A wealth of commercial flooring options
Finding flooring which will make the right impression on clients in a business environment can cause problems for many prospective buyers.
One type of flooring might seem perfectly understated to one person, yet another could find it too plain and uninspiring.
Commercial floors generally need to be stronger than domestic, which is where laminate flooring has an advantage over the competitors.
Julie Dempster, marketing manager at Forbo Flooring Systems, said: “Design is all part of the customer experience, but in these busy environments, flooring specification is as much about practicality as it is looks.”
Laminate floors are given a grade to guide buyers to varieties which would be strong enough for particular premises – AC5 for most commercial areas and AC6 for those with higher foot traffic.
The huge range of styles is another reason for laminate floors’ popularity, with beautiful wood or tile-effect options there will certainly be a design to match your business.
Another common option in the workplace is vinyl flooring, which is known for its practicality and low prices and maintenance.
Julie Dempster said: “Vinyl and linoleum remain popular, with the wide range of colours and patterns offering huge scope for creative detailing, whilst providing a durable surface.”
Choosing the right floor for a home can sometimes be a difficult choice, but this is nothing compared to the trials of deciding what commercial flooring best represents your business.
Fortunately there are large ranges of styles and designs on the market so it there will be the perfect selection for your business.
