Commercial Flooring Mistakes

The flooring you choose when renovating or building your commercial space can have a huge impact on the indoor environment. Many companies make mistakes that result in loss of money and time, so you must be careful when choosing a floor for your business.

One of the most common mistakes companies make when selecting flooring is choosing the wrong type for their business, for example, hardwood floors are very beautiful and extremely popular, but hardwood floors may be the wrong choice for businesses with Open offices that are naturally noisier spaces than closed offices since more people share the same space. In this case, the carpet may be better because it absorbs up to 3 times more noise than wooden floors.

Also, Knowing the traffic pattern in your office is very important in choosing the best flooring option for you.

Another important aspect to consider is the maintenance of your floor, proper cleaning is essential to keep your floor looking like new.

Some flooring options require more maintenance than others; If that’s the case, you may be tempted to clean less often to save cost, but unfortunately, this will result in faster deterioration of your floor, meaning you’ll need to replace it sooner than expected.

It is important to consider the life of your flooring, and this will help you avoid costly mistakes that can affect your business.

LVT Wear layer Facts.

If you are wondering what wear layer is and why it is such an important consideration when choosing a new LVT flooring, You came to the right place!

The Wear Layer is a clear layer that covers the print layer of an LVT plank, protecting it from scuffs, scratches, and any other routine wear & tear.

 

 

 

The wear layer of LVT floors is an amazing feature that offers increased durability and low maintenance cost.

Wear layers are measured in thousands (one thousand of an inch). Flooring manufacturers generally offer LVT flooring wear layers in a wide range of thicknesses, from 8 mil to 22 mil.

Wear Layers come in a variety of thicknesses depending on the flooring manufacturer and the intended use of them.

For example, wear layers on LVT for commercial uses should be thicker, 20 mil to 22 mil or more to provide better protection against damage due to low, medium, or high traffic that commercial spaces typically have.

LVT for residential uses can have a wear layer of 8 mils or more. It all depends on the type of traffic you have in your home, but keep in mind that this has a direct impact on the durability of the flooring.

 

If you want durable and long-lasting flooring, LVT is a great option and the great news is that at Americarpet we have hundreds of styles and colors in all thicknesses needed for residential or commercial uses.

Differences between commercial carpet squares and planks

Commercial carpet tiles come in a wide variety of designs, colors, and patterns, but with regard to size and shape, they are two common types of carpet tiles.

The first one is SQUARES, this is the traditional option and the most common, flooring manufacturers normally offer tree sizes of square carpet tiles:

1) 39.4″ x 39.4″

2) 19.7″ x 19.7″

3) 24″ x 24″

The second type is PLANKS, carpet planks are a much more recent invention and tend to come in a relatively standard size of 9.85 “x 39.4”.

 

 

Now, what is the difference between squares and planks?

The most noticeable difference between carpet squares and planks is their shape, which influences the ranges of patterns you can achieve through various layouts. With carpet squares, you can either rotate tiles to mix up the look or offset tiles and install them in a brick layout, however for carpet planks in addition to the brick layout, you can also install using herringbone or basketweave layouts.

Another important difference between these two types of carpet tiles is the amount of waste that is produced during installation. While some degree of waste is to be expected with any carpet installation, tile size & pattern will affect how much extra carpet tile you need to do a job, for calculating this you would need an experienced person in the flooring business like Juan Werner our commercial estimator.

Wherever the choice, there is no doubt that carpet tile is a great flooring option.

Advantage of Carpet tile flooring in classrooms

Your Choice of flooring can affect the noise levels, comfort, cleanliness, and aesthetics of a classroom, and all these factors make an impact on the environment of the classroom.

Here are five advantage of choosing carpet flooring for your classrooms:

1) FLOORING THAT LOWERS NOISE LEVELS

The link between academic performance and high noise levels in the classroom is well documented.

There are different studies that conclude that the average classroom that has high levels of noise can cause high levels of stress.

That is why it is important to choose a good quality floor that ensures normal sound levels, in this case, a great option is Carpet which offers a reduction of sounds, such as footsteps and chair scrapes.

2) FLOORING THAT IMPROVES COMFORT

Classrooms that are too warm or too cold will be uncomfortable for students and provide another unwanted distraction.

Your choice of flooring can help to improve classroom insulation and reduce seasonal or daily temperature fluctuation. Using carpet will improve thermal comfort, for example in warm climates, the carpet will not heat up as dramatically as other floors, and in cold climates, it will act as an insulator between the ground and the classroom keeping the heat in.

3) FLOORING THAT HELPS TACKLE ALLERGIES

Carpet tile or Broadloom carpet usually traps the allergens in the fibers and keeps them out of the breathing zone until they can be removed by vacuuming, so choosing carpet can help to lessen the impact of allergens on student health.

4) EASY TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN

Vacuuming is quicker and less labor-intensive compering to another type of floor.

5) FLOORING THAT CREATES AN INSPIRING SPACE

Research shows that school design has a significant impact on student outcomes. Your classroom design can help to inspire and motivate students, by creating a positive learning environment.

Carpet tiles offer flexible patterning and color options, and you can even recolor existing designs to specifically match your school color.
