In a commercial kitchen, the demands on kitchen flooring are immense. When it comes to potential dangers, commercial kitchens are no different. As a result, you must select a material that is long-lasting, water- and stain-resistant, and simple to maintain. Kitchens should also match or compliment the front-of-house flooring and decor when they are visible to the public. Commercial kitchen flooring, on the other hand, must be sanitary and meet local health and building code standards.
Commercial kitchen flooring is not only important for the health and safety of your workers and consumers, but it may also have a significant impact on your bottom line. Before choosing a solution, it’s important to know the options that are available; the main three being resin flooring, ceramic tiles, and commercial vinyl flooring.
Resin flooring is used in a wide range of industries, including food production and automobile manufacturing. It has excellent hygiene and anti-skid qualities are simple to keep clean and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. PMMA, polyurethane (PU), and epoxy are the three most common forms of resin flooring.
Ceramic tiles, on the other hand, have stain and scratch resistance and provide a distinctive look. They are, however, extremely hard underfoot, difficult to install, and susceptible to poorer hygiene and slip prevention. Grout failure is a typical issue, and it often results in germs being harboured as well as floor failure. Ceramic tiles can’t be used for industrial kitchen flooring because they are permeable and allow germs and bacteria to accumulate.
Vinyl flooring is the cheapest option but will need replacing the soonest, as it cannot be repaired. It’s not an environmentally-friendly option either, with Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) used in its production and worn-out materials often ending up in landfills.
Choosing flooring materials is only half the battle; installation is just as essential. TopCoat Services USA in Hyannis has installed more than 3500 commercial kitchen floors in the United States. We’ll share a few helpful hints from our team here.
“From the start, Topcoat Services have been accommodating and professional. Their work is superior and for minor corrections/warranty work, they have been prompt. We would give them our highest recommendation.”
Jason Williams, Senior Field Contracting Officer
“I experienced problems for years with my existing flooring in my restaurant kitchen. I tried several different styles to repair the damages but no success. Joe Hunter from TopCoat Services came in and gave me an estimate and we removed the whole floor and covered the entire kitchen within the expected time and cost. The floor was dried and covered within 24 hours ready for the next day. 1 year later the floor looks as good as it did the first day. I would recommend their service for any professional kitchen with moisture issues.”
