Heavy-duty safety flooring with enhanced slip resistance from Polyflor’s Polysafe Apex range was recently installed in the busy commercial kitchen at the Radisson Blu Hotel Athlone in Co. Westmeath, Republic of Ireland.
Polysafe Apex vinyl safety flooring in the Chromite shade was chosen for a 450m˛ kitchen area which caters round the clock for guests at the 4 star rated, 128 room hotel by the River Shannon. Purchased from Provincial Floorcoverings Ltd, the flooring was fitted by MJ Flooring Contractors in Athlone in four sections to minimise disruption to the daily operation of the kitchen.

Polysafe Apex is a high durability safety floor which provides sustainable wet slip resistance and underfoot protection where there are regular spillages of more viscous oil and grease contaminants. The range is designed for use within high intensity environments in food production, processing and busy commercial kitchen locations serving over 100 daily meals.

Dean Diplock, Head Chef at Radisson Blu Hotel Athlone commented, “The Polysafe Apex vinyl flooring is a vast improvement on the ceramic flooring we previously had which was very difficult to clean and was losing its slip resistance over time, which is not ideal in a kitchen as busy as ours. This new floor has helped us create a safer working environment for my staff which is simple to maintain.”
