Introduction of newer materials is providing architects, interior designers and property owners with a wealth of flooring options to choose from
Flooring deserves valuable attention and care just like any other decor element. With the emergence of newer technologies, floors can now be tough, safe and eye-catching — all in the same breath.
Choosing the right floor for any space is important as it takes part in tying the overall look and functionality together. Apart from aesthetic considerations, the amount of traffic, function of space, required finish and safety features must be considered.
Introduction of newer materials is providing architects, interior designers and owners with a wealth of flooring options. Most prefer minimalistic flooring options though there is a wide variety of materials, such as hardwood, natural stone, carpeting and polished concrete, to choose from. Hospitality venues usually go for broadloom, carpet tiles and large sized natural stone tiles. Since hotels continuously deal with heavy traffic, one of the most important factor while choosing this product is long term durability.Hence, hoteliers often prefer polished concrete, rubber, hardwood and carpet tile depending on its utility in different areas. Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and carpet tiles have emerged as top preferences in the hospitality industry. Furthermore, advancements in printing technology have improvised these products with organic and graphical visuals.
