How to Find the Right Office Flooring

1. Consider Your Location

Think about your office location as you browse flooring selections; is it in a stand-alone building or are you surrounded by other businesses? In the latter scenario, noise is often an issue, so choose a sound-dampening option such as carpet. It is soft underfoot and includes insulation for extra muffling.

2. Keep Allergies in Mind

Don’t forget the allergy factor as you shop. While carpeting is not noisy, it tends to trap allergens within its fibers. It is also vulnerable to staining. If your employees deal with asthma and allergy issues, opt for a hypoallergenic option such as vinyl or laminate floors. Both clean easily, and vinyl reduces noise.

3. Go for Low-Maintenance

Purchase flooring that is simple to clean to reduce office maintenance costs. Vinyl, laminate, and tile options take little more than weekly sweeping or mopping to keep free of dust, dirt, and other contaminants. While carpeting is comfortable and noise-dampening, it requires steam cleaning in addition to routine vacuuming.

4. Ensure Durability

Choose materials that stand up to the office’s daily demands and activities. Vinyl and laminate options, for example, do well in high-traffic spaces. Laminate is especially resistant to dents and scratches, while vinyl flooring is durable around sharp objects and heavy loads.
