Four Questions to Help You Pick The Best Commercial Flooring
Your commercial flooring needs to be right to ensure the continued success of your business. To help you choose the best flooring for your needs, ask yourself the follow four questions to narrow down your search.
1) What is the function of the flooring area?
Asking yourself ‘what is the function of this area?’ means understanding that different areas of your business premises have different purposes. For example, your office space is used for very different reasons than a factory floor, hallway or even a breakout room. By understanding what that space is for will help you choose the right flooring to fulfil that need.
2) What properties does the flooring need?
Once you understand the function of your space, determine what properties your commercial flooring needs in order to allow maximum productivity, safety and purpose. If the space is used to food preparation, you’ll need a floor that’s easy to clean, such as heavy duty resin bound epoxy screeds. Or if it’s a reception area, a floor that’s both attractive and anti-slip, like flow applied epoxy flooring, might be a more suitable option.
3) Does my commercial flooring need a seal?
A particularly important consideration when choosing commercial flooring is whether or not you need it sealed, especially if it’s to withstand heavy traffic. Floor seals provide a protective chemical film to the flooring’s surface, which prevents dusting and reduces the amount of maintenance required. It also prevents water penetration of concrete flooring that can be a major cause of degradation.
4) What is my budget?
For many, the deciding factor on choosing a new commercial flooring is the price. Getting the right balance between affordability and quality can be difficult, so it’s worth doing your research by reading product reviews and looking around for the best deals. If you’re still not sure about which commercial flooring is best for your business, consult a flooring expert who will be able to run through the benefits and properties of the available options.
