Commercial kitchen flooring is put through its paces every day. The stream of demands we place upon it include high temperatures, spillages, the weight of industrial cooking equipment and being cleaned multiple times per day.
If you’re setting up a food company, then food grade commercial kitchen flooring should be a key consideration to ensure that your business runs efficiently and hygienically.
What is food grade flooring?
If you’re on the hunt for commercial kitchen flooring, you’ll need to choose a material that satisfies the Food Standards Agency’s current hygiene regulations. Food grade commercial kitchen flooring will need to be:
• Washable – Flooring must be easy to clean, without degrading when harsh cleaning agents are used
• Safe – Your commercial kitchen flooring should be slip-resistant to improve traction and limit falls
• Impervious – Commercial kitchens are prone to heat and moisture, which is why your floors need to be resistant.
• Non-absorbent – The flooring in your commercial kitchen should not absorb food and liquids that are accidentally spilled. This will only make it harder to clean.
• Made of a non-toxic material – Flooring needs to be easy to clean and sanitise in such environments, to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
Additionally, you’ll want to choose a commercial kitchen flooring that fits with your interior design scheme. If necessary, it should also create the ambience you’re going for, whilst supporting your branding.
So, what type of commercial kitchen flooring meets all these needs? Read on to find out.
