First impressions matter; especially when it comes to your business premises. If you are searching for ways to upgrade your client-facing environment, then a professional commercial flooring installation can transform the appearance of your premises, and provide practical benefits such as durability and ease of maintenance. From selecting the right flooring material to finding the right contractor, there are several key factors to consider when planning the installation of your commercial flooring. So, whether you’re renovating your current space or preparing to move into a new one, read on to learn how to plan a commercial flooring installation for your workplace.
Consider the Space
The first consideration when planning a commercial flooring installation should be the size and intended purpose of the space you are refurbishing. Having a clear idea of the way the space will be used will make the planning process much easier and more efficient, as you will be able to select the flooring materials that will best suit your premises.
Once you have a good understanding of your flooring requirements, you can explore which types of commercial flooring you like. This includes exploring different styles and materials to find the perfect flooring to enhance your commercial space and represent your business. If you are in a large office, then a stylish carpet in your brand colours is an excellent choice; similarly, if your premises do not get much natural light, then new vinyl flooring or bright wooden panels can create the illusion of light and space.
Assess the Durability and Maintenance Needs
Choosing the right flooring materials for your premises will depend upon the nature of your business and the durability and maintenance requirements of your premises. You don’t want to install flooring in high traffic areas that will quickly wear out and cost the company more in maintenance and repairs. By selecting the right flooring type for your premises, you can improve the aesthetic appeal, functionality, and durability of the space. For instance:
If your premises are a warehouse or factory, then you will need to install durable flooring that can handle heavy footfall, large machinery, and potentially transportation vehicles.⦁ If you run a restaurant, then you may want to consider heavy-duty vinyl flooring, as it is slip-resistant and easy to clean.
On the other hand, if you are in an office, you may want to consider carpeting for employee comfort.
If you’re refurbishing your commercial or office washrooms, then easy-to-clean tiles or vinyl would be a great choice.
If you’re refurbishing a retail store, hardwood flooring could be the perfect choice as it’s durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, as well as improving the overall aesthetic appeal of your premises.
When making this selection, remember to choose a material that suits your business’s demands and maintenance capabilities. For instance, if you choose carpeting, it will require vacuuming and occasionally deep cleaning to maintain its appearance and to present your business in the best light, so it is best to opt for heavy sheet carpeting or bespoke fibre carpets. Taking the time to select durable and low-maintenance flooring will reduce downtime and the amount of time lost to maintenance, cleaning and repairs.
