Flooring for Herne Bay Kitchens and Dining Areas

Small cafe and coffee shop footprints

A small cafe often has a tighter kitchen or prep area than a full restaurant, sometimes little more than a coffee station and a warming area, but the same hygiene logic applies. Safety flooring behind the counter is usually worth specifying even where the space is small, since the same grease and spillage risks exist in miniature.

Where a counter separates the customer floor from a prep area, the transition between the two flooring types needs a clean, secure junction so there is no trip hazard at a point staff cross constantly during service.

• Safety flooring behind counters even in compact cafe footprints
• Clean transition strip at the counter line between dining LVT and kitchen safety flooring

Fitting around trading hours

Restaurants and cafes rarely want to close for flooring work, so jobs are usually scheduled overnight, on a closed day, or in phases between kitchen and dining areas so the business can keep trading through as much of the project as possible.

• Kitchen and dining areas can often be phased separately to keep part of the business trading
• Overnight or closed-day fitting scheduled where a full closure is unavoidable
• Fast-curing adhesives used where the reopening deadline is tight
• Old flooring removed and disposed of within the same visit
