FOR COMMERCIAL

Retail and hospitality flooring

In a shop or café the floor has to do two jobs at once: survive the heaviest footfall of any environment we work in, and look good enough to appear in every customer photograph of the space.

Durable wood-effect flooring in a café interior

Footfall and spills together

Front-of-house takes constant traffic; hospitality adds drinks, food and cleaning regimes on top. A waterproof-core LVT or SPC with a commercial wear layer handles both. We spec 0.55mm as a minimum and go up from there depending on the traffic.

Zoning the space

The entrance, the till or bar line and the main circulation route take disproportionate wear. Entrance matting there does more for the floor's lifespan than any upgrade elsewhere. Behind the counter and in back-of-house, prioritise slip and spill performance over appearance.

  • Waterproof core anywhere food or drink is served
  • Plank-level repairs so a damaged area doesn't close the space
  • Batch-matched spares kept on site from day one

Fitting around trading hours

Most retail and hospitality work happens during a closed period, overnight or in a phased shutdown. Lead times are 1–2 weeks for LVT, so a closure window can usually be planned around. Give us the trading pattern at survey and the programme is built to it.

Look matters commercially

Wood-effect LVT gives the warmth of timber with the resilience the environment needs, and herringbone LVT in a café or boutique reads as a considered design decision. If the space is part of your brand, tell us at survey and we'll bring samples to suit the scheme.

Frequently asked

Can you fit overnight or during a closure?
Yes, where the building and the adhesive cure times allow. Both are confirmed at survey.
Is wood ever suitable front-of-house?
In lower-traffic boutique settings, engineered oak can work. For a busy café or restaurant, a waterproof-core vinyl is the responsible spec.
What about slip performance?
Tell us the environment — kitchen, bar, wet entrance — and we'll spec to the requirement rather than assume a domestic product will do.
How quickly can a damaged area be repaired?
With glue-down planks and batch-matched spares, individual planks can be swapped without closing the whole floor.

In short

Waterproof commercial-grade vinyl, zoned by traffic, entrance matting where the grit arrives, plank-level repairs, spares kept on site, and fitting scheduled around trading.
