What flooring is best for commercial kitchens?
The best flooring for commercial kitchens is epoxy flooring due to its superior combination of food safety, durability, and hygiene compliance. Commercial kitchen epoxy floors offer:

- Chemical Resistance – Withstands commercial sanitisers, food acids, and cleaning agents
- HACCP Compliance – Meets Queensland Health Department food safety standards
- Heat & Impact Resistance – Handles dropped equipment and hot oil spills
- Easy Maintenance – Quick daily cleaning reduces labour costs
- Long Lifespan – 15-20 years with proper maintenance vs. 5-10 years for tile
Performance Features of Commercial Kitchen Epoxy Floor Systems
Slip Resistance in Wet and Greasy Conditions: We install epoxy systems with AS 4586 slip resistance ratings that provide traction even when floors are wet or greasy, reducing workplace accidents and meeting OH&S requirements.
Chemical and Temperature Resistance: Commercial kitchen epoxy floors withstand harsh degreasers, sanitisers, food acids, and thermal shock from hot oil spills, plus temperature cycling from -20°C to +80°C in cold storage areas.
Heavy-Duty Durability for High-Traffic Kitchens: Our epoxy systems resist impacts from dropped equipment, handle heavy appliances being moved, resist staining from food and grease, and maintain performance for 15-20 years in demanding environments.
Kitchen Zone-Specific Applications: Different kitchen areas need different flooring properties—prep areas require hygiene, cooking zones need heat resistance, dishwashing areas demand slip resistance, and cold storage requires temperature tolerance.
