retail flooring

When they enter a store, most consumers are focused on locating the perfect find. Whether they are just browsing or there with intent of purchasing a specific item, buyers rarely notice the floors beneath their feet. Owners and managers however, are conscientious of the impact commercial retail flooring can have on their business.

Environmental Impact
Buying trends are continuously evaluated based on several factors, one of which is climate. Weather influences commerce. And, commercial flooring is also subject to the weather. Change in seasons and shifting temps in New England bring precipitation that can have a negative effect on floors. Tracking moisture from rain and puddles can lead to slippery surfaces and increase liability concerns for business owners. Salts and snowmelt can also deteriorate a store’s commercial flooring solution if it’s not engineered appropriately.

Aside from New England’s weather, internal stressors from movable racks and displays can chip away at floors causing unsightly holes, and more importantly, resulting in safety risks to employees and customers. Storeroom areas are also vulnerable to cracking under the weight of heavy loads. Retail spaces require the durability to withstand constant foot traffic, motion, and load baring structures that result in wear and tear in this industry.
