Flooring
Quality shop floors
While it may seem almost inconsequential, shop flooring is a very
important component of any business. Some shops choose to go with a modern
utilitarian look of unfinished, unpolished, cement-only floors – which is fine,
until cracks and fissures begin to show and inevitable spills and stains occur.
Others may compromise flooring quality in the interest of saving money, only to
have to repair or replace the flooring a few months later.
You naturally want a floor that is modern and contemporary in both material and technology, even if your shop style is not however, you also need flooring that is both safe and functional.

In selecting a floor, you will want to consider:
- Safety: As
always, you must ensure the safety of both your customers and your staff.
For their protection, as well as to protect your business against injuries
sustained by either the public or your employees, for which you are
potentially legally liable, you must make certain that your flooring selection
minimises skids, tripping, slipping and any other potential hazards.
- The business itself: When selecting a flooring style, you must consider the products or services that you are selling or providing. For example, a business that sells clothing, greeting cards and novelties or sporting goods may consider a flooring material and style that differs entirely from a pet shop, a perfumery or a food outlet, all of which regularly encounter liquid spillage.
- Your primary market: A shop that caters mostly to children or teenagers is going to experience more practical wear and wear on its floor than a shop that caters primarily to adults.
- Your design: How large is your shop area? Are you planning one type of flooring exclusively or a combination of flooring style? For example, a carpeted area for clothing displays and a wood floor area for dressing rooms. If you are planning a combination of flooring, have you also planned for reliable transition installations between the flooring to prevent trips and falls?
- Your budget: Flooring prices can vary widely so it’s important to discuss your vision with qualified and experienced professionals to get a clear picture of what your budget will allow.
