Flooring should be durable, comfortable for guests and employees

here's no question that restaurant flooring takes a beating. Most operators do
not require their patrons to remove their
shoes before they enter, so dirt, water, snow and
muck get tracked in and tracked throughout the
restaurant each and every day. Add the mess that
guests make with spilled drinks and food, and it's
no wonder restaurant floors need constant attention to keep them clean, dry and safe.
With so much that is required of flooring,
what option can operators choose that will
stand the test of time and look good while
doing it?
"Flooring and restaurants can be a tricky
combo," says Stacy Elliston, Principal at Studio 11
Design in Dallas. "While we must be sensitive to
3 0 / P I Z Z AT O D AY. C O M / M AY 2 0 1 7
details such as cleanability and noise transmission
or acoustics, there is also an aesthetic concern with
using something other than a hard surface on the
floor of a restaurant dining room."
Although it is challenging to pick the right
floor, it is possible to blend durability, beauty and
function into one floor, thanks to improved products and new ideas.
"Porcelain tile offers the widest range of
design options and styles," says Kevin Horn, vice
president and designer at CallisonRTKL in Los
Angeles. "Over the past five years, the quality
of porcelain tile has increased significantly and
become the go-to solution for a wide range of
applications. Porcelain tile simulations of wood
planks or natural stone are more realistic and
sophisticated than ever before."
