When considering options for the best commercial kitchen floor to install, there are a lot of things to consider. Probably at the top of the list is finding a floor that meets USDA and FDA safety standards to avoid failing inspections and paying costly fines. The other main concern we are asked about is how quick the turnaround can be for installation? We can work with several scheduling options to avoid shut downs and even minimize downtime as much as possible, because if your kitchen is closed, you aren’t making money.

Keeping employees and customers safe in your establishment keeps business running smoothly. Floors are an integral part of that. When you have a busy kitchen, it is imperative to prevent small safety hazards such as tripping and slipping; plus having a high performance floor that drains properly, cleans easily and will perform for years. This is a simple answer to long term cost savings and ease of operation. Having exposed concrete, an old resinous floor that is spalding or chipping, broken quarry tile or deteriorating grout lines opens the opportunity for safety and contamination, through harboring dirt and bacteria, to become an issue. Installing a seamless floor system in a commercial kitchen prevents these problems from happening.

Integrating a cove base option with a seamless floor fixes many typical problems as well. When FRP and stainless is peeling away from the wall or when another base is being used, those situations create many more opportunities for water saturation to create a mold growth environment in addition to creating spaces for dirt and bacteria to hide. By installing a seamless floor with and integral cove base a monolithic tie is created between the floor and base going 4-6 inches up the wall which makes it much easier to keep clean and pass health inspections.

In addition to the functionality required for a commercial kitchen floors, the challenge with restaurant floors are that they need to be both decorative and functional. You have the task of creating a dining experience for customers while making sure you meet all USDA and FDA safety standards. That’s no easy task. Fortunately, we have several flooring options to offer that look great and meet or exceed all safety standards. Restaurants we have worked with have used stained concrete, polished concrete or a colored quartz broadcast for decorative options. We will work with you to figure out which system will work best for your situation.
