There are several options for commercial flooring for kitchens but many companies within the hospitality sector are now looking to replace their vinyl and tiled floors with a resin flooring solution.
Although resin flooring is typically more expensive than vinyl flooring on a first-fit cost basis, it offers enhanced longevity, often making it more cost effective over a life cycle period. Vinyl floors are fitted with welded seams, and these are a common area for failure. Once these seams start to fail the floor can curl, creating concerns around hygiene and safety.
Resin flooring creates an exceptionally strong bond to a wide range of substrates, which helps reduce floor failure dramatically. Resin floors are also typically seamless in nature, therefore not only reducing areas of weakness or failure but also promotes increased hygiene levels, leaving bacteria nowhere to breed.
When choosing commercial flooring for kitchens the safety of employees also needs to be on the list of key considerations. Vinyl and tiled floors often give a good level of slip resistance in dry conditions however they can often fall below the HSE recommended guidelines when wet.
At RESYN, the resin flooring solutions we provide within commercial kitchen areas, are broadcast with aggregate to create a high level of slip resistance, even under wet and operating conditions, maintaining employee safety at all times.
Finding time to complete refurbishment projects can often be difficult within the hospitality sector. Specialising in fast-curing resin flooring solutions, RESYN can complete installations within very small shutdown periods to minimise disruption to your business.
Anna Dewdney, Marketing & Sales Manager comments, “Over the years we have seen the popularity of resin flooring for commercial kitchens grow and this has now become one of our key areas of the business. Over this time, we have been faced with many different scenarios and our experience within this sector has enabled us to overcome many flooring challenges.
