Nothing will have an impact on the look and feel of an office space like the choice of flooring. A commercial office space requires a certain look and feel that reflects what goes on inside the building. Not only does flooring contribute to a room’s aesthetic, but also its functionality and level of comfort. At EzyOffice, our team look in every different spectrum of these to ensure our client’s workplace has the best balance of concepts & functionality.

Here’s a few areas to consider when selecting office flooring materials:

Lobby and reception areas

Durability and design are key considerations when selecting a flooring material for your office’s lobby. The lobby is the first thing customers, stakeholders, vendors and new employees will see. Your reception area flooring, therefore, must make a good first impression. It must also be able to withstand a high level of foot traffic without showing it.Here are a few materials that are durable and aesthetically pleasing enough to be used in your lobby:

1. Polished Cement Finish
2. Wood finishes
3. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT)
4. Ceramic Tiles

Open office spaces and break rooms

Office area flooring must match your facility’s desired aesthetic, absorb excess background noise and withstand high levels of foot traffic. It needs to tie into the design of your facility, and its maintenance costs need to fit into your budget. Durable, easy-to-maintain materials are best in general office areas. Here are a couple materials that would work in general office areas:

1. Carpet
2. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT)

Conference rooms & Meeting rooms

Conference rooms are the backdrop for important meetings with potential employees, clients and stakeholders. Because of this, design cannot be ignored in conference rooms—your flooring selection must make a good impression and fit with the room’s overall design aesthetic. While durability should always be a consideration when selecting flooring, it is less important for conference rooms because they generally have less foot traffic than the common areas of your office. Design & Acoustic level should be your key concern. Here are a couple materials that would work in conference rooms & meeting rooms :

1. Wood finishes
2. Luxury carpet
3. LVT

Pantry/Kitchen areas

Slip-, spill- and water-resistance should be top-of-mind when selecting flooring for your office kitchen. Kitchen flooring must also be easy to clean, maintain and repair, as spills are common and cleanliness is a must in food preparation areas.Here are a couple materials that would work in your kitchen area:

1. Ceramic Tiles
2. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT)
3. Linoleum

The recommendations above are only a few of the best-fit options for each room—your material options are virtually limitless. With your design and budget in mind, your flooring contractor should be able to guide you toward the best flooring material for each distinct area of your office.
