Commercial SPC Vinyl Flooring

Stone-plastic composite (SPC) vinyl flooring is an ideal choice for high-traffic areas, thanks to its 100% waterproof design and exceptional durability. With advanced four-layer construction—comprising a backing layer, SPC core, printed vinyl layer, and wear layer—SPC vinyl flooring stands as a top-tier option in the market.

This high-quality rigid core vinyl delivers realistic wood, tile, and stone-look finishes that not only enhance aesthetics but also withstand tough conditions. Plus, its low-maintenance nature means it only requires minimal cleaning to keep it looking its best.

Best for: Areas that receive a lot of foot traffic, such as restaurants, medical offices, hotels, kitchens, and bathrooms.

Pros of Commercial SPC Vinyl: 

  • 100% waterproof: SPC vinyl consists of layered construction that is 100% waterproof throughout. This is a fantastic choice for businesses worried about moisture content or water damage. 
  • Durability: SPC vinyl’s core protects against dents, while its wear layer withstands spills and scratches. 
  • Easy installation: Installation is no hassle, with interlocking planks that snap into place.
  • Sound absorbent: SPC vinyl’s attached underlayment absorbs sound waves very effectively

Cons of Commercial SPC Vinyl: 

  • Price: SPC vinyl can be more expensive than some other commercial counterparts, but with all the perks of stylish, realistic, and resilient flooring, it pays off.
  • Comfort: It has a sturdy and rigid feel, so users may notice this flooring is slightly uncomfortable underfoot.

Commercial Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is one of the top alternatives to stone and wood flooring, offering stunning aesthetics at a more affordable price compared to hardwood. Its synthetic design provides ultra-realistic options, with finishes like smooth, hand-scraped, embossed, and distressed, giving you plenty of styles to choose from.

A key advantage of laminate is its scratch and stain resistance, making it a great choice for commercial spaces. Additionally, its wear layer offers superior protection against yellowing and fading from UV light, outperforming many other flooring options, including vinyl. 

*Pro-tip: Consider the AC rating of your laminate flooring choice. Our experts recommend an AC rating of 4 to 5 to ensure your flooring stands up to your commercial environment. 

Pros of Commercial Laminate:

  • Styles: Laminate flooring comes in several stylish and cost-efficient styles to spruce up commercial spaces. Compared to genuine hardwood flooring, laminate flooring offers consistent textures and tones. 
  • Comfort: You’ll find this flooring option comfortable underfoot and great for everyday use in commercial environments.
  • Maintenance: Like vinyl, the wear layer of laminate flooring is easy to maintain.

Cons of Commercial Laminate:

  • Sound: Laminate can create a hollow sound if placed over an uneven subfloor, to begin with. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and include a good underlay for the most seamless installment.
  • Water resistance: Nowadays, many laminates come in various waterproof options. However, some are only water-resistant. This category of water-resistant laminates can only handle a certain extent of high-moisture concern, and they should be kept dry. If not, a vapor barrier can help mitigate this concern.

Commercial Vinyl Sheet Flooring

Vinyl sheet flooring offers a contemporary update to a timeless favorite. With a wide range of designs, from tile and stone to decorative wood looks, you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your space.

Modern vinyl sheets are highly durable, featuring multiple layers built to endure heavy traffic in commercial environments. For optimal protection, our experts suggest choosing vinyl sheets with an extra thick wear layer, ideally between 15MIL and 20MIL, for maximum durability.

Best for: Any commercial space aiming to showcase a distinctive aesthetic. You’ll commonly find vinyl sheets in office foyers, hotel lobbies, hospitals, and schools. 

Pros of Commercial Vinyl Sheet Flooring:

  • Styles: Vinyl sheets come in a wide range of colors and designs. This flooring product often comes in large sheets, making it perfect for projects that require a seamless look.
  • Durability: Vinyl sheets also have a reputation of having a strong wear layer, which makes them perfect for maintenance and withstanding scratches and dents that come with heavy traffic. 
  • Stain-resistant: The transparent layer on top of vinyl sheets acts as a surface barrier against spills and stains. This type of flooring requires minimal maintenance to clean thoroughly. 

Cons of Commercial Vinyl Sheet Flooring:

  • Replacements: When damaged, replacing vinyl sheets isn’t the easiest. You will have to remove the entire flooring section, unlike removing a single tile or plank with other flooring options. 
  • Not DIY-friendly: Considering that commercial vinyl sheet flooring must be glued down, it can be challenging to install. For proper installation, it’s recommended flooring professionals manage the process.

Commercial Tile Flooring

Tile flooring offers both beauty and durability, and when glazed, it is completely waterproof. From porcelain to ceramic, there is a wide variety of options to suit any style.

Commercial-grade tiles are typically thick and strong, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. With countless patterns, designs, and shapes available, you can create a unique aesthetic for your commercial space, starting from the ground up.

When selecting porcelain tiles, it’s important to consider where they will be installed. Although less common today, the PEI rating from the Porcelain Enamel Institute can still provide useful guidance. For high-traffic areas, look for porcelain tiles with a PEI rating of 4 or 5 to ensure maximum durability. 

Best for: Entryways for restaurants, lobbies, spas, and luxury spaces. Anywhere you would like to make a visual impact, flooring tiles are the way to go. 

Commercial Carpet

Commercial carpet rolls and modular carpet tiles provide stylish and customizable flooring options. The three most popular materials used in commercial carpets—nylon, polyester, and polypropylene—are all known for their exceptional durability, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. 

Many commercial carpets, often referred to as Berber carpets, feature loop pile fibers. These fibers are looped into the carpet backing, creating a durable, low-pile surface that resists crushing and matting, unlike carpets with cut fibers.

Pro-tip: For added comfort and sound absorption, consider pairing your commercial carpet with rubber roll underlayment.

Best for: Creating a comfortable and inviting space! You can find many commercial carpet designs in offices, apartment complexes, gyms, and rental real estate. 

Pros of Commercial Carpet:

  • Styles: Commercial carpet has loop fibers, making them extra durable against dirt, vacuum trails, and footprints. With a range of sizes and looks to choose from, you’ll find your match. 
  • Sustainable: For eco-conscious buyers, many carpet rolls and tile options are made from organic or recycled materials, like plastic beverage bottles. 
  • Price: Compared to other commercial flooring options, carpet is a winner for being cost-effective. 

Cons of Commercial Carpet:

  • Thickness: Depending on the quality, you may notice a range of thicknesses among broadloom carpet and tiles. However, it’s all based on personal preference!
  • Maintenance: Carpets attract oil and dirt and require additional care to keep a fresh appearance. Depending on what material you purchase, you can hide imperfections quite easily.
