Luxury Flooring on Main Street

Resilient flooring owns the floor space in every Main Street business category! Light commercial businesses require flooring that is easy to clean and maintain, comfortable underfoot, and wears like iron. This is why you see resilient flooring in its many forms in commercial installations.

For example, a daycare center needs a forgiving surface like sheet vinyl, where it is as easy to clean up spilled milk as it is to disinfect to ward off the sniffles. A cork floor in a law office is a subtle choice that offers sound-absorbing audio privacy and environmental sustainability.

While the term “resilient” covers a whole category, the floors within that category are diverse and well respected. Resilient is the flooring of choice for the following sectors:

Retail ● Medical ● Education ● Hospitality ● Light industry Libraries, museums ● Restaurants and foodservice Sporting and athletic venues

Clearly, the qualities of resilient flooring answer the needs of commercial clients. Resilient manufacturers have been listening and have developed applications with the aesthetics and functions demanded by the commercial consumer. For example, in the micro-niche of hospital operating suites, there are resilient products that are anti-microbial without the use of chemicals.

No longer does using resilient mean looking like every other resilient floor. For example, the amazing optics of Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) meld the look of fine hardwood, stone, and tile floors, with the usability and maintenance benefits of vinyl.

Design quality resilient flooring is available from your local flooring showroom. Even though its look is custom and fabulous, resilient is affordable and straightforward to install. ■
