It doesn't matter if your business is a new construction or an upgrade. One of the first priorities should be proper flooring. Commercial flooring comes in many materials, but choosing the right one for your application can save you money in both the short term and long run.
Preventing slips can help keep insurance bill down. By installing a slip resistant flooring, you can prevent employees or guests to your business from taking an unfortunate slip and obtaining injury.
How durable the industrial flooring is can be a big factor. If you frequently move heavy objects across the floor, you will need something that is going to withstand the abuse.
Cleanliness is extremely important in some applications. Commercial flooring in health clinics, veterinary clinics or commercial kitchens are among the businesses that need to pay attention to the sanitary factor. Bacteria can grow in a non-porous floor. A porous floor takes longer to dry and therefore gives bacteria a longer time to multiply. Your floor will not be clean. It will just look clean.
The time of installation is important as well. Time is money and the longer the downtime, the more expensive your commercial flooring becomes.
If the temperature of your industrial complex is subject to temperature extremes, you should consider flooring that has been cured to accommodate those temperatures. Industrial floor resin may be a choice to eliminate the issue of temperature variance.
Rubber flooring may be less expensive in some instances, but the replacement time may well be a lot shorter than a seamless floor. The edges will crack if it is a heavy traffic area. This not only presents an additional avenue for bacteria growth in your commercial flooring, it also is an accident waiting to happen. Floor resin is a better choice. It's seamless applications can prevent both of these from happening.
Tile floors present other hazards. As the tile separates from the substrate, it will cause the surrounding tiles to also come loose. The grout deteriorates and allows the introduction of bacteria and dirt. Not only does this provide you with odor and cleaning problems, it will eventually cause the surrounding tiles to crack.
Methylmethacrylate is a big word that is commonly abbreviated to MMA. It is a good idea to compare these products with some of the better flooring materials. Things such as compressive, tensile and flexural strength are very important. You want a floor that will last for a long time. Quality is what will get you that.
Commercial flooring comes in many shapes and forms, from gym floors and locker rooms to retail businesses. While color may not be an issue in a gym or locker room, cleanliness and sanitation go hand in hand and are very important. Have you considered floor resin?
In a retail setting, your entryway is the introduction to your business. An eye appealing, durable, patterned floor in colors that will coordinate with the rest of your business will get your customers into your shop. A slippery marble or tile floor may be lovely, but a little moisture can cause dangerous slips and injuries.
Appearance, durability and ease of installation are all issues to consider before selecting the commercial floor covering that is right for your business.
