Ideas on cheep flooring for night club/ Restaurant and bar

[boggington]

Hi

I am looking at renting a shell of a building that was last a night club. It was completely stripped and there is no flooring present. The ground floors I wish to fit a bar to and have table and chairs for dinning. The upstairs is one open plan floor and I wish to use this as the night club floor which will have some table and chairs scattered around the outside

This is a new venture for so in case it all goes wrong I do not want to spend a lot of money on it. So any ideas please on new and second hand flooring that requires basic fitting skills



Thanks

What is the sub floor? Concrete, asphalt, timber, chipboard, plywood? What sort of area? What sort of image are you trying to achieve? (Little point me suggesting shag carpet when you want minimalist/urban grunge/street for example)

Biggest issue with high volume commercial usage is that cheap materials wear out really fast

Interesting time to be thinking of a nightclub / bar. Good luck.

Its some kind of wood, but cant make out.
The floor area is about 12X4 meters and the upstairs is all one while the down staris is split off over steps. The down stairs I was thinking of some second hard carpet off of ebay as this will be the bar and dinning area. but the upstairs will be the dance floor so thinking of something hard

i am sure there are so many hoops to jump through like fire requirement licences planning' restrictions on opening 'security requirements'
why did it shut down in the first place you dont shut down a good profitable business ??

Give it a clean with industrial machine and commercial floor paint . No skill required .

Looks a bit like it was/is a tiled floor. The steps look ropey and would need proper (ideally non slip) flooring, commercial grade non-slip nosings and possibly hand rails to pass muster. Clearer photo might help

I thought this thread was a wind up and I still do.

Yes. Especially as the OP wants to do things on the cheap, but has yet to specify a theme for the premises.....

Over 30's night................I'm in.

As I used to call it 'D and D night', the women there were either divorce or the husband was dead.

Ahhh. Back in the day we used to go out mid week to the Palais in Leicester for "widows and orphans" night...... I seem to recall that the decor wasn't uppermost in our considerations.

Those are tile pannels of wood. I am not sure what type of wood it is. It is very soft and spongy in the middle. Do you think it will paint?
