When undertaking a commercial flooring project, accurately assessing the cost of labor is vital for budget, and various factors must be consisdered when evaluating these costs. In this blog post, we will explore the key factors that affect the cost of labor in commercial flooring projects.

Signs you need to replace your floors!

Any type of flooring undergoes plenty of stress and wear in its lifetime. If you notice damage, stains and scratches, mold/moisture damage, and unevenness, it might be time for a repair or new floors. It is always possible to do repairs, increase protection, and other measures to extend your floors life. There will always come a time when it is best to completely replace it, damaged floors can lead to a disaster or a hospital visit. If you know to look out for these signs, this can save you extra injuries and costs. These warning signs are things everyone should know, but it is especially important for commercial spaces.

Ceramic Tile

Ceramic Vs Porcelain Tile:

When choosing between these two tiles you want to figure which will be the best fit for your business. If you are looking for a more classic look, ceramic tile is the way to go and if you want more of a modern style, porcelain tile is your best choice. They both have their own benefits and drawbacks that you should take into consideration before making your final decision. 

Concrete

Benefits of using Joint Fillers in Commercial Flooring:

When choosing a floor for your business, theres a lot of different options when choosing a floor. Many businesses will go with resin-coated concrete, for that industrial look, which is very popular at the moment. Sometimes resinous coats arent always the right fit for an application and basic concrete is called for. If your flooring isnt naturally seamless, you must have a good joint filler to fill the cracks to prepare for the concrete stage. 

Design and trends

Some of the Top Trends in Commercial Flooring:

From medical offices and hotel suits to entertainment venues and modern corporate spaces, commercial flooring is no longer the boring, easily surface that was once always forgotten about. Products are improving in installation technology and designs on the daily, which means more commercial business owners have more options than ever before. This gives them the freedom to choose flooring that is not only functional for that space, but also reflects their unique brand and originality.

Prep

Moisture Mitigation Vs Moisture tolerant Adhesives:

It is a very common mistake people make when it comes to mositure protection, people often think that mositure mitigation systems and moisture tolerant adhesives have the same job. Repeatedly moisture related floor covering systems continue to fail at an unacceptable rate. Moisture issues are not just limited to slab on-ground construction but can also occur when floor coverings are installed over suspended concrete slabs as well. When moisture issues occur, it is serious and will affect all parties and can become very costly. Modern test methods were invented to prevent distress and failure by testing the concrete’s dryness before any floor coverings or coatings installed over the substrate. Concrete in-situ relative humidity testing has become the most popular method to use in the United States and is the most accurate when it comes to testing the concretes dryness. It also is the most overlooked part of construction; people don’t want to spend the money or just don’t have the knowledge and history of testing concrete slabs.
