Forbo serves up Japanese style and slip resistance at Yo! Sushi

A combination of Forbo’s Surestep Wood safety flooring and Allura Safety luxury vinyl tiles has contributed to the elaborate Japanese theme at the YO! Sushi restaurant in Leicester, whilst providing the all-important slip resistance required in a busy dining venue.

Commissioned to transform the premises, Alison Cooper of InnSight Design brightened up the interiors with Surestep Wood in Seagrass – which she chose for its ‘bamboo-like’ appearance - and Allura Safety tiles in Natural Textile. The two contrasting slip resistant products have given depth to the floor scheme and created a walkway around the restaurant, echoing the Japanese style conveyor belt on the counter, delivering a continuous choice of dishes to the diners.,

Alison commented: “As this is an environment where a lot of food and drink will be consumed on a daily basis, our first and foremost objective for the flooring was to protect customers and staff from unnecessary slips and trips.” Both products provide HSE compliant slip resistance underfoot - R10 (Wet Pendulum ≥ 36 and surface roughness ≥ 20).

Alison continued: “Before we won this contract, we had specified a range of Forbo’s floor coverings for another client, and the quality of the products combined with the excellent customer service truly impressed us. We knew they would not let us down and that their products would impress YO! Sushi too. Overall this project has been a real success and as a result, we are now working on our sixth project for YO! Sushi, which also incorporates Forbo’s high quality products.”
