The Ideal Types of Flooring for Commercial Spaces, Offices, Studios & Workshops

Are you a contractor, business people, or architects and have no idea what type of flooring you should choose for your business premises? Find out what types of flooring are ideal for commercial spaces such as office, hospital, workshops, studios.

Homogeneous Vinyl Floor

This material is made from one or more layers of PVC. Homogeneous vinyl floor is the vinyl itself that determines the finish, not a printed film. Popular for hospital, retirement home, and school floors because of its antibacterial characteristic, this flooring is equally durable, easy to maintain, stain resistant, and versatile. Its high level of resistance to nicks and abrasion make it a great choice for high traffic areas. In addition, homogeneous vinyl does not require waxing, only dry polishing, which makes maintenance even easier.

Raised Floor

The raised floor for offices is a raised pavement that allows maximum accessibility to all the elements that make up the facilities of an office. It is a product suitable for both outdoor and indoor areas and allows you to hide elements such as electrical installations, lighting, pipes, air conditioning. Any flexible modular cladding is recommended for offices. Eg: modular carpet, vinyl floor, rubber floor, etc. With regard to the dashboard rooms, computer center, etc. Huiya raised floors facilitate adaptable and personalized spaces by creating a raised floor in old offices and new spaces.

Linoleum Floor

Its manufacture from natural materials such as linseed oil, resin, limestone, and mineral pigments, with a jute base, has earned linoleum its reputation as a "green coating". It is also a material that is naturally antibacterial, biodegradable, insulating, and resistant to stains caused by alcohol-based disinfectants. Its wear layer provides durability and resistance to sag and abrasion. Linoleum is ideal for locations with high traffic levels and willing to accommodate relatively heavy rolling loads. These tiles are found in two meters (6”x6”) wide and in various thicknesses available in several styles.

PVC Planks or Tiles

Highly resistant, easy to install, repair and maintain, this coating is often used for commercial floors, often in the form of individual slats imitating hardwood or ceramic tile. This type of flooring allows flexibility due to its wide range of sizes and formats available. It is therefore possible to create a unique floor that will distinguish you from others. Its resistance to scratches and stains caused by alcohol-based disinfectants facilitates its maintenance and thus the time required for its cleaning. What's more, ESD Vinyl Floor Tiles are the ideal covering for raised floor systems in commercial and industrial places. Vinyl sheets or tiles provide long-lasting performance in the face of heavy traffic and rolling loads.

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles are also great for commercial locations. Stronger and more durable than ceramic, they are less vulnerable to breakage. Depending on their durability rating, more specifically their PEI level, ceramic tiles can be adapted to restaurant kitchens, shops to airports. Their availability of varieties, sizes, and finishes are endless and make them a popular choice. Its ease of maintenance also makes it a great choice, however, keep in mind that it can be more expensive and time-consuming to install than other types of flooring suitable for commercial space.

Rubber Floor

Ideal for surfaces with heavy traffic, rubber has a very high resistance. No wonder it is often found in busy places such as airports. Thanks to the vulcanization process, during its manufacture, the rubber obtains a high elasticity and has the ability to quickly resume its original shape. Its shock absorption, noise reduction, and heavy-object drop properties make it an ideal choice for training centers and gyms.

Carpet Tiles

This flooring offers both performance, resistance, design, and versatility. Modular carpet tiles are recommended for business, commercial, and office floors, but they can work well in almost any room in the house. In this case, carpet is not synonymous with old since carpet tiles have been able to adapt to trends. They are now available in several styles and colors to create a unique atmosphere. The ease of installation, replacement and maintenance of carpet tiles make them a great choice.
