Flooring is incredibly important in the hospitality industry. It plays a significant role in creating a welcoming and pleasant ambiance for guests. A well-chosen flooring option not only enhances the overall aesthetic appeal but also contributes to hygiene, safety, and durability. From exuding luxury in a high-end hotel to ensuring slip resistance in a bustling restaurant or bar, the right flooring choice is essential in ensuring a positive and memorable experience for patrons.

Best Types of Flooring for Different Hospitality Businesses
Different establishments within the hospitality industry will have different flooring requirements. Here are the best flooring options we use for various businesses within the hospitality sector:
Hotels
Hotels are unique within the hospitality industry as they are likely to require a wide range of flooring needs depending on the area. For example, the lobby area may consist of LVT to create a luxurious and durable entrance. Whereas hallways and guest rooms are likely to be carpeted to help suppress noise and bathrooms are likely to contain sheet vinyl due to the moisture and slip resistance.
There is also the back of house areas to consider including the kitchen which may require a sheet vinyl flooring for hygiene reasons.
Flooring Options: Carpet, Vinyl, LVT
Restaurants
With restaurants you will want to consider front and back of house flooring options. Front of house will need to be a flooring option that adds to the atmosphere and ambience whilst still being easy to clean and highly durable. This makes LVT flooring a great option for the majority of restaurants. Some restaurants going for a more cosy and at home atmosphere may opt for carpet but this does have the drawback of being harder to keep clean.
When it comes to the back of house, particularly the kitchen area, sheet vinyl is a great option as it is resistant to moisture, hygienic, durable and easy to clean.
Flooring Options: Carpet, Vinyl, LVT
Bars
Flooring options for bars and pubs can be similar to restaurants however there is an increased chance of spills so increased levels of moisture and slip resistance should be considered here.
This makes Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) a great option for bars and pubs as it provides the appearance of a wooden flooring whilst providing the benefits of vinyl such as moisture and slip resistance.
Again, back of house areas may opt for sheet vinyl as aesthetics aren’t as important in back of house and these are very durable and easy to clean.
Areas: LVT, Vinyl
Coved Skirting
One thing all hospitality businesses have in common is the back of house area requiring a hygenic environment due to food preparation.
This makes sheet vinyl with coved skirting a great option as the vinyl material can provide slip resistance and ease of cleaning whilst the coved skirting provides a seamless transition between the wall and floor minimising the dust, dirt and bacteria getting stuck in the skirting boards and ensuring a much cleaner environment.
