What is the best canteen flooring?
A canteen floor must have specific properties to be suitable for its purpose. It should be capable of handling high walking loads and rough handling. More importantly, the floor should contribute to a good atmosphere during the break. Since many people eat and drink during this time, it is convenient if the floor is easy to clean and waterproof, so it is less of a problem if a colleague spills a cup of water. At Floer, we have some excellent options that meet all the criteria for the perfect canteen floor.
Top 5 floors for the canteen
We have carefully selected the top 5 floors that are perfect for your cafeteria. Let’s get straight to the point and take a look at our choices below.
1. Tile Rigid Click Vinyl -Vaalserberg Dark Grey
The Tile Rigid Click Vinyl floor in Vaalserberg Dark Grey colour tops the list of the top 5 canteen floors. With its large tiles featuring a luxurious stone texture, it exudes an impressive appearance, almost indistinguishable from a real tile floor. The super convenient click connection along all sides makes it easy to install the floor yourself.
Not only that, but it also comes with a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty and a rigid core intermediate layer, making it a durable and stable option for long-term use.
Rest assured that your 20-year manufacturer’s warranty will remain intact while using the Rigid Click Vinyl subfloor. This subfloor is specifically designed to withstand the heavy weight of the floorboards. The photo on the right provides evidence that our flooring is perfect for use in a canteen. As you can see from the photo, the floor was laid at one of our customers’ offices, which is perhaps more heavily trafficked than a canteen. We can hardly provide a better guarantee!
2. Herringbone Laminate – Mocha Black Oak
One of the most popular flooring patterns in the world is the Herringbone Laminate floor in the colour Mocha Black Oak, which we also find on this list. Herringbone pattern flooring has been a popular choice for living rooms for years, but it can also work well in a business setting. Why? Herringbone Laminate floors have an AC6 usage rating, which means they are suitable for heavy commercial use. This makes them perfect for laying in any canteen! In addition, they come with a manufacturer’s warranty of 35 years, which is quite impressive and suggests a chance that this floor will last longer than the company itself. 😉
By the way, the dark colour of the floor also makes dirt less visible. In a canteen, of course, people walk a lot, so it is very wise to choose a dark floor in this situation. The photo on the right gives a good impression of this beautiful herringbone floor. P.S. the dog is not included!
3. Tile Rigid Click Vinyl – Hasseberg Anthracite
The Hasseberg Anthracite is an ideal do-it-yourself tile floor, similar to the Vaalserberg Dark Grey. It deserves a spot on our list of top flooring options. Like the Tile Rigid Click Vinyl floor mentioned earlier, this tile vinyl floor features a rigid core intermediate layer that minimises floorboard movement after installation. This is especially useful for high-traffic areas like a canteen, where temperature fluctuations can cause floors to warp. With this floor, that is much less of an issue.
Additionally, the top of the floorboards has a realistic and tangible structure, allowing you to feel the tile pattern. In the picture, you can see how the floor looks in the office of one of our customers.
Did you know?
The Hasseberg Anthracite is also in the Floer canteen! So we definitely recommend it! 😉
4. Forest Vinyl – Mensingebos Brown Walnut
The Mensingebos Brown Walnut Forest Vinyl floor is a standout option in the extra wide vinyl collection. With a width of 24 cm, the floorboards truly live up to their name. One of the great advantages of such a wide floor is that it can create the illusion of a wider room. The wide planks give the area a more relaxed and spacious appearance. Additionally, the Forest collection is 100% waterproof, meaning you don’t need to worry about spills or stains.
Are you looking for a sustainable flooring option for your workplace? While all of our floors are sustainable, the Forest Vinyl floor goes above and beyond by being made with a soybean plasticizer, making it an extremely eco-friendly choice!
5. Herringbone Vinyl – Brown Oak
The warm Brown Oak Herringbone Vinyl floor ended up in the last spot of the top 5 canteen floors. However, this doesn’t mean it’s any less deserving of the first spot – all the floors on this list are winners in their own right. What sets this floor apart are its numerous advantages. For example, it’s perfect for canteens with underfloor heating systems because of its extremely low thermal resistance, a feature common to all vinyl floors. Therefore, the Brown Oak Herringbone floor is a great choice for combining with underfloor heating.
Do you like the benefits of this floor, but not a fan of the herringbone pattern? No problem! Herringbone Vinyl floors can be installed in multiple laying patterns, including half-brick, elbow, or block patterns.
