Types of Commercial Flooring
Though broadloom and Axminsters still dominate the sector in public spaces, corridors, ballrooms, and meeting rooms, East Coast Flooring & Interiors says that hard surfaces are becoming popular in common spaces, especially in boutique hotels and luxury properties. Many properties are using ceramic, marble, wood, and faux wood flooring in high-traffic areas like the lobbies, baths, and even the restaurants.
Luxury vinyl tile flooring and vinyl plank flooring have made dramatic strides in terms of its look in recent years. East Coast Flooring & Interiors is installing vinyl flooring in areas where owners want, for example, a wood-look but a product that is nearly indestructible and needs comparatively little maintenance. Vinyl flooring installation is also being used in extended stay hotels that have kitchens and is more prominent in the economy to the mid-scale market.
Some properties are incorporating both carpet and wood flooring, where wood is being used as a border around a carpet installation. Tile flooring is another favorite due to its high design quotient and durability. Both porcelain tile flooring and ceramic tile flooring are tough and extremely scratch-resistant, temperature tolerant and stain-resistant. They are easy to clean – just a light wipe or damp-mopping does the trick. And, both are allergy-free.
Another popular choice for hospitality flooring is commercial carpet tile installation. Carpet tile is versatile, easy to install and easy to replace (piece by piece). East Coast Flooring uses a lot of carpet tiles in mixed-use spaces, including corridors, guest rooms, and public spaces. Carpet tile requires less material to do the job in almost every case.
