Big or small commercial renovations from time to time can improve the appearance, function, and efficiency of your workspace. Upgrading worn and faded flooring, for instance, can revitalize your office and make it more welcoming to clients and employees. Here are a few tips to choose a new flooring installation that will refresh your business. 

What to Consider When Selecting New Commercial Flooring Materials

1. Cost

As with most commercial budgets, your flooring installation probably has a maximum spending allowance. If upgrading the entire office, ensure the materials in common areas accessed by guests and important clients are of a higher quality to help create good first impressions. Balance this price tier by selecting more affordable options for the remaining areas. However, you could also split the difference and install a material like luxury vinyl tile (LVT) that is both attractive and reasonably priced.

2. Maintenance, Durability, & Acoustics

Most commercial spaces receive a lot of foot traffic, so your flooring upgrade should be both durable and low maintenance. You don’t want it to appear dull and lifeless after only being open for a couple of hours each day. Carpet, for instance, is attractive but holds on to dirt and can stain easily.

Epoxy concrete flooring, on the other hand, is incredibly resistant to high levels of traffic, spills, and abrasions, and it requires deep cleaning infrequently. However, carpet is incredibly useful for areas that require sound absorption; whereas, epoxy over concrete flooring reduces its sound absorption qualities but does make it a better sound insulator.

3. Color & Style

Don’t forget to consider how the flooring will blend with the rest of your interior design. Are you performing a full commercial renovation or just upgrading the floors? If it’s the latter, consider colors and stylistic features already present.

Hardwood is a classic option that will most likely never go out of style; however, if your space is prone to increased humidity levels or moving heavy objects, it might not be suitable. Instead, you could select an option, such as vinyl or laminate, that comes in a range of styles—including mimicking natural materials like wood and stone.
