Yes—LVT offers durability, easy maintenance, and design flexibility to match branding, making it a top choice for many retail environments. We even have lvt flooring down in our showroom.

Yes. Options include low-VOC vinyl with recycled content, carpet tiles with recycled fiber backing, or polished concrete reusing existing slabs. Bamboo or cork (in light-traffic areas) can also be considered. We can highlight certified products (e.g., Green Label Plus for carpet) and calculate potential LEED credits. Discuss your sustainability goals with us, and we’ll recommend suitable materials.

Yes. For many commercial projects, we offer flexible installation windows—early mornings, evenings, or weekends—to avoid interrupting daily operations. During planning, we coordinate precise timelines, ensure material delivery aligns with off-hours work, and maintain clear communication so your business runs smoothly.

Yes—often desirable to delineate zones (e.g., tile in entryways, carpet tile in offices). Transitions require proper thresholds or reducer strips that match aesthetics and height differences. In planning, we map flow patterns and specify transition profiles. Because we supply both materials and installation, we ensure seamless coordination: coordinating product selections (similar textures/colors) and installing transitions that meet safety and design requirements.

Key practices include:

• Regular maintenance: Follow manufacturer-recommended cleaning schedules (e.g., strip/reseal VCT, deep clean carpet tiles).
• Preventive measures: Entrance mats to trap dirt; furniture glides to prevent scratches; prompt spill cleanup.
• Periodic inspections: Identify wear spots or damaged tiles/planks early and replace them.
• Professional upkeep: Schedule quarterly or semi-annual services (e.g., resealing, polishing) through All About Flooring to maintain warranty and appearance.

Each sector has unique needs:

• Healthcare: Hygienic, seamless surfaces (e.g., epoxy or LVT with welded seams), antimicrobial options, easy cleaning protocols.
• Hospitality: Durable yet aesthetic floors (e.g., LVT in lobby, carpet tile in guest rooms for acoustic comfort), compliance with fire/safety codes.
• Industrial/Manufacturing: Heavy-duty surfaces (e.g., polished concrete, epoxy coatings) with chemical resistance and load-bearing capacity.
  We assess operational requirements, compliance standards, and design goals, then supply and install the appropriate solutions.

Consider noise levels, comfort, and maintenance: carpet tile improves acoustics and comfort but requires periodic deep cleaning; LVT is easier to clean and handles occasional spills better.

Frequency depends on flooring type and traffic levels. High-traffic areas (e.g., retail aisles, office corridors) benefit from monthly or quarterly deep cleaning (e.g., stripping/resealing VCT, hot-water extraction for carpet tile). Moderate-traffic zones might need semi-annual service. At All About Flooring, we assess usage patterns and recommend a tailored maintenance schedule to extend lifespan and appearance.

Polished concrete and epoxy/resinous coatings typically offer the longest lifespan under heavy traffic, followed by high-grade LVT and well-maintained VCT.

In offices or multi-story buildings, noise reduction improves comfort and productivity. Carpet tile with sound-absorbing backing, rubber flooring, or appropriate underlayment beneath hard surfaces (LVT or laminate) can mitigate impact noise. We evaluate your space layout and recommend products plus underlayments that meet your acoustic targets.

Most commercial-grade flooring products have manufacturer warranties covering wear layer or material defects for a set period (e.g., 10–20 years). Installation workmanship typically carries a separate guarantee (e.g., 1–5 years). Purchasing materials and installation together through All About Flooring ensures warranty validity—since we use approved installers and specified products—and simplifies any future claims.

Crucial. Uneven or moist subfloors lead to premature failures (e.g., tile cracks, vinyl peeling). Our process includes on-site moisture testing, level checks, and necessary remediation (self-leveling compounds, moisture barriers). Bundling material supply with installation ensures we use compatible underlayments or primers as recommended by the flooring manufacturer.

Look for floors meeting ADA or industry-specific slip-resistance ratings (e.g., ASTM D2047 for tile). For wet areas (restaurants, restrooms), choose textured LVT, slip-resistant tile, or rubber flooring with appropriate coefficient of friction. All About Flooring advises on the right products that balance safety requirements with design preferences, and we supply materials that meet relevant standards.
