Rubber flooring may seem like the perfect fit. Yet on your kitchen floor it’s a recipe for disaster. Here’s why.
Most rubber flooring is non-porous and durable. A popular choice for flooring, sealing and waterproofing, it’s marketed as the safer, less expensive choice. But beware of the hidden costs. Rubber, PVC, vinyl and other sheeting materials will not naturally adhere to a concrete floor. So they’re bought in sheets and cut to fit around corners, drains, stoves, and counters. The sheets are then glued to the substrate and welded together. Your floor is now covered in seamless layer of material. You’re good to go, right?
Not so fast
In a food prep area, subjected to grease spills, heat fluctuations, and high traffic, a welded seam will loosen or disintegrate completely. Shoddy installation near drains and other protrusions may also disrupt the seam, creating gaps. These gaps are convenient pockets for water, food, and bacteria to accumulate and dissolve the adhesive (often nothing fancier than plastic glue) between the concrete and the flooring. Pests set up shop in these spaces and can be impossible to get rid of. Without intervention it only gets worse. “My kitchen smelled like a sewer,” recounts one customer. “You could hardly smell the cooking food.” We had another client squirt slime all over her floor every time she stepped on a broken seam. “I hated being in my own kitchen,” she said. “I was so ashamed.”
Your floor should be a one-time investment
That kind of nightmare can cost you. It’s unattractive, unsanitary and unsafe. You may find yourself tearing up your old sheets to put in new ones, only to have to do it again in as little as two years. Some restaurants even put spanking new flooring on top of the old sheets! Completely unacceptable. Your floor should be a one-time investment, not a recurring cost. And it definitely shouldn’t put your customers at risk.
