Laminate Flooring
Laminate is an aesthetically pleasing, multi-layer synthetic flooring product that has been fused together during a lamination process. It’s often designed to generate a real-wood or tile effect. If you’re looking for value for money, laminate flooring may be your best option. It’s affordable, durable, and versatile, making it resistant to heavy traffic. It’s also easy to clean and maintain.
However, laminate flooring is not completely watertight when it is laid due to the small gaps between the panels. These can let liquid through which can subsequently result in buckling, warping, or fading over time. If spillages occur, try to get them mopped up as quickly as possible to prevent any lasting damage.
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring comes in large, continuous, flexible sheets. It’s versatile and a popular choice thanks to its availability in an almost limitless number of styles. It is affordable and has many benefits including an easy installation as well as a low-maintenance and water-resistant finish.
Though vinyl flooring comes with many advantages, it is not as strong as traditional wood flooring and unfortunately it can be hard to repair once damaged. As adhesive is often used during the application process, it means that it can also be difficult to remove. Due to this, it’s important to take particular care to protect it, such as vacuuming and mopping regularly.
Carpet & Tile
Commercial carpet is a special grade of carpet that is made specifically to withstand heavy traffic while being easy to maintain. It’s often made with hard-wearing synthetic fibres. Carpet used in commercial settings often brings warmth to a space – both aesthetically and physically.
Although steps are taken to increase the durability of commercial carpets during the production process, the bottom line is that they are more susceptible to damage than alternative flooring options. They are simply more difficult to clean and maintain which is something to consider when choosing flooring for your commercial space. However, with a great selection of carpet cleaners available, it is still a fantastic choice.
