inside and outside corners, door returns and equipment are detailed by hand. It is a common fix when a health inspection flags the floor-to-wall detail.

Why It Matters
No corners to clean
A smooth curve where the floor meets the wall leaves nothing to trap residue or bacteria.
One piece with the floor
Cove is tied into the floor coating, so water cannot get behind it like a glued-on base.
Matches your floor
Epoxy, urethane cement and MMA floors each get a matching cove.
Detailed by hand
Corners, door frames, drains and equipment legs are troweled carefully for a clean finish.
Fixes inspection issues
Replaces failed or unsuitable base that has been flagged during a health inspection.

Restaurant Pump Room — Health Inspection Failure to Integrated Cove Base Build
A local restaurant failed its health inspection because the pump room behind the kitchen had no integrated cove base — the floor met the wall in an open seam, letting wash water run straight into the sheetrock. We tore out the failing floor, built a true integrated cove base up the wall, and coated the entire room — floor and cove — in a single seamless epoxy system that passes inspection and stays watertight.

FAQ
Integral Epoxy Cove Base Questions
How much does epoxy cove base cost?
Integral cove base typically runs about $15 per linear foot. Wall condition, height and the number of corners, drains and penetrations confirm the final number.
Is integral cove the same as rubber or vinyl base?
No. Rubber and vinyl base are glued on, leaving a seam where water and grime collect. Integral cove is formed from resin and bonded to the floor, so the transition from floor to wall is one continuous piece.
Can cove base fix a health-inspection issue?
It can correct an unsuitable floor-to-wall detail, which is a common inspection finding in kitchens. Final acceptance is up to your local inspector, and we build to the requirements you have been given.
Can you add cove to an existing floor?
Often, yes. We check the wall, the existing floor bond and moisture, remove failed base and tie the new cove into the floor. Sometimes the floor needs work too, and we will tell you on the site walk.
Where is integral cove used?
Commercial kitchens, food and beverage plants, pharmaceutical and cleanroom spaces, healthcare, pump rooms and anywhere floors get washed down or cleaned hard. If water hits the floor regularly, cove is usually worth it.
