Safety flooring questions from Whitstable customers
Can you fit safety flooring in a Whitstable care home without closing it?
Yes — most of our Whitstable care home installs are phased room-by-room, with welding done off-peak so residents and staff can carry on as normal.
What's the difference between safety vinyl and standard vinyl?
Safety vinyl has aggregates through the wear layer that maintain slip-resistance even when wet. Standard sheet vinyl can become slippery when wet — fine for a domestic kitchen, not for a commercial one.
What slip rating do we need?
For wet zones, HSE guidance is a pendulum test value of 36 or above when wet. We spec products that achieve this, and we can supply the manufacturer test data with the quote.
Do you cove the skirting?
In wet and clinical areas, yes — we take the safety flooring up the wall around 100mm and cap it off, which removes the wall/floor join where water and bacteria collect.
How long does a Whitstable commercial kitchen install take?
A standard Whitstable commercial kitchen is 2-3 days including prep, fit, welding and coving. We work around your service times.
