Thoughtful cafeteria design, cafeteria flooring in particular, is more important than ever before. Today’s school cafeterias have expanded beyond their traditional role to become highly functional multi-use spaces. In many schools, cafeterias now serve breakfast, as well as lunch, in several shifts/rotations. In addition, modern “cafetoriums” function as auditoriums, study hall spaces and after-school gathering places for clubs and extra-curricular activities. This multi-function approach means constant use, even beyond the highly trafficked meal rotations, requiring industrial epoxy coatings.
High-use cafeteria and cafetorium floors need to be as durable, slip-resistant and impact/abrasion resistant as ever, but they must also take serious issues of health into consideration. School cafeterias and kitchens with numerous high-touch surfaces, and tightly scheduled meal rotations can mean there’s less time to clean properly between meal services.
As a result, the space is highly susceptible to spreading colds, flu and other infectious diseases.
Along with schools’ Infection Control Plans (ICP) and targeted disinfecting protocols, thoughtfully-selected school cafeteria epoxy flooring can make a difference to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and occupants’ overall health. Facilities that select something other than seamless epoxy coatings can experience a variety of problems, as described below:
In contrast, Florock epoxy floor coatings for cafeterias and cafetoriums:
Florock flooring provides outstanding sanitation and hygiene benefits, along with impressively long-lasting, slip-resistant, no-wax finishes.
School cafeteria designers are charged with creating functional, attractive spaces that support the learning environment. Floors, like the entire décor concept, must be age appropriate to the student population. Facilities may choose among bright primary colors for very young children, a slightly edgy look that middle and high school kids can appreciate, or design-forward looks for college and university scholars. Florock’s innovative, seamless cafeteria and cafetorium epoxy flooring helps highlight overall design and also offers budget-saving, low maintenance finishes and excellent cleanability.
Florock cafeteria flooring furnishes safety and inspiration to students, staff and visitors alike.
