Case Study: Industrial Canteen Refurbishment for Commercial Laundry Facility
Project Overview
Arkomax was approached by a leading commercial laundry provider in need of a canteen redesign that would meet the needs of a high-traffic, industrial workspace. The existing canteen had become outdated, difficult to clean, and was no longer fit for purpose in terms of hygiene, durability, and staff experience.
Our goal?
To deliver a modern, practical, and easy-to-maintain canteen space that could withstand the demands of an industrial environment – while creating a more pleasant and efficient break area for staff.
The Challenge
The original canteen presented several challenges:
Surfaces and finishes were worn and hard to sanitise
Layout lacked flow, causing congestion during peak break times
Furniture was mismatched and didn’t support communal use
The environment felt dated and uninspiring for employees
These issues were impacting both staff morale and operational hygiene standards – critical factors in a fast-paced commercial laundry setting.
Our Solution: Durable, Hygienic, and Built for Workflow
Arkomax provided a full canteen fit-out, carefully planned to support both the operational demands and wellbeing of the client’s workforce.
Key features of the redesign include:
✅ Durable, wipe-clean flooring to support high foot traffic
✅ Bright, modern furniture for improved comfort and visual appeal
✅ Integrated waste segregation units for better sustainability and cleanliness
✅ Optimised layout with clearly zoned areas for food prep, dining, and waste disposal
✅ Hardwearing wall cladding and splashbacks for easy cleaning and long-term use
✅ Neutral colour palette with a pop of green to keep the space fresh and welcoming
The entire renovation was completed with minimal disruption to operations – demonstrating our commitment to smart planning and efficiency on industrial sites.
The Result
The newly refurbished canteen is:
Visually clean and cohesive, with a consistent design language
Easier to maintain, reducing downtime for cleaning and upkeep
More functional, supporting better traffic flow and waste management
More comfortable for staff, boosting morale and wellbeing
This project is a strong example of how canteen refurbishments for industrial environments can go beyond aesthetics – they can enhance productivity, improve hygiene standards, and support staff retention.
