One of the frequently asked questions we receive is regarding the most suitable floor covering for commercial spaces such as storefronts or restaurants. Commercial flooring is a unique and specific category, and there are several factors to consider when choosing the right product.
When you’re looking for a flooring option that will be the most beneficial for your business, you need to consider a number of factors. The first is the overall appearance and feel of the flooring – does it match your brand? Can you add your brand colors into the space or make your other colors pop with the more solid color palette of the walls, furnishings and, of course, flooring.
We always recommend a floor covering that can be directly installed on the subfloor, provided that the subfloor is in good shape and as flat as possible. Options for such floor coverings include glue-down vinyl, glue-down carpet, and tile products such as natural stone, porcelain, or ceramic. Floating floors can have some failure points, so we don’t recommend it as a durable long-term solution for your office or storefront flooring.
Next, you’ll want to take into consideration how easy it is to clean and maintain. If you’re looking for a space that is easy to clean, consider a vinyl flooring option. Vinyl is durable and low maintenance, which makes it the perfect choice for business owners who don’t have time to worry about their floors. You can also choose from a variety of different patterns and designs if you’re looking for something with more character than a solid color flooring option.
Porcelain tiles make a great flooring option for commercial spaces. It’s durable and easy to clean, which makes it ideal for high-traffic areas. Porcelain tile is also a good choice if you’re looking to add some style to your business. You can choose from a variety of patterns, colors and textures that will help you create the perfect look for your space.
One of the advantages of using any of these solutions is that they offer the ability to replace individual sections of the floor without having to redo the entire floor. This is particularly useful in a commercial space where damage is inevitable, and you want to minimize repair costs. On the other hand, click-lock systems such as LVP or laminate may require replacing more pieces of the flooring than just the damaged area.
If you’re thinking about renovating your commercial space, it’s important to know all of your options. The flooring materials you choose can have a big impact on the look and feel of your business, as well as how much money you spend over time.
