Commercial Flooring

With commercial spaces constantly evolving, we’ve adapted to new trends and processes of complex multi-surface flooring projects. What is the difference between Domestic flooring, Safety Flooring and Commercial flooring.

You wouldn’t be the first.

In a nutshell, there are a few factors that you should consider when choosing your commercial flooring; cost, durability, installation and style.

Do you want carpet, vinyl, tile or LVT?
Do you need a low-maintenance option?
How much downtime can you manage for installation?
What type is the subfloor and what condition?

Popular Choices:

Carpet tiles in corporate patterns, resilient vinyl with slip-resistant surfaces. We stock Heckmondwike, Forbonaire and Polyfloor.

Commercial Carpet

Commercial carpet rolls and modular carpet tiles offer looks that are both trendy and customisable. The three most common materials for commercial carpets are nylon, polyester, and polypropylene, all of which are ultra-durable.

* Pro-tip: Many people buy rubber roll underlayment with their commercial carpet for extra comfort and sound absorption. If you’re looking for strong, waterproof underlay we recommend Duralay 650 rubber underlay.

We stock a range of popular brands and work closely with the best carpet manufacturers to deliver competitive prices all over London.

Impervious Back Carpet

Impervious back carpet, also known as water resistant carpet, features a special backing material that prevents liquids from penetrating through to the subfloor.

This type of carpet is typically:

Constructed with a tightly woven pile on top
Made from PVC or other synthetic materials
Has unique structural properties allowing for easy cleanup

*KEY BENEFITS OF IMPERVIOUS BACK CARPET*

Moisture Resistance: One of the standout features of impervious back carpet is its ability to resist moisture.
Durability and Longevity: The combination of a tough pile surface and a resilient backing ensures that the carpet retains its appearance and functionality even after years of use.
Easy Maintenance: Cleaning and maintaining impervious back carpet is straightforward.
Versatility: Whether you’re looking for a sleek, modern aesthetic or a cosy, traditional feel, there’s an option to suit your taste and needs.
Comfort and Safety: The soft pile options offers a cushioned feel, reducing fatigue for those who stand or walk for extended periods. Additionally, the carpet’s backing provides stability, reducing the risk of slips and falls.

*Pro Tips* Correct preparation of the subfloor is essential to ensure a smooth and secure fit. It’s also important to select a high-quality carpet with an appropriate backing material for your specific needs.

Consulting with a professional installer can help ensure the best results and longevity of the carpet.

When it comes to choosing flooring for commercial spaces, schools, healthcare facilities, or even residential areas prone to spills and moisture, finding a durable and reliable carpet option can be a challenge.

That’s why we recommend using an impervious backed carpet — a resilient solution designed to withstand the rigours of high-traffic environments that face the daily challenges of your space.

Fibre Bonded Carpet: A web of robust comfort

Fibre bonded carpet stands out as an exceptional choice, offering a blend of strength, resilience, and visual appeal. This type of carpet is especially popular in commercial settings, educational institutions, and other busy environments where longevity and ease of maintenance are crucial.

What is Fibre Bonded Carpet?

Unlike traditional carpets, which are tufted or woven, fibre bonded carpets are produced using a needle punching process. This involves punching synthetic fibers, such as polypropylene or nylon, through a webbed backing material. The resulting carpet is dense, flat, and highly durable, with a surface that resists wear and tear.

*KEY BENEFITS OF IMPERVIOUS BACK CARPET*

Durability: One of the standout features of fibre bonded carpet is its toughness. The needle punching process creates a tightly interlocked structure, making the carpet highly resistant to crushing and wear. Ideal for corridors, stairwells, and public spaces.
Low Maintenance: Its flat and dense profile resists dirt and stains, and it can be easily cleaned with regular vacuuming.
Cost-Effective: Due to its durability and low maintenance requirements, fibre bonded carpet offers excellent value for money.
Slip Resistance and Safety: The dense, non-slip surface of fibre bonded carpet makes it a safe choice for areas where slips and falls are a concern.
Eco-Friendly Options: Many manufacturers offer eco-friendly fibre bonded carpets made from recycled materials. These carpets are a great choice for those looking to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on quality.

Our favourite type of carpet is Heckmondwike Supacord, used in classrooms for over forty years, and now considered the number one carpet solution for schools, colleges and universities.

It feels comfortable and robust, and will retain it’s shape and texture for years to come. We do suggest cleaning the carpet professionally every 6 to 12 months.

LVT Planks: The Perfect Blend of Style and Durability

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) planks have taken the flooring industry by storm, offering a versatile and stylish alternative to traditional materials like hardwood, stone, and ceramic tile. We receive new samples styles and are able to show latest trends.

LVT planks are a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces, but it all depends on your preference and size of the space

We recommend you select an LVT flooring product that is commercial grade.

Back to Basics:

The core layer provides stability and durability, often made from a combination of PVC and fiberglass. followed by a transparent wear layer that protects the design from scratches, stains, and wear. Some LVT planks also feature an additional top coat for extra durability and ease of cleaning.

Commercial Vinyl Sheet Flooring

Vinyl sheet flooring is a modern twist on a classic household choice. From tile to stone to decorative wood, you’ll surely find your ideal vinyl flooring.

Todays, commercial vinyl sheet flooring are highly durable and consist of multiple layers that can withstand commercial settings with heavy traffic.
