Owning a restaurant is much different than simply dining in one. Creating a welcoming atmosphere involves various aspects that should be considered carefully. One component that many people overlook is an establishment’s flooring. In addition to being attractive to customers, the floor installation must be safe, durable, and easy to clean. Here are a few options to consider for your establishment’s dining and kitchen areas.  

Flooring for the Dining Area

The floors in your dining area need to be visually appealing and withstand excess foot traffic at the same time. Laminate is a popular choice because it has the aesthetic qualities of real wood but is cheaper and holds up against stains, scratches, and fading.

Another attractive option is luxury vinyl. Available in sheets or tiles, vinyl can be crafted to resemble stone, wood, or metal. It’s also low-maintenance, tough against spills, and durable.

If you’re looking for lots of color in your restaurant, glazed ceramic tile comes in a variety of hues. Ceramic tile is easy to clean with water, though you may need to finish the material with a slip-resistant treatment to reduce the chance of accidents. 

Types of Kitchen Floor Installations

The options that work for your dining area often serve well in the kitchen as well. Because it’s durable and cleans up easily, ceramic tile is a suitable choice for the kitchen. As an added perk, it’s easy to replace if broken or damaged, unlike other materials. 

Concrete is another versatile option that thrives in kitchens. Its extreme strength, heat-resistance, and ability to tolerate heavy impacts make it perfect for the chaos of commercial cooking spaces. Regardless of where you install it, concrete should be sealed to avoid stains from food or oil spills.

If you’re especially concerned about cleanups, consider epoxy. This material is a liquid that hardens over a pre-existing porous surface, making it ideal for renovations. It’s naturally slip-resistant and easy to clean with water. You can even apply epoxy to wall bases for more seamless mopping and scrubbing.
