Having a business that is open to the public means you need to be aware of all the details of the décor, including the flooring. Retail space is one of the more popular options for a concrete floor because of its durability and practicality. However, as the owner, you should not overlook the importance of the overall décor.
How to choose the right commercial flooring in Ottawa.
Do the research.
Before you make a final decision, do the research necessary to make the best decision. This can include the types of coatings and sealants like epoxy, metallic epoxy, terrazzo, or other options and the design of the flooring itself.
It’s all about style.
This can include incorporating your store logo or markings along the floor to indicate pathways to various departments or escalators. Using an epoxy solution poured over the design will keep the floor work intact for a long time.
By looking at various choices and seeing how they fit your company’s image, you can go traditional or wild.
Your choice in floor design sends a message to the clientele. It should coordinate or blend with the walls and any pieces like tables, counters, or seating. Without cohesiveness, it will detract from your product or service and psychologically discourage shoppers.
Don’t forget functionality.
Despite everything, it should be functional. That means if it needs to be mopped often from spills, like in a deli or some type of eatery, choose accordingly. The same thing about slip resistance. With so many products to choose from, you won’t need to sacrifice practicality for aesthetics.
Mesure everything.
Before you start soliciting bids, dig out your high school geometry and calculate the square footage. Photographs will help when talking with contractors. If the space has nooks or crannies that need to be dealt with, including storage areas or closets, this is helpful in the final calculations.
If you will be treating different sections with different colours or treatments, you should account for this in your calculations.
