Nothing spruces up a business like a flooring replacement, and with a new year upon us, there’s no better time to get it done. Luckily, there are a wide array of options when it comes to commercial flooring—and having variety can be great, but it can also make it difficult to choose the best option for your business.
There are four things you should consider before making a flooring choice for your business:
Durability
Style
Maintenance level
Cost
You want to get the most out of your flooring option—that’s the whole point of using it to upgrade your space. We put together this article to share with you the top three flooring options, and from there you can choose which one best suits your commercial space.
Commercial Laminate Flooring
If you’re looking for a worthwhile wood and stone alternative, laminate is the way to go. It’s made of synthetic material, which means that while it doesn’t break the bank, it will still make your floors look beautiful. Compared to genuine hardwood, it’s an affordable option.
There are also plenty of details to choose from—like smooth, hard-scraped, embossed, and distressed laminate flooring.
Something else that many business owners love about laminate is the fact that it’s resistant to scratches and stains. You never know what could happen inside your commercial space—and laminate makes it so that you don’t have to worry about incurring damage. The wear layer of laminate also works against yellowing and fading that UV light can cause—it holds up against these things much better than vinyl can.
If you’re partial to the hardwood look, or if your business is an office, boutique, fitness studio, apartment complex, or cafe, then laminate might be the perfect choice for you.
Laminate is also comfortable to walk on and great for everyday use. Not only that, but it’s also extremely low maintenance and easy to take care of.
Commercial Vinyl Sheet Flooring
Vinyl sheet flooring provides a modern twist to a classic choice. It is known for its wide variety of styles ranging from tile to stone to decorative wood—with all of these options, you’re sure to find something that fits your commercial space.
Vinyl sheets are very durable, and they consist of multiple layers that can handle heavy-traffic areas with no problems. If you’re looking to show off the unique aesthetic of your commercial space while sticking with a tried-and-true durable choice, then vinyl sheets are for you. They’re commonly found in office foyers, hotel lobbies, hospitals, and schools.
They are resistant to stains and scratches because of their strong wear layer, and they don’t involve much maintenance when it comes to cleaning them.
Commercial Floor Tile
Floor tile is known for how stunning it is—and if it’s glazed, it is 100 percent waterproof. There are many tile selections to choose from, anything from porcelain to ceramic and the many options in between.
Commercial floor tiles are thick and sturdy and perform well in high-traffic areas. There are tons of patterns available, along with numerous designs and shapes. No matter the aesthetic of your commercial space, floor tiles can boost its look.
This style of flooring is best for restaurants, lobbies, spas, and luxury spaces. If you want to catch people’s eyes, then this is the flooring option that will do it.
Keeping up on the maintenance of your floor tiles also can ensure that they’ll last for quite a while. The tiles can be easily sanitized (since they’re a nonporous material) and cleaned in a flash with a broom or a mop. They’re also cheaper than genuine stone while offering the same degree of stunning looks.
Your Commercial Space
Anyone who runs a business knows that a good floor can do wonders for a commercial space. While a solid floor might not be the first thing that customers notice, the fact that it’s not catching their attention because it’s falling apart is always a good thing.
