Selecting the right commercial flooring is an important decision for any business. Flooring influences the aesthetics, functionality, and overall cost-efficiency of the space. Dreamwood offers a versatile range of flooring options that combine durability, style, and practicality to cater to various commercial needs. Read our guide to the best commercial flooring options, and explore our high-quality range today.
What to Look for in Commercial Flooring
When choosing flooring for your commercial space, it’s essential to consider the following factors:
Durability and Performance
Commercial flooring must withstand heavy foot traffic, equipment movement, and daily wear and tear. Opt for a material resistant to scratches, dents, and stains to ensure a professional and long-lasting appearance.
It’s also important to consider the demands of the space — will the floor need to support heavy weight or high levels of activity? For example, the pressure of a gym floor is very different to pressure of a restaurant or office space. Tailoring the flooring choice to these unique demands ensures optimal performance and longevity.
Slip Resistance
Safety is a top priority, particularly in areas prone to moisture or spills, such as restrooms, kitchens, or entrances. Slip-resistant flooring helps minimise the risk of accidents and ensures compliance with safety standards. It’s important to consider the space’s intention and choose safe flooring for everyone walking or working on it.
Ease of Maintenance
In busy commercial environments, downtime for cleaning and repairs can disrupt operations. Low-maintenance materials such as laminate and SPC planks are easy to clean and durable, reducing upkeep costs and ensuring the space remains presentable.
Aesthetics and Branding
Flooring plays a significant role in shaping the atmosphere and reinforcing brand identity. Options like engineered wood and wide TurkuX flooring offer a range of styles, from professional and clean to modern and luxurious. Customisable designs allow businesses to align flooring with their unique aesthetic goals. Talking to a flooring expert about your space and style needs will ensure you choose a floor that fits seamlessly with the aesthetics.
Business Considerations When Choosing Flooring
Choosing the best flooring also depends on the specific requirements of your business:
- Foot Traffic: High-traffic areas require durable solutions like SPC or laminate, which resist wear and scratches.
- Moisture Levels: Waterproof options like SPC or sealed engineered wood are essential for spill-prone areas, such as kitchens or healthcare facilities.
- Design Goals: Spaces like creative studios, fashion boutiques, or high-end retail stores benefit from visually striking options such as engineered wood or unique modular flooring designs.
