Heading back to the office?

Heading back to the office and worried you won’t be able to cope with the increased footfall? Don’t worry, Flooring Direct can recommend suitable vinyl flooring that would be suitable to help you deal with the increased wear and tear of employee footfall.

Heading back to the office

Everybody is now bored of talking about COVID. Although precautions need to still be in place, the common consensus is that people are now going back to the office. We’re all being encouraged to get back to work. But as a business owner, are you prepared for your employees to come back to work?

For some business owners, they are looking to change the office around completely. New flooring, new chairs, new wallpaper, sometimes even a new neon sign! It all matters as we come back to work. However, some owners may have reservations about new furniture and equipment being damaged. Not to worry though, in this article we talk about suitable vinyl flooring which will be cost-effective but also damage resistant. So if you are a business owner, and you’re looking to welcome employees back, continue reading!

What is the best flooring for your office?

Offices will often have high traffic areas and therefore would require damage resistant flooring which would be able to keep well under a high volume of traffic. There are plenty of ranges of flooring which do this, but our recommendation from the off would be vinyl flooring for commercial spaces. At Flooring Direct, we provide a lot of commercial spaces and offices with durable vinyl floors, and the feedback is always generous.

Distributing all over the UK, our vinyl flooring range includes floors that have been designed for offices, shops, galleries and even schools. What’s good about vinyl is that you can also get it designed to suit your spaces.

There is a common misconception that hard-wearing durable floors don’t have the WOW factor that many offices want to go for. This isn’t true. Thanks to the development in technology, the flooring industry has been pushed into the 21st century. Thanks to embossing techniques, colourful and bright vinyl floors are now available in many different styles. The embossing factor does not take way the slip-resistance factors either, this is something to note for any business owner.

Why is vinyl flooring good for commercial areas?

Vinyl flooring is good for commercial spaces because it is cost-effective. Whilst laminate and wood flooring are popular thanks to their aesthetics, they are not always the most cost-effective. For many businesses, wood flooring would not always be the best choice from a health and safety point of view either.

However, we would rather focus on the positives rather than the negatives. Industrial vinyl floors designed for commercial purposes can reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace. If you have a heavy volume of traffic, whether it be an office for a marketing agency, or a shop floor, vinyl flooring should be resistant enough to the volume of traffic.

This means it is also less likely to tear, so won’t create trip hazards. There are also fewer chances of anyone slipping, as the flooring should be thick and tough enough to be slip-resistant.
