The design firm is remodeling a well-known Italian restaurant in town. What type of resilient flooring would be the best choice for a commercial kitchen?
  1. Sheet Vinyl
  2. Rubber Sheeting
  3. Cork Flooring
  4. 1/8 inch Commercial Vinyl Tile
Explanation
Answer: A - Sheet vinyl is an excellent choice for industrial kitchen flooring.  Flooring options must be slip resistant, easy to clean and hard wearing.  Most slip and fall accidents that occur in restaurants occur in the kitchen area. Choosing a kitchen flooring which eliminates or reduces these risks is essential. Other issues commonly found in kitchens are contamination, cleaning and maintenance. 

Industrial sheet vinyl flooring has a dense concentration of deep anti-slip inlaid particles throughout the wear layer. Sheet vinyl is suitable for use in all areas of heavy traffic where slip-resistance, durability and hygienic conditions are required making it ideal for commercial kitchens.
