The first thing employees, customers or guests see when they enter a workplace is a reception or lobby area, so making a good first impression is crucial. Reception areas and lobby areas are typically high-traffic spaces with lots of people walking through, standing or even hosting meetings. This means you’ll need to choose flooring that is slip-resistant, durable to withstand a lot of foot traffic and is easy to maintain. Luxury vinyl tile, Terrazzo, and wood finish flooring products are popular options for office lobby and reception areas due to their design features, durability and ease of maintenance.
Terrazzo: Terrazzo flooring is a material best known for its simple maintenance and durability. Terrazzo floors are unique and stylish in presentation and offer a bold, chic statement in an office’s entrance. This flooring material provides an enduring, no-slip surface and is an excellent option for high-traffic zones like lobbies.
Wood finish: Wood finish flooring is also a great choice to enhance and welcome guests to an inviting office. Hardwood flooring continues to be popular, and incorporating wood within a stone or concrete look provides a trendy and upscale vibe. The natural ambience of wood floors creates a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, which is ideal for lobbies and reception areas.
Luxury Vinyl Tile: LVT is a type of vinyl flooring that looks like wood, stone, or tile, and it is a popular choice for commercial spaces because it is scratch-resistant, waterproof, and very durable. LVT flooring provides the ideal combination of beauty and durability while still being budget friendly.
Conference Rooms
When choosing the best flooring for meeting rooms or conference areas, the flooring design should set the tone for the space. The flooring selected for the meeting room can and should reflect the essence of the company and/or the purpose of the meeting room. Depending on the organization, a meeting space can look highly sophisticated, or it can be fun and energetic. Another factor for consideration will be the size of the meeting room and the furniture, fixtures and decor that will be there. For smaller meeting room spaces, a wide diagonal layout of LVT or wood flooring can create the illusion of more space.
Newest trends
One of the newest trends in law firms and other businesses is the use of glass walls and partitions. Selecting the right flooring to match this trend will be essential to creating a cohesive design and functionality. Some of the best flooring options for creating sophisticated, impressive or energetic meeting room spaces include:
Tile flooring: Tile flooring provides the ultimate chic, clean aesthetic, with gray tones providing a calm and organized environment, while patterned tiles merge fun with sophistication. Furthermore, tile flooring can be easy to clean, and its aesthetic can range from modern to traditional.
Commercial vinyl flooring: This product comes with elegant, authentic wood visuals and offers a fresh and clean look. It is also durable and budget friendly.
Carpet: Carpeting adds warmth and comfort when placed strategically in the office and meeting rooms. Carpet also offers noise absorption, making it an ideal flooring option for conference rooms.
Break Rooms
Because break rooms often feature employees eating or drinking, flooring that is easy to clean and maintain will be essential. Ideal flooring types of break rooms include:
Luxury Vinyl Tile: LVT provides an all-around attractive and comfortable flooring for breakrooms of any size. LVT comes in many design options, it is easy to clean and maintain, it is highly durable and affordable.
Concrete Tiles: Concrete tiles offer a V-shaped groove in a textured finish, providing excellent traction and an exciting tile pattern to match a break room’s essence. Also, concrete tiles are available in various colors, allowing you to choose the color best suited to meet your décor requirements.
Vinyl flooring: Vinyl flooring is another top flooring option for break rooms because of its low cost and ease of maintenance and installation. Vinyl flooring is also very versatile: It comes in many styles and is durable enough to withstand heavy traffic and spills.
Office floors should be:
Non-slip. An anti-slip floor is key to avoid slipping.
With high acoustic absorption. This quality partly depends on the floor’s ability to attenuate footfall noise.
Resistant. This characteristic is interesting in all types of offices, but especially in those with a high and constant traffic of people.
Antistatic. The recommendation is to choose antistatic floors to absorb most of the electrostatic tensions of electrical installations.
Hygienic. Office floors should be easy to clean and maintain. Alternatives are sought with a minimum maintenance cost, beyond daily cleaning.
