Everyone, including the team here at Rivendell, enjoys dining out. Whether once a week or once a month, relaxing in the company of friends and family, whilst choosing from a delicious menu and the bonus of leaving the washing up behind, is an enjoyable treat.
However, for those behind the scenes the story is quite different. The waiting staff balance plates as they juggle multiple tables, bar staff rush around creating an array of cocktails, chefs sweat under the pressure of orders and heat of the kitchen. And don’t forget the work that goes into creating the ideal dining atmosphere for customers too.
Whilst creating the menu or selecting final touches such as pieces of art are certainly important, ensuring that you choose the right flooring for your restaurant, bar or pub is also key and it can be a complicated business. Find out how the team at Rivendell can help you through the stages of purchasing the right flooring.

With the 2016 Olympics sprinting full speed ahead, and almost straight after the euros, fitness and sport is absorbing the minds of viewers all over the world.
Whilst spectators across the globe are in awe of the record breaking athletes, we forget that the stadiums, pools, and arenas have been years in the making.

It is therefore critical to ensure that sport arenas are fitted with top quality flooring that offer the proper amount of durability, safety features and aesthetic properties. Take our advice when we say it is incredibly important to look at all of your options when choosing flooring for your commercial leisure centre.

Take a moment to imagine vinyl. What do you picture?
Unfortunately the likelihood is that you conjure up images of cheap industrial style flooring. Perhaps you associate the designs and quality with old school gyms and dining halls and as a result have avoided this fantastic flooring choice as a result.
However, this is certainly no longer the case. And it’s therefore time to stop stereotyping vinyl flooring.
Manufacturers have done their homework and completed appropriate modifications to vinyl flooring so that new styles of luxury vinyl & Marmoleum are just as attractive as they are durable.
