Restaurant flooring is particularly important to think about. A commercial kitchen poses numerous hazards and challenges for any flooring system. Daily exposure to chemicals, oil, salt, alkaline compounds, etc. can pose problems.
Additionally, safety and sanitation standards from OSHA, the FDA, and the USDA can add complications to choosing the right flooring. OSHA mandates that flooring in a commercial kitchen be certified slip-resistant for a safe environment.
Flooring must also work well for the front of the house. The floor must withstand the daily abuse from table sand chairs, cleaning solutions, and be safe and slip-resistant for heavy customer traffic.
