When looking to install new flooring in your commercial property, choosing a suitable material is essential. Wood flooring is a popular choice for many businesses, and there are several different types of wood flooring that you can choose from. This blog post will discuss the various options available for commercial wood flooring and help you decide which type is right for your business! 

Types of Wood Flooring

There are three main types of wood flooring that you can choose from. It is important to note that the grade of wood flooring you choose should be based on your business’s amount of traffic. If you have a high traffic area, you will want to select a more robust, more durable wood finish.

– Select grade: This is the highest quality of wood flooring, and it can withstand a lot of wear and tear. It is also the most expensive option.

– Standard (Medium Feature) grade: This type of wood flooring is an excellent middle-ground option. It is not as expensive as a select grade, but it is durable enough to handle high footfall.

– Character Grade: This type of wood is high in natural and machine features. The wood will feature some knots and some colour variation, and sap. It is more affordable but does not have the same durability as select / Standard grade.

Things to consider when choosing wood flooring for your commercial property

– The amount of traffic your business receives: As we mentioned before, if you have a high traffic area, you will want to choose a more robust and more durable wood finish, such as a select grade or standard grade.

– The look you are going for: Are you looking for a rustic or more modern look? Depending on the style of your business, you will want to choose wood flooring that compliments the overall aesthetic. Character grade maintains the aesthetic of wood knots and sap, making it a stylish and exciting finish.

– Your budget: Commercial wood flooring can be expensive, but it is essential to weigh up the expense of the wood grade and the average lifetime of your flooring relative to your business’s footfall. It is worth investing in a higher grade wood over the long term to prolong the fees of replacing your wood flooring.
