More grip for demanding commercial kitchen floors

Commercial Kitchen Anti-Slip Flooring

Anti-Slip Flooring for Commercial Kitchens

Commercial kitchen floors have to perform in particularly demanding conditions.

Water, cooking oils, grease, food residue, cleaning products and frequent washdowns can all reduce the amount of grip available underfoot.

At the same time, kitchen teams need to move quickly between preparation, cooking, storage and wash-up areas throughout service.

Exterius provides specialist commercial kitchen anti-slip flooring treatments designed to improve the slip resistance of suitable existing floors without automatically requiring complete replacement.

We work with restaurants, hotels, commercial catering operations, food-service facilities and professional kitchens throughout the UK.

Having contacted Exterius for a survey they came out within a few days and had the quote back in 48hrs. I didn't question the quote because i was happy with it and i knew i could be waiting weeks and weeks to get other quotes. A date was arranged to come and do the work and they turned up on time, both guys doing the work were friendly and happy offering advise along the way with the job. The results are fantastic and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a first class service. They do what they say they're going to do.

Improve Kitchen Floor Grip Without Full Replacement

Completely replacing a commercial kitchen floor can involve significant cost, downtime and disruption.

Where the existing substrate is suitable, Exterius can apply a specialist anti-slip treatment or coating directly to the existing floor.

The aim is to improve grip while retaining a serviceable existing surface and avoiding unnecessary replacement work.

Suitable surfaces can include:

  • Ceramic floor tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone
  • Concrete
  • Resin flooring
  • Other suitable commercial kitchen floor finishes

Why Anti Slip Flooring Is a Compliance Issue, Not Just a Safety Upgrade

Commercial Kitchen Areas We Can Treat

Slip risk can vary considerably from one part of a commercial kitchen to another.

Areas close to cooking equipment may be exposed to oils and grease, while wash-up areas may experience more frequent water contamination.

Typical areas include:

  • Food preparation areas
  • Cooking lines
  • Pot-wash and wash-up areas
  • Main kitchen walkways
  • Back-of-house corridors
  • Serving areas
  • Commercial catering facilities
  • Food storage areas

We assess the environment as a whole so that treatment can be focused on the areas where it is most appropriate.

Understanding Slip Resistance in Commercial Kitchens

A commercial kitchen floor can perform very differently when contaminated compared with when it is clean and dry.

Water, oil, grease and food residue can all affect the amount of grip available.

This is why visual inspection alone is not enough to understand how a floor is performing.

Slip-resistance testing provides a more objective assessment and can help identify whether the existing surface requires treatment.

Exterius can assess current floor conditions before recommending a suitable system. Pre- and post-treatment testing can also be used to demonstrate the improvement achieved.

Correct Preparation Is Essential

Commercial kitchen flooring can accumulate layers of grease, detergent residue and other contaminants over time.

These need to be addressed before any anti-slip coating or treatment is applied.

Correct preparation helps ensure the selected system is being applied to a surface capable of accepting the treatment rather than simply coating over existing contamination.

This is particularly important in heavily used kitchens where the floor has been exposed to oils, food and repeated cleaning for several years.

Maintaining Slip Resistance Over Time

Anti-slip treatment does not remove the need for effective kitchen cleaning.

Oil, grease, food residue and other contaminants still need to be removed regularly because a build-up on the surface can affect grip.

Exterius treatments include a five-year manufacturer-backed warranty and annual deep-clean support.

We can also provide guidance on looking after treated floors so that kitchen and facilities teams understand the appropriate ongoing cleaning approach.
