Deciding on carpet or vinyl plank commercial flooring for your business
The thought of selecting the wrong flooring can be overwhelming. After all, the whole place is disrupted by the flooring change. You will want to make sure you only need to do it once. But selecting commercial flooring doesn’t have to be a chore. First things first, you’ll need to determine the general purpose of the floors in your business.- What type of company do you have? Medical, industrial, and the food industry all may need waterproof flooring. Retail stores may have high traffic?
- What kind of atmosphere do you want to provide your customers? Do you need the comfort of carpet for your law firm? If you have a nautical apparel store, you may wish to have the look of hardwood. Whereas if you have a music store, you may need the sound barriers carpet helps provide.
- How much traffic do your floors see on a given day, and is it in a specific wear pattern?
- Will harsh chemicals, liquids, or sticky food be around your new flooring?
- Who is it that makes up the majority of your clientele? Farmers coming into a feed store will have dirty, heavy boots. Will children be running around the place, causing you to consider the softness as well as durability? Then again, if you have a pet store, you may need the waterproof floor choice.
