Which commercial flooring contractors is the expert of choice for hundreds of industrial flooring solutions?




There is one company which is the commercial flooring contractors for hundreds of commercial and industrial organisations across the north of England (more later) which delivers custom made solutions suitable for the job in hand. 

We take for granted the floor we walk on at work or in the shopping mall and seldom give it a thought, if at all. For the owners and custodians of these centres the flooring in place has to be robust and take the abuse of thousands of footfalls every day. Moving stock around in stores, dealing with spills of chemicals, food stuffs and liquids is an everyday occurrence for the owner, manager and staff of an industrial and/or commercial location.

As well as taking the pounding of high volumes of foot traffic in an industrial or commercial working environment, commercial flooring has to be able to withstand the potential of spillages of corrosives and other nasties. Not only that flooring laid in an industrial or commercial setting will need to withstand the constant use of wheeled trolleys and carts by staff, and in a store the shopping trolleys used by customers.

Depending on the location it is intended for there are many of different flooring materials with myriad different qualities. These can range from wooden block flooring, carpet tiles woven tightly for added strength and vinyl flooring tiles. There are many industrial and commercial settings in which they can be interchangeably deployed including but not limited to:

  • ·         Schools
  • ·         Colleges
  • ·         Hospital wards and corridors
  • ·         Toilets and washrooms
  • ·         Commercial kitchens
  • ·         Hotel lobbies, rooms and corridors
  • ·         Health centres
  • ·         Retail stores
  • ·         Chemists
  • ·         Laboratories

The aforementioned list is merely indicative of the many uses to which industrial and commercial flooring materials can be put to use. Each example requires careful consideration regarding potential traffic, potential spills and contaminants it will be exposed to in addition to cleaning and decontamination procedures. Not only that the type of cleaning and materials used to do the job also have to be taken into account.

The covering you choose will need to be suitable and presentable as well able to take the punishment of daily use. It may be in place for many years; with the right advice that time could be extended thereby improving efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Industrial vinyl flooring takes the pounding of high volume foot traffic



As well as taking the pounding of high volumes of foot traffic in an industrial or commercial working environment, industrial vinyl flooring easily withstands more than its fair share of abuse. Heavy footfall traffic in addition to constant moving of products and other consumables across the flow by wheeled carts and barrows, it is designed to withstand the very day use you will find in a modern commercial environment.
 
However, before you think that industrial strength vinyl flooring and coverings have to be bland and uninspiring, nothing could be further from the truth. Companies including but not limited to Karndean, Amtico, Polyflor Camaro Studioflor and Armstrong Rhinofloor are just a small selection of suppliers all of whom manufacture myriad designs, patterns and colours of flooring for just about any location or end use.

There are hundreds of other locations and circumstances where industrial strength vinyl and carpet flooring might be put to use. These include but aren't restricted to hotels lobbies, laboratory floor coverings which are resistant to spills and contamination and pharmacy flooring.

Let’s not forget also where vinyl flooring can be deployed to good effect. Schools and colleges, commercial kitchen flooring, flooring materials laid down in health centres as well as hospitals and retail stores. If you work chances are you're walking on industrial strength vinyl flooring at some point in your working day. If you're out shopping in Boots the Chemist, an Asda store or visiting the local health centre or gymnasium you're probably walking on it more times than not.

Changing rooms at sports centres and changing rooms in clothes and fashion stores are just a couple more examples of the durability and strength of viny flloring for industrial use. 


Bearing in mind the myriad locations it can be easily and effectively deployed, as you may imagine by now there is also myriad designs and colours available. All these factors and more should be taken into account before you make your final choice.

Getting the colour and relevant strength just right for the job in hand such as a commercial office, school, sports hall, golf club or other venue is best achieved with professional advice. The covering you choose will need to be suitable and presentable as well able to take the everyday abuse of a work place or public thoroughfare.
