Durability + Maintenance
Durability is a no brainer. You want something that’s going to last. Flooring is an investment and a process in and of itself. There are flooring/carpet materials that are easier to replace than others when there is a nick or stain. Make sure to weigh the pros and cons of your flooring and or carpet material before purchasing. Find Pros and Cons Here.
Cost
Cost is always a big factor when purchasing any commercial-related item (especially today). It’s important to factor in purchase and install costs to your flooring budget. Materials like hardwood and rubber flooring tend to be more expensive while laminate, vinyl, and carpet are more cost effective.
Safety
Safety is another biggie. If an employee or customer is injured on the job due to an inadequate flooring, you’re going to have a lot more to worry about. It’s also important to think about your areas weather conditions and how to prevent tracking it indoors to make for a slippery, wet floor.
Aesthetic
This is the fun part! Picking the design of your flooring. It’s important to keep in mind the aesthetic of your brand while you’re making this decision. Choose something that reflects your business and that will last you for years to come. Don’t base it off of the latest flooring/carpet trends.

Another thing to keep in mind is that every space in your building has its own purpose. Think about the layout of your space before coming to a flooring decision. “Office buildings have different spaces that require different flooring types”. Using the same flooring throughout an office space can affect noise greatly.
