You and your team handle a lot in your office, which is why it may need a few updates occasionally. However, when it comes to flooring, there are so many options that it isn’t always easy to narrow down the selection. Here are three considerations you should make before choosing office flooring.

What to Think About Before Choosing Flooring

1. Location

Every portion of your office receives a different level of use. Think about whether people will be stepping onto the flooring after coming in from outside, whether they will be eating over the flooring, and what kind of furniture will be placed in the area. In areas where your team likes to eat and drink, such as the kitchen, think about selecting a hard, waterproof flooring, such as vinyl plank or linoleum. Conference rooms experience less foot traffic, so prioritizing aesthetics here is a smart choice.

2. Maintenance Requirements

As you shop for flooring, evaluate the maintenance requirements recommended by manufacturers, and make sure your team can handle the task. Choosing durable, low-maintenance flooring varieties such as tile or nylon carpeting may lower your overall maintenance costs and help you to extend the life span of your investment. Additionally, hardwood flooring is simple to clean and won’t trap dust the way carpet does, which makes it easier on those with allergies.

3. Aesthetics 

Think about how the flooring will lend to the look of your office. Carpet typically offers a warmer, cozier feeling while dampening sound, while hardwood and tile create a sleeker, more streamlined look. Meanwhile, luxury vinyl tile provides minimal upkeep and will look almost as appealing as hardwood, making it ideal for reception areas.
