:: Construction Ques.:: Is Laminate Flooring okay for small restaurant

[JackRipper]

I was wondering if there were any contractors out there who have suggestions about laminate flooring for commercial use. The restaurant dining area is about 700 sqft.

Thanks in advance,

I would do sheet vinyl, I dont think Laminate would do too well in a restaurant type of a setting.

Here is a suggestion: If you have a new Super Wal-Mart nearby, go into the baby section and check out the flooring there. It looks like wood laminate. It has a nice look to it and I am sure that it is meant for high traffic. I do not know if it is vinyl or if it is really laminate, but it has a "real" look to it.

True, but it is also likely to shatter. They make wood tiles (that look like regular tile) that snap together. I installed a floor using it. It isn't the cheapest, but it works pretty well.
