Do you need new floor for your commercial space?  Commercial spaces typically see more use than residential spaces.  Whether it is in a retail location, restaurant, office or gym, commercial flooring must excel at beauty, durability, and ease of maintenance.

High-Traffic Commercial Flooring Options

There is a wide range of commercial floor options to fit every type of business, style, and budget.  Here are our top five choices:

  1. Industrial Carpet

If keeping the noise down is a consideration, it’s hard to beat carpet.  Carpet makes spaces feel warm and welcoming.  When it is installed correctly, it is durable.  Most of us are familiar with traditional carpeting that comes on huge rolls, but carpet tiles may be a better option for most situations.  One major advantage of industrial carpet tiles is the ease of repair.  If any part of your floor is stained or damaged, you can easily and quickly remove and replace the damaged tiles.

  1. Concrete Flooring

If durability is your primary concern, concrete could be your best bet.  Concrete is durable, and because many commercial spaces already have concrete subfloors, it can be economical.  While unfinished concrete is quite durable, there are a variety of high-performance sealants and coatings that can turn an ordinary concrete floor into a stain-resistant, nonslip surface.  In addition, polished concrete can be beautiful and reflects light and can fit in any space.

  1. Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring has been around for thousands of years and is still a popular choice.  They are naturally attractive, durable and resilient.  While they may not stand up to the same level of abuse that concrete floor might, they are more comfortable to walk and stand on.  Today’s finish options can make hardwood floor even more durable than it naturally is.

  1. Vinyl Flooring

If price is your primary concern, vinyl flooring can mimic the look of hardwood, tile, or stone at a much lower cost.  Commercial vinyl flooring is available in tile, plank and sheet form, making it versatile enough for nearly any situation.

  1. Cork Flooring

If your employees or your customers will spend a lot of time on their feet, the natural springiness of cork can reduce fatigue and may even improve productivity.  In the past, cork flooring required frequent refinishing.  Many of today’s cork floor options combine cork with resins and epoxies to make a durable, attractive surface suitable for any commercial location.

Choosing the right floor for your commercial space isn’t difficult, but if you make the wrong choice, you could replace your floor sooner than you would like.  No matter what type of business you have, there is the flooring option that will deliver the look, performance, and price you’re looking for.
