Built For Restaurants
Restaurant Flooring Installation Designed to Survive the Rush
Restaurant flooring installation has to do more than look good — it has to survive spills, grease, dropped trays, rolling carts, and a dining room full of foot traffic every single night. Carpet Services Incorporated (CSI) has been installing commercial flooring for restaurants, bars, and food-service operators across Chicagoland since 1979, working out of our Addison, IL showroom to serve DuPage, Cook, Kane, and Will counties plus Northwest Indiana. Whether you're opening a new location, renovating a dining room, or replacing worn-out kitchen flooring, our crews understand the schedules, codes, and durability standards that restaurant flooring demands.
We work directly with restaurant owners, general contractors, and builders to plan installations around your operating hours, minimize downtime, and deliver a finished space that holds up to years of service.
Material Options
Flooring Built for Dining Rooms, Bars & Kitchens
Porcelain & Quarry Tile
The standard for commercial kitchens and bar back areas. Porcelain and quarry tile resist grease, water, heat, and harsh sanitizing chemicals while holding up to constant rolling carts and heavy equipment. Slip-resistant textured finishes meet commercial safety expectations for wet zones.
Commercial Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
A favorite for dining rooms and waiting areas — waterproof, scratch-resistant, and available in wood, stone, and concrete looks that fit any restaurant concept. LVT installs quickly with minimal downtime and stands up to chair drag and high-heel traffic.
Waterproof & Sheet Flooring
For bar wells, prep areas, and back-of-house zones where standing water is a daily reality, waterproof sheet flooring and SPC core products provide a seamless, easy-to-sanitize surface that won't delaminate under constant moisture.
Every restaurant flooring installation begins with an on-site evaluation of your dining room layout, kitchen workflow, and existing subfloor condition so we can recommend the right material for each zone — not a one-size-fits-all solution. Many operators pair durable tile in the kitchen with warmer LVT or carpet tile in the dining room; see our commercial carpet options for front-of-house seating areas and lounges.

Common Questions
Restaurant Flooring FAQ
For dining rooms, most Chicagoland restaurant owners choose porcelain wood-look tile or commercial-grade luxury vinyl tile. Both stand up to heavy foot traffic, resist scuffing from chairs and carts, and give a warm, upscale look that's easy to clean between services.
Commercial kitchens need slip-resistant, NSF-friendly surfaces that can handle grease, water, and constant sanitizing. Quarry tile and textured porcelain tile with epoxy or urethane grout are the most common choices because they hold up to commercial cleaning chemicals and high heat without cracking or staining.
Most single-space restaurant flooring projects take 2-5 business days depending on square footage, substrate condition, and whether old flooring needs to be removed first. CSI works around your operating hours and can schedule overnight or off-day installation to minimize lost revenue.
In many cases, yes. CSI can phase installation by section, work overnight, or schedule around your slowest days so the dining room stays open. Kitchen and bar areas sometimes require a short closure for proper substrate prep, which we'll outline clearly during your estimate.
Yes. CSI works with general contractors and builders on new restaurant build-outs as well as renovations of existing dining rooms, bars, and kitchens, including removal of old flooring and subfloor preparation.
Commercial luxury vinyl tile typically costs less per square foot than porcelain tile and installs faster, making it popular for dining areas on a budget. Porcelain and quarry tile cost more upfront but offer superior durability for kitchens and high-grease zones, often lowering long-term replacement costs.
