Three Features to Look for in Retail Flooring

10th December

From Epoxy flooring systems to luxury vinyl tiles (LVTs), there are many differing flooring products used within the retail industry. Retail businesses need to take into consideration their customers’ needs and wants, as well as what is best for the business and the location it is in. Alongside this, retailers also need to consider if their flooring is… 

Durable 

It goes without saying that as a retail store, you’re likely to see high amounts of daily traffic, so your flooring needs to handle this. You want to ensure that your flooring is tough enough to withstand this heavy footfall, as well as not become damaged quickly as this could then become a danger hazard for your customers and staff. Luxury vinyl tiles have taken the flooring industry by storm as they have proven to be strong enough for extreme high-traffic areas, making them the ideal fit for retail spaces.

Easy to Clean / Maintain

Accidents happen and it’s very likely that the flooring of your retail space will experience some spillages day to day. Whether it be a customer dropping a drink, a product containing liquid leaking or breaking on the shop floor or even just water traipsed in from outside, retail flooring needs to be easy to clean and maintain. That’s why you rarely find carpet in a shop, as any of the above could stain a carpet and potentially ruin the aesthetic. Also, most shops are open every day and so finding the time to clean the whole floor can be quite a task. With vinyl or wood flooring, it’s easy to clean the surface. Specialist machines can be used daily in large stores to clean flooring, or if you have a smaller space you simply need a damp cloth and a brush to remove any surface dirt of dust.

Smart Appearance

Retail flooring should always be more reserved, in order for the products available to stand out and capture the eye of the potential customer. You don’t want bright, harsh colours that may potentially be an eye-sore. Wooden flooring can be a great choice for this, as it can truly transform the look of a retail space with its natural finish, as well as look more luxurious. Rich wooden flooring is commonly used in high-end retail stores for this reason.

Mayfield Floors have demonstrated throughout this challenging, prestigious project that having the ability to respond quickly with the right team and knowledge of the Porsche brand has been paramount to its success. We are looking forward to working on the next project."

John White - Director, Porsche Stockport

"This is the first project in which we have used Mayfield Floors as our flooring contractors, on what turned out to be a fast paced and often tricky site due to the number of trades all working simultaneously. Mayfield Floor's operatives worked out of hours when required to help hit our deadlines and the quality of the finished product is of a very high standard with particular attention paid to detail. This is down to the individual work of the floor layer Billy who was a joy to have on-site, the experience and pride in their work of the tilers and the excellent relationship we have with Daniel the contracts Manager at Mayfield Floors who from day one has been totally professional and committed throughout. We look forward to working with Mayfield again on our future projects."
