HERF, Entering as a New Type of Flooring for Local F&B Restaurants

High end resilient flooring (HERF), since its introduction into the local flooring market about 2 years ago; has paved its way into various residential and commercial interior design projects in Singapore. Due to its waterproof features and luxurious wood alike surfaces, it has somewhat becomes popular among the local F&B diners industry. Here are 3 Most Important benefits of HERF for F&B owners.  

1) Highly Slip Resistant

Especially when the flooring gets a little bit slippery and oily due to the invisible vapourised oil, spills or when water gets into the interiors from the diners' shoes during a super rainy day. The embossed surfaces and grooves of HERF flooring makes it highly slip resistant and therefore assure safety among the diners.

2) Waterproof Makes It Lasting

One of the most important areas when we look at  the type of flooring to be used for restaurants is the level of water resistance. This is because regular washing is consistently required in order to keep the restaurant neat and tidy for the diners. At the same time, especially during rainy days, water from diners' shoes and boots may get into the flooring easily. Traditional laminate flooring which is low in water resistance may have an issue with water. Moreover, conventional vinyl flooring, although is highly water resistant, may also get the issue due to its adhesive. When HERF is waterproof and installed in a glueless way, it somehow makes the flooring last for a relatively longer period of time, thus making it suitable for high walk-in traffic wet areas for the restaurant such as the dining areas and the kitchen. 

3) Luxurious Cosy Looking & Yet Cost Efficient

HERF gives the F&B outlet a kind of cosy looking and luxurious outlook due to its wood alike features. The business owners can also get to choose the different types of flooring designs available which set the mood and style of the restaurant interiors. Other than giving the interiors a touch of luxury, it is also highly cost efficient to install. Other than being easy to clean and maintain, the flooring can also be re-used again after a period of usage.

In fact, high end resilient flooring has somehow given local F&B owners a new option to renovate their outlets and restaurants, making them more cosier and comfortable for their diners.
