Why consider sheet vinyl flooring for your commercial space? It’s a popular choice thanks to its design, durability, ease of care, safety and health factors… the list goes on and on. Any commercial flooring contractor should be an expert at installing sheet vinyl flooring in a way that cuts a multitude of costs over time in smart, forward-thinking ways.
1. Sheet Vinyl Flooring Is Durable
Any commercial space needs to accommodate heavy foot traffic on a daily basis. It’s not just about volume of customers, either. The more successful you are at keeping customers in the space and continuing to make purchases, the more durable your floor needs to be.
Vinyl sheet flooring works best in larger rooms. The sheet comes in wide rolls of 6 or 12 feet. Like carpet, in bigger rooms sections of the sheet are fused together. There are two different kinds of sheet vinyl, inlaid and rotogravure. Inlaid vinyl sheets feature a color pattern that goes all the way through the entire sheet, providing higher durability. Rotogravure is a more economical choice that consists of a foam base that is printed with ink and covered with a wear layer.
2. It Cuts Costs and Avoids Losses
The clear wear layer protects the surface of the floor from foot traffic, marks, gouges, and spills. That’s one element that contributes to its durability, and this translates into savings. That wear layer can be re-coated by a commercial flooring contractor if it sustains damage.
This saves you having to replace entire sections of floor – an act that isn’t just interruptive and distracting to customers, but that can also shut down an entire section of your commercial space. Avoiding this both cuts replacement costs and avoids lost customer or client spending.
3. It’s Quick Cleaning
One of the primary reasons why you consider sheet vinyl flooring is for ease of cleaning. The materials chosen for a commercial space should be easy to clean. This reduces your janitorial costs and the time employees have to stay after hours. When spills are easy and quick to clean, it also improves safety factors that help reduce your liability risk.
4. It’s Hygienic
Sheet vinyl flooring is an extremely popular choice for hospitals. A commercial flooring contractor will install sheet vinyl flooring in such a way as to reduce allergen accumulation, and reject mold and mildew. This helps customers feel better in the space, helps keep staff healthier and more reliable over time, and reduces the risk of costly mold and mildew remediation.
