Meet the Market Leaders
While there are plenty of options available for flooring, a distinct few are at the top of the line for commercial outfits. Luxury vinyl tile, carpet, and linoleum are among the most favoured, both because of their style and durability, as well as their cost. A brief breakdown for each is as follows:
Carpet
Carpet tiles are great for businesses that want something warm in both style and functionality. In addition to built in insulation, carpet is softer on the joints of staff and guests, and offers sound absorption to avoid a noisier atmosphere. While carpet may not be suitable for all areas of your building, it is relatively versatile and long lasting with proper care.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
Luxury Vinyl Tile is by far one of the most preferred options on the market due to its ability to mimic high end finishes without the price point of other options like hardwood, marble, or masonry. For those looking to install flooring over a large area at a price friendly point, LVT is a surefire way to save without having to compromise on style and the tiles are durable enough to withstand reasonable traffic and wear and tear, giving you a longterm option that requires minimal maintenance to look its best.
Linoleum
Linoleum flooring is one of the longest standing choices for business owners. As a low maintenance, easy to install option, linoleum is extremely durable and cast last for decades. In addition, the tiles are extremely versatile and suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Which Option Suits You Best?
If you are unsure of what to look for when selecting commercial flooring, our team is happy to help narrow things down. While every space will have unique needs, the basic questions to ask yourself when browsing options are:
- How big is your space?
- What is your overall budget?
- How long do you need your flooring to last before replacement becomes a consideration?
- What daily demands will your floors be subject to? (Heavy traffic, moisture, etc.)
