Commercial Kitchen Flooring | R11 Non-Slip | Food Service Grade Rubber

Commercial kitchens present unique flooring challenges that residential solutions simply cannot address. The combination of water, grease, food debris, extreme temperatures, and constant foot traffic creates an environment where slip accidents are a daily risk. Our commercial kitchen rubber flooring delivers the R11 slip resistance essential for food service safety, while providing anti-fatigue benefits for staff who stand for entire service periods.

Every professional kitchen shares the same fundamental hazards: wet floors from constant cleaning, grease splatter from cooking stations, temperature extremes from ovens and freezers, and heavy foot traffic during service. Traditional flooring solutions compromise – tiles become slippery, vinyl wears through, painted concrete fails under chemical attack. Our studded rubber matting eliminates these compromises.

Why Kitchen Flooring Matters

Slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of workplace injuries in food service. The combination of environmental factors creates persistent danger:

• Water everywhere – Washing, steam, condensation, and spills create wet surfaces throughout service
• Grease and oil – Cooking fats create extremely slippery films on standard flooring
• Food debris – Vegetable trimmings, spilled sauces, and dropped ingredients add slip hazards
• Temperature changes – Moving between ovens and walk-in freezers creates condensation
• High-pressure work – Staff rushing during service cannot always watch their footing
• Fatigue – Tired workers on long shifts are more prone to accidents

How Our Kitchen Flooring Addresses These Hazards

Technical Specifications

Commercial Kitchen Applications

Our kitchen flooring serves all areas of food service operations:

• Hot line and cooking stations – Where grease splatter is heaviest
• Prep areas – Vegetable prep, butchery, pastry stations
• Dishwash zones – Constantly wet with water and detergent
• Walk-in cold stores – Maintains grip in low temperatures
• Dry stores – Protects against impact from dropped stock
• Pass areas – High traffic during service rushes
• Back of house corridors – Staff movement between areas

Suitable Food Service Environments

This flooring is used across the hospitality industry:

• Restaurant kitchens – Fine dining to quick service
• Hotel kitchens – Main kitchens, banqueting, room service
• Pub and bar kitchens – Wet environments with food service
• Hospital kitchens – High-volume institutional catering
• School and university catering – Heavy-duty educational kitchens
• Staff canteens – Corporate and industrial catering
• Care home kitchens – Safety-critical environments
• Central production units – High-volume food manufacturing

Anti-Fatigue Benefits for Kitchen Staff

Kitchen workers stand for entire shifts – often 10-12 hours during busy periods. The physical toll is significant:

• Aching feet and legs by end of service
• Lower back strain from standing on hard surfaces
• Cumulative fatigue affecting concentration and safety
• Long-term health issues including varicose veins

Our rubber flooring provides cushioned support that encourages micro-movements in leg muscles. Blood continues circulating rather than pooling in lower limbs. The result: less fatigue, fewer aches, and improved focus throughout service.

Food Safety Compliance

Kitchen flooring must support food safety requirements:

• Non-porous surface – Bacteria cannot penetrate for harbourage
• Easy to clean – Reaches food-safe hygiene levels with standard cleaning
• Chemical resistant – Withstands sanitisers and disinfectants
• No cracks or gaps – No spaces for food debris to collect
• Drainage – Studded surface allows water to run off during cleaning

Installation in Food Service Areas

Kitchen installation considerations:

1. Deep clean existing floor – Remove all grease build-up; degrease thoroughly
2. Plan around fixtures – Template around floor drains, equipment legs, and wall bases
3. Consider drainage – Position matting to allow water flow to drains during washdown
4. Seal edges – Food-safe silicone at wall junctions prevents debris collection
5. Allow for removal – Consider loose-lay or tape installation for deep cleaning access

Cleaning and Maintenance

Kitchen rubber flooring handles the rigorous cleaning schedules of food service:

• During service: Sweep debris as needed; mop spills immediately
• After service: Hot water washdown with commercial degreaser
• Deep cleaning: Pressure wash weekly; use food-safe sanitiser
• Floor drains: Ensure water runs to drains; rubber can be lifted for drain access

Colour Options

Available in colours suitable for food service environments:

• Black – Traditional; hides some staining
• Battleship Grey – Professional; shows contamination for cleaning verification
• Deep Sea Blue – Distinctive; differentiates kitchen from other areas
• Lush Green – Fresh appearance; suits modern kitchen designs
