When it comes to commercial kitchen flooring, selecting the ideal option is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics. The leading slip-resistant flooring options for commercial kitchens include sealed commercial vinyl, non-slip epoxy P5 finish, and polyurethane cement. To determine the most suitable flooring for your commercial kitchen or food preparation area, consider these three essential factors:
The current condition of the floor and the type of substrate (concrete or timber, such as yellow tongue or chipboard)
The intensity of kitchen usage and the food preparation process
The cleaning regimen implemented in the kitchen
Before making a decision, it is important to address these factors and provide clear responses to the questions they raise.
Timber Substrate: If your kitchen's substrate is timber, epoxy and polyurethane cement flooring systems are not suitable options. The best choice for timber substrates is commercial vinyl R12 slip-rated flooring. However, note that vinyl cannot be installed directly over timber. Instead, floor preparation with Masonite or specified plywood is necessary.
Concrete Substrate: If your kitchen has a concrete substrate, you can consider all the slip-resistant flooring options mentioned above. The most appropriate choice will depend on your cleaning regimen, which is determined by the kitchen's usage intensity.
In busy commercial kitchens with many employees cooking and using large pots, cleaning may require a bucket wash or pressure washing. While vinyl can handle bucket washing, epoxy and polyurethane cement floors are better options due to these advantages:
A. Correctly applied epoxy or polyurethane cement floors last longer, minimising repairs and costly downtime.
B. Properly installed commercial epoxy and polyurethane cement floors can be pressure washed, as they're waterproof and water-resistant.
To uphold cleanliness, choose slip-resistant floors that enable effortless cleaning and reduce accident risks. Opting for a reputable company that offers both supply and installation services can save you time and ensure high-quality results.
For food business owners, selecting low-cost flooring may result in higher expenses over time. Consider the expenses incurred when replacing flooring, such as employee wages, equipment removal, property rent, and cleaning costs. Investing in a high-quality, slip-resistant flooring system from the beginning can save time and money in the future.
