One of the most important parts of your building is going to be your floor.  The floor will hold all of the weight of your building, take the most punishment and will be the main area that you clean.  For this reason, you really want to know some key components before deciding on the flooring you choose.  Some of the most popular options are hardwood, tile, carpet or even chicago epoxy flooring.

Traffic

How much traffic will there be on your floor?  Will you have people coming in and out all day long or will it be rarely used?  When deciding on the type of flooring you want, traffic will be the first component that you consider.  The more traffic, the more wear and tear on your flooring. 

Look

From there the look of your flooring is important.  If you are going to be in a warehouse where you are storing large pallets of product, moving large machines and spilling liquids, then you don’t want to have an expensive flooring.  In an office situation or a showroom environment then this may be where you will put the money into the look and feel of your rooms.

Maintenance

Once you have made a decision you will need to maintain your flooring.  This means that you will need to mop wooden floors, concrete will need to be buffed and carpet vacuumed.  The amount of maintenance that you will have to do will also be determined by the flooring type, the traffic and other conditions. 

Installation

Finally, you will need to determine how much time it will take to install the flooring.  In some cases, with concrete it will be a simple process.  With tile and wood flooring it will take longer and require additional tools.  Carpet will be the simplest to install since all you need to do is roll it out and secure it.  No matter what type of flooring you choose here are some of the main points that you need to consider.
