Hospitality

Floors that are part of the guest experience, and the kitchens behind them

Hospitality is really two flooring problems sharing a building. Front of house, the floor is part of what the guest is paying for. Back of house, it is a working kitchen with grease, water and heat, and nobody sees it at all.

What the flooring has to cope with

Front of house is led by appearance and acoustics. Corridors and bedrooms need impact sound controlled between floors, and the finish has to survive luggage wheels while still looking considered on arrival.

Back of house is led by slip resistance and hygiene. A commercial kitchen wants a safety grade or a resin system, coved at the perimeter, with a pendulum test value of 36 or above sustained when the floor is wet and greasy rather than when it is new.

Working with guests in residence

Floor by floor or wing by wing, so trading continues throughout
Night working where noise would otherwise reach occupied bedrooms
Low odour systems, since a smell travels further than a noise in a hotel
Finished areas protected and reopened rather than left off limits
Kitchen works planned around service, not around our convenience

Frequently asked questions

Something that stays slip resistant when wet and greasy, which in practice means a safety grade sheet to EN 13845 or a resin system, coved up at the perimeter so the floor can be washed down. A pendulum test value of 36 or above is the usual target, measured wet.

Acoustic backed coverings reduce impact sound transmission to the room below, and the manufacturer will quote a figure for the reduction achieved. Getting the benefit depends on the detail at thresholds and perimeters as much as on the covering, since a rigid bridge at the edge shortcuts the whole build-up.

Routinely, floor by floor or wing by wing. The two real constraints are noise reaching occupied bedrooms, which pushes work to nights or to floors that can be emptied, and odour from adhesives and resins, which travels through a building far more readily than people expect.
