Commercial Restaurant Floor Upfit in Blacksburg, SC

800-Grit Polished Concrete in Dining and Bar — Double Broadcast Quartz in Kitchen, Coolers, and Back of House

Blastek Concrete Designs completed a full commercial floor upfit for El Vaquerito Cocina Mexicana in Blacksburg, South Carolina — a dual-system install that gave the restaurant exactly the right floor for each zone of the building. In the dining room and bar area, Blastek installed an 800-grit polished concrete finish with a grout coat to fill pinholes and surface voids before polishing — delivering a smooth, reflective, restaurant-grade floor that handles daily foot traffic, spills, and the visual demands of a designed dining environment.


The 800-grit finish provides the refined, low-maintenance appearance that front-of-house spaces need and the durability that comes with mechanically polished concrete: no coatings to peel, no sealers to strip, just a hardened, densified surface that gets easier to maintain over time. In the kitchen, cooler rooms, and back-of-house areas, Blastek specified a double broadcast quartz system in standard gray — a completely different finish built for a completely different environment. Back-of-house floors take abuse that front-of-house floors never see: commercial kitchen equipment, grease and chemical exposure, heavy foot traffic from staff, and the slip-resistance requirements that come with a food-service environment.


The double broadcast quartz system delivers the texture, grip, and chemical resistance those areas demand, while the standard gray color keeps the space clean and professional. Two zones, two finish systems, one contractor who understood what each part of the restaurant actually needed.
