Kitchen

In commercial kitchens, the flooring is just as important as the oven and the chef. When it’s good, it makes the whole kitchen run more smoothly. But if it’s slippery, cracked or delaminating, it can cause a number of headaches. Bacteria can grow and pooling water can add to hazards for the staff. Unfortunately, flooring can be one of the last considerations when planning new construction or a remodel when it should be one of the first. In order to ensure a successful installation, and a long-lasting floor, you need to answer a few questions before the job starts. Here are some things you should think about when choosing the right commercial kitchen flooring. 1. Remodel or new construction? If the floor is being installed in a new construction project, the concrete needs to be fully cured, which can take up to 28 days. Some products can be installed over “green” concrete less than 10 days old.
