British Bankers Club wanted a commercial kitchen floor that was nonslip, easy to clean, and most of all, durable.


Robert Fischer owns five restaurants in Palo Alto and Menlo Park, California. When it was time to purchase kitchen flooring for his upscale eateries British Bankers Club and Reposado, he wanted floors that were durable above all else.


After exploring less-durable alternatives like quarry tile, Fischer determined fully vitrified Argelith tile would be the best way to get the job done.

  • Long lasting
  • Hygienic
  • Easy to clean
  • Stable under high temperatures and dramatic temperature swings

  • Able to support heavy equipment without fatigue
  • Water resistant
  • Chemical resistant

Outcome

“It’s awesome,” Fischer said. He reports being “very satisfied” with both the Argelith product and the customer experience. He said he recommends the flooring to other restaurants.


“Installation is the key to the success of the product,” Fischer said. “I love this stuff!”
