Having The Correct Floor In A Commercial Kitchen Is Vital
More and more commercial kitchens are choosing a non slip resin screed as their preferred flooring. This is because sheet vinyl can rip, tear and the welded joints can come undone. Therefore, posing a health and safety threat and can harbour bacterial growth.
A commercial kitchen floor requires unique characteristics to meet the highest health and safety standards. PSC Flooring Ltd have worked closely with many commercial kitchens. Therefore, we understand the industries needs when choosing the correct floor. The normal choice of floor for this sector, is a heavy-duty polyurethane RT or HF screed, either 6mm or 9mm thick.
Why Polyurethane RT And HR resin?
Polyurethane RT and HF resin floors are a must for commercial kitchens owing to their chemical and physical properties.

Why Polyurethane RT And HR resin?
Polyurethane RT and HF resin floors are a must for commercial kitchens owing to their chemical and physical properties.
Anti-Slip
Commercial kitchen flooring must be anti-slip in both dry and wet conditions. Polyurethane resin screed systems are ideal for commercial kitchen flooring as they are non slip in wet and dry working conditions.
Hygienic And Seamless
Commercial kitchen floors must be hygienic, seamless and not support bacteria and microbial growth. Polyurethane resin screed systems are ideal as they offer a seamless finish. In addition, polyurethane resin can be complemented by coving and render, to allow for a smooth transition from wall to floor that does not support bacteria and microbial growth.
Hardwearing
Commercial kitchen floors require high compressive strength to withstand the heavy loads and abrasion within a commercial kitchen. Food grade epoxy coating is extremely hard wearing and robust, even in the most arduous environments making it ideal for commercial kitchens.
Chemically Resistant
Commercial kitchen floors must be resistant to oils, grease from food stuffs and must be capable of being thoroughly de-greased, cleaned and sanitised. Polyurethane resin screed systems are ideal as they are chemically resistant; designed to be impervious and withstand organic acids.
Withstand Direct Heat
Commercial kitchen floors must offer excellent thermal protection, especially close to the ovens. Polyurethane resin screed systems are ideal as they are easily cleanable and can be steamed cleaned to 120 degrees at 9mm thick. Offering excellent thermal properties, Polyurethane resin screed systems can withstand direct heat up to 120 degrees.
Advantages Of Installing Polyurethane Flooring In A Commercial Kitchen:
- Seamless commercial kitchen flooring
- Easily cleanable and can be steamed cleaned to 120 degrees at 9mm thick
- Excellent thermal properties, can withstand direct heat up to 120 degrees
- Very hard wearing, withstanding heavy loads
- Chemically Resistant
- Can be laid to falls to help drainage
- Anti-slip commercial kitchen floor in wet and dry working conditions
Dealing With The Wet And Dry
It is common in commercial kitchen to have sauces, grease, flour, oils, baking soda, yeast, icing sugar and butter. These can be highly slippery underfoot and create a health and safety hazard. Therefore, it is vital to have a floor that is slip resistant in both wet and dry conditions. Polyurethane RT and HF screeds offer the maximum anti slip properties to make them ideal in commercial kitchen flooring.
Taking The Heat Of The Kitchen
Commercial kitchen floors can be subject to extremes of heat, so any floor must be thermal shock resistant, especially near the ovens. Polyurethane screed floors are very durable and offer excellent thermal protection. In addition, can withstand direct temperatures up to 120 degrees or up 130 degrees at 12mm. The ability to be steam cleaned up to 120 degrees helps to kill any harmful bacteria without affecting the integrity of the resin floor. Therefore, as resin screeds are also seamless, they are very hygienic, ideal in a commercial kitchen where cleanliness and hygiene levels need to be very high.
Seamless
Having central drains channels in the factory or production floor, helps to make cleaning down easy. Polyurethane resin can be laid to falls to ensure that all water runs towards the drainage. Additionally, Polyurethane resin can also be complemented by coving and render to allow for a smooth transition from wall to floor. This makes cleaning easy, whilst providing a seamless “box” finish for high sterile processes in the food industry.
Hard-Wearing
Polyurethane resin is exceptionally hard wearing, with excellent impact and abrasion qualities. In addition, can withstand heavy loads and are completely impervious throughout. Commercial kitchens are constantly subject to foot and wheeled traffic. Therefore, Polyurethane RT and HR resin screeds are perfect as they are categorised by FeFRA as a type 8 floor which is the highest rating resin floor finish. They are suitable for use in very heavy-duty working environments. The anticipated life span of Polyurethane RT and HR resin screeds are well over 20 years for a commercial kitchen.
