Commercial buildings are designed for businesses or offices to operate out of. Spread throughout the levels of the structure, a commercial building can be one unit like a hotel or house, or multiple offices operating simultaneously, like consultation studios, marketing agencies, travel booking offices, and many more. Owing to the nature of multi-office style buildings, they receive large footfalls on any given day. Choosing the right flooring for commercial buildings involves durable flooring solutions that consider the high traffic the property generates.

The Challenge of High-Traffic Commercial Spaces

In high-traffic commercial spaces, a challenge the businesses and offices face is maintaining cleanliness over long periods of time. The right kind of high-traffic flooring also needs to be comfortable, enduring, and useful for the building’s customers, employees, residents, and staff members. The layout of the building helps you to plan better: A commercial shopping centre is likely to have one uniform flooring solution for the entirety of its indoor building property, alongside respective brands and stores within that establishment having their own kind of flooring solution as well.

The ways to narrow down the most fitting durable flooring solutions are many - take into consideration the nature and style of your property and its layout. It could be a retail complex with many different businesses and shopping stores, an office building with individual offices, a restaurant hub, a warehouse, etc.

Key factors to consider for High-Traffic Flooring

Once you’ve understood the nature of your business property, selecting the optimal kind of high-traffic flooring is clear. We advise sticking to the basics to further implement the flooring solution most appropriate for your property.

1) Acoustics and air quality

A high-traffic zone needs high-traffic flooring or rather, flooring that helps enhance the building’s acoustics. This means surfaces that absorb reverberations, filter out and minimise harsh surrounding sounds and vibrations. Good acoustics also add to the ambience of the area.

For high-traffic areas, you want to invest in flooring that does not emit volatile organic compounds that can trigger allergies, headaches, and cause other health-related issues over time. A flooring solution that adds to the air quality indoors is a strong feature by itself, and for this reason, our Welspun Flooring HealthyFloor™ technology was developed. The Welspun Flooring tiles, engineered with this anti-microbial and anti-viral technology, can absorb carbon dioxide and reduce air pollution.

2) Comfort factor

In addition to flooring that’s supportive and comforting on the pads of the feet, you need flooring that can withstand heavy foot traffic, too. Carpet tiles provide comfort, softness, and thermal insulation; our carpet tiles, manufactured with Ny6+™, also give the tiles their superior colour retention, strength, stain and fade resistance properties.

When you choose flooring with specific enduring traits and supportive under layers, they will perform to meet your needs. Our hard Click-N-Lock® flooring options possess an IXPE backing underlayment that offers enhanced comfort, soundproofing, and cushioning. Welspun Flooring’s Click-N-Lock® tiles also make a good slip-resistant flooring type. They also possess features like scratch resistance and stain resistance.

3) Maintenance

In commercial buildings, a huge concern is floor maintenance. This concern can be minimised to an extent when you choose flooring tiles that serve as low-maintenance flooring - they don’t require intensive methods of cleaning. Welspun Flooring tiles are crafted to withstand regular wear and tear, and their surfaces are easy to sweep or gently vacuum over. This type of low-maintenance flooring doesn’t require much to clean up or replace.
 

The Wel-Lock™ technology of our Click-N-Lock® Tiles reduces the chances of trapping dust particles, pollen and other allergens. Additionally, the Welspun Flooring installation process is dust-free, noise-free, and quick - making installation smooth without causing any disruptions or delays to your business.
 

4) Safety features

A flooring style that takes into consideration day-to-day hazards and minor accidents is essential in any commercial building. With this in mind, our Click-N-Lock® Tiles are also designed to be flame-resistant, impact-resistant, skid-proof, and waterproof, enhancing their safety factor.

Maintenance and life-cycle cost considerations

Ultimately, for commercial buildings and the nature of their high-traffic zones, it’s advisable to opt for the kind of the flooring that is able to withstand a lot. When you have a flooring solution that caters to these aspects, you can make your product last a long time as an investment, and not a temporary fix.
 

The right kind of flooring also makes an impact on the people walking in and out of your structure - colours, feel, and function should not be underestimated. The life-cycle of Welspun Flooring tiles is long; mostly only requiring interim cleaning, restorative cleaning, and vacuuming methods.
