Do you have an upcoming commercial construction project? Are you wondering the best type of commercial flooring to fit the building? Well, before you choose any type of flooring, you should learn more about the following.

  1. What Are The Unique Needs Of The Business?

First, you need to consider the type of business that needs flooring. By understanding the location, you can make an informed choice when it comes to choosing the best commercial flooring. For instance, if it’s a spa or salon, the atmosphere should be relaxing. If the commercial flooring is to be used in an assisted living facility, it should be inviting and practical.

Hospitals and manufacturing facilities require easy-to-clean, durable and strong floors. Daycare centers, schools and libraries require floors with bright hues to engage families and children. Therefore, the purpose of the business will determine the type of flooring to choose from.

  1. Design Questions To Answer

When choosing commercial flooring, you need to answer a few design questions such as the following.

• What is the function or purpose of every room in the building?

• Do you have an ambiance you want to portray and what’s the best color scheme or pattern to achieve this?

• What are the plans for the building layout? For instance, will it be fully carpeted or will some areas use laminate, hardwood or vinyl flooring?

• Are there any rooms in the building that needs to remain sterile?

• Do you need to install durable flooring that can withstand high traffic?

• Are you working in an environment that needs to be disinfected regularly with harsh chemicals?

  1. What Are The Flooring Recommendations By Industry?

Keep in mind that different commercial industries have varying flooring recommendations. With the right type of commercial-grade flooring, things in the business will run smoothly. Since most businesses have high traffic areas, you need to choose the best flooring to meet these high-traffic needs.

Thanks to Hauglie’s Flooring, you should be able to choose the best commercial flooring to meet your needs. We are here to help you make the best decisions when it comes to commercial flooring. Here are some of our flooring recommendations depending on the type of industry.

• Medical Practices

Medical buildings experience a lot of foot traffic as well as a lot of wear due to the continuous transfer of medical equipment from one room to the other. Medical practitioners and patients prefer smooth and durable floors like linoleum floors to make rolling effortless.

Note that, there are strict sanitation requirements to prevent spreading diseases. Things are likely going to get dirty very fast in a hospital or a doctor’s office. Managers in medical buildings should ensure sanitation is effortless with easy-to-clean flooring.

• Retail Centers

Here, the type of flooring is different depending on the type of business, visual branding standards and the corporate identity. For instance, high-end stores focusing on fashion have a sophisticated aesthetic so they might choose hardwood floors.

Budget-conscious retailer centers may opt for a durable floor choice like vinyl. Other businesses also prefer carpet tile flooring, especially for those businesses that need a softer style for their stores.

• Office Buildings

Office workplaces differ when it comes to their function so the floors should reflect the company’s brand. In a large corporation or small business, flooring can be used to designate different types of rooms. For instance, the break room could have durable flooring like ceramic tile. On the other hand, a corporate boardroom may look dignified with something upscale like luxurious carpeting or hardwood floors.

• Salons And Spas

Here, commercial flooring should be durable and stylish. The material should withstand any spillover from washing stations or heavy foot traffic from customers and attendants. The floors should be comfortable for workers who spend their days on their feet. Vinyl commercial floors are the best choice for salons and spas.

• Restaurants
The aesthetic value of the floor is important in a restaurant but it should also be safe, durable and easy-to-clean. Hardwood, cork, tile, vinyl and laminate are ideal flooring choices for restaurants. Carpet floors are also ideal for upscale restaurants due to the aesthetic and ability to minimize noise. Call Hauglie’s Flooring today to find the best commercial flooring for your needs.

Our Clients Say

  • L Asperheim
    Hauglie's Inc is the ONLY company we will use for our flooring needs! They have done a number of residential projects for us over the last 20 years and we could not be more pleased. Most recently, they installed all of the flooring in our newly built home. The LVT, carpet and padding are top notch. We have also had tile work done in the past and it was amazing! Jon, Jim and Andrea, as well as all of the installers, have been nothing but professional and helpful. From picking out colors and products, to completing our projects and answering our questions in a timely manner. Highly recommended!

    I first used Hauglie's Flooring about 7 years ago. I called them because a friend strongly recommended them. I had used a competitor in the past and had been satisfied with their work, but my friend said I just had to give Hauglie's a chance. WOW, is there a difference in flooring companies. From the minute I spoke to them I knew this was going to be my new flooring company. Courteous , fair, caring, not pushy, on time, on budget, and most of all HONEST. If your looking for a top notch flooring company that does it all HAUGLIE"S FLOORING is the place.

    I have used Hauglie's Flooring for several years now on many project from large commercial jobs and personal bedrooms. When they say there is no job to small or too big, they mean it. I have bid Hauglie's against other vendors and they have always been the most economical - great carpet at a great price, and their team is always very responsive.

    We had Hauglies install carpet in our sunroom, a family room and bedroom downstairs, and stairway. The entire process was wonderful - Andria (the office manager) was extremely knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. John, (one of the owners) was personable, funny, knowledgeable, also helped with our selection as well as coming to our home to measure the areas to be covered and provide the estimate. The installers were precise, completing the job perfectly and neatly. I highly recommend the quality and service of Hauglies!

    Did an amazing job installing carpet in my house. The lady at the showroom was extremely helpful and informative. John was very professional and friendly when he came out to take the measurements. The installers did a very good job, actually showed up early not late like most and got it done quick.
