Flooring Ideas

Big public areas have several things in common as far as flooring is concerned. They can be very difficult to maintain, expensive, and in many cases, just plain drab. New technology and design concepts are putting an end to these problems. It's now possible to achieve a good look, a reliable hard wearing surface, and keep costs under control. A combination of commercial carpet tiles, top quality floor coverings and custom design is drastically improving the standard of public space concepts.

Flooring design for public areas- New concepts, and plenty of them

Public areas are tough design issues. They get enormous amounts of usage, and the requirements for durability and cost effective maintenance and repair are major considerations. Areas like libraries, airports, auditoriums, public buildings, and other very high volume traffic zones have been traditional administrative problems.

The new concepts are based on a fresh and inspirational approach to design and materials. Even areas in constant heavy daily use can be effectively covered with extremely durable carpets, designed to be easy to maintain, and cost efficient.

Maintenance solutions

The maintenance problem in public spaces has several facets:

Appearance
Cost
Product life
Materials quality
Accessibility and ease of maintenance and repair
You may have seen recently some ultra-modern, hardwearing carpet in public areas that looked noticeably different. This is actually a new class of carpet design, created on the "built to last" basis. These new designs include seamless carpet tile squares with built-in backing, providing both cushioning and preserving fabric integrity. This integrated structure also improves safety and avoids seam stress fractures which can literally destroy carpets.

Modular carpet tiles, retail carpet and commercial carpet squares make maintenance easy and quick. The area can be restored almost instantly, at minimum cost and disruption to space usage. The design concepts are based on built- in efficiencies and realistic approaches to the needs of busy areas.

Cost solutions

The economics of big public areas can be managed very well, in terms of product life durability. Inferior quality flooring is far more expensive over time, and more of a risk in terms of safety and maintenance. Top quality materials prevent a lot of wear and tear on budgets and the peace of mind on those responsible for these areas. The best industrial carpet tiles are extremely durable, and may never need any work done on them at all.

The best look, and it's your call

Perhaps the most impressive part of the flooring concepts for public areas is the ability to custom design these huge spaces. In the past, this would have been almost impossible except at great expense. Now, it's a standard design feature.

However big and busy the public area, you can do your own custom design for it, including custom colourisation. You can check out design options, patterns, and see some current working examples of custom design commercial flooring as it will look.
