Vinyl Flooring for Commercial Kitchens
Commercial Kitchen Flooring
For commercial kitchens, you need a durable, non-slip and slip-resistant solution that meets safety standards while withstanding heavy foot traffic and spills. Forbo's Safestep R12 polyvinyl sheet flooring is an ideal choice.
Commercial kitchens must meet strict safety, hygiene and slip-resistance requirements under AS 4586 and related slip-resistance standards. Floors should be impervious, easy to clean, and resistant to grease.
A slip rating of R12/P5 for commercial kitchens is generally recommended to ensure compliance and safety, commonly specified for food prep areas.
