The Best Commercial Flooring Options For High-Traffic Areas

All types of flooring in your commercial business will show signs of wear and tear, but you’ll notice high traffic areas such as shop floors, kitchens, hallways etc wear out quicker than other areas of your space.

Discolouration, scratch marks and worn patches are the most common in high traffic areas and can be unsightly, especially for new visitors to your premises and it can also make your building look old and dated from the inside. 

But there are ways in which you can save yourself from receiving expensive replacement costs. So we recommend choosing floor types that are best suited for dealing with challenges such as high traffic areas. 

So what type of flooring qualities do you need to look for in high-traffic areas?

• Low maintenance: An area with heavy footfall will require frequent cleaning and maintenance which is why choosing flooring with low maintenance can save time
• Durability: It’s important to choose a flooring with great durability to withstand the amount of activity it will endure.
• Aesthetics: A high-traffic area suggests that a lot of people will be seeing it so it is important to ensure the flooring complements the interior design.

We’ve listed some of the top commercial flooring types you can choose for high traffic areas.

Commercial Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring has become the most popular flooring choice across commercial properties, including schools and educational establishments. 

Vinyl flooring can not only look like hardwood, stone or even tile, but it’s often a lower cost compared to other flooring materials. This makes it a great choice for business owners that are budget conscious.

With its durability and resilient properties, it’s a great choice for high-traffic areas. Some areas where vinyl flooring can be used include:

• School hallways
• Restaurants
• Medical offices

Commercial Carpet flooring

Although carpet flooring is not suited for all types of areas, it can be a great option for many commercial spaces that get a lot of traffic.

Carpet is generally a good option for businesses as it’s great for noise reduction and also a durable option for most spaces. 

The difference between using carpets and tiles is the range of styles they offer. By using carpet tiles in your commercial premises you will reduce the risk of any static build-up. This makes them ideal for computer rooms as it protects your expensive IT equipment and also prevents static shocks for room users.
