As owner and operator of your business, you’re completely dedicated to seeing it succeed. You have the business plan, the network, the team, but what about the design aesthetic of your work space? Setting the tone, accessibility and overall feel of your business comes from the way your space is put together. Whether you’re designing or re-designing your work space, these three questions can help you make the best choice in regards to flooring for you and your business.
What are your needs?
The biggest question you should ask yourself is what kind of flooring will benefit your needs. Are you looking for more durability, or a more eye-appealing floor plan? Will the floors need to be cleaned often due to heavy foot traffic? Will the outside climate affect your indoor business? Consider practicality as a top priority, especially since you’ll be responsible for the upkeep of the floors in the future.
What is your style?
Your needs are extremely important, but your wants should be taken into account too. The tone of your business not only comes from your mission and customer service, but also by your office space. Color is a very important aspect of flooring to thinking about - some colors compliment while others clash. Color can distinguish your space as sleek and modern or rustic and homey. What do you want your space to say about you? When you can illustrate your company visually, customers will be impressed and will trust your judgment as a professional.

If you’ve been researching flooring, you’ve probably considered options like carpet, hardwood, ceramic tile, vinyl, and laminate. If what you’re looking for is a hard surface, durable, affordable, and aesthetically appealing, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) might be the flooring choice for you. LVT has the look of ceramic tile without the price tag, but is heavier duty and better quality than standard vinyl flooring. Here’s a look at the pros and cons of Luxury Vinyl Tile.
Pros
●Design Choices - LVT comes in a variety of colors and patterns. You can also choose different tile sizes and you have the option to grout between individual tiles to make it look more like ceramic.
●Quick Installation - Another plus side of choosing LVT over ceramic is that it can be installed in half the time! You also have the choice to make LVT a floating floor or glue it down. No padding, underlayment, or sawing is needed. Dust-free, score and snap install!
●Durability - Luxury Vinyl Tile is highly durable, scratch resistant, and moisture resistant. LVT is the best option for flooring that has excessive movements or cracks, and heavy foot-traffic areas.
●Easy Maintenance - LVT is easy to clean and maintain. You don’t need to do anything special to care for these floors. Just sweep and/or vacuum, and mop regularly. That’s it!
●Feel - For all the pros of real ceramic tile, one of the downsides is that it is very cold and very hard—not ideal flooring during the winter or for anyone with babies and toddlers, who could take a nasty spill on the unforgiving surface. Luxury Vinyl Tile feels warmer and more comfortable underfoot, and is also better at absorbing sound than ceramic tile.
There are few downsides to LVT, but it’s important to note that although the word “vinyl” evokes ideas of cheap or inexpensive flooring, Luxury Vinyl Tile is considerably more expensive than standard vinyl. It’s not quite as expensive as ceramic tile, but if you’re expecting low prices similar to those of vinyl flooring, you may end up surprised.
