For commercial kitchens, you need a durable, slip-resistant solution that meets safety standards while withstanding heavy foot traffic, spills, like Forbo's Step safety vinyl sheet flooring, is an ideal choice.
When determining the best flooring for a commercial kitchen, key factors include slip resistance, durability, hygiene, and ease of maintenance.
Most importantly, your flooring must meet Australian slip rating requirements outlined in the National Construction Code (NCC) and guides HB 197:1999 & HB 198:2014 for slip resistance of pedestrian surfaces.
For commercial kitchens, a slip rating of R12/P5 is generally recommended to ensure compliance and safety.
