Retail environments designs are constantly changing, as it looks for the perfect way to entice customers. For both large and small businesses, many of the same practices apply when choosing the right kind of retail flooring option – ensuring successful flooring installations requires a stringent process.
These requirements fall into four categories:
Retail floors are always individual in their needs and the outcomes they need to fulfill. There are a range of solutions and we’re confident we can meet your needs.
When selecting retail flooring for commercial spaces, the most frequently heard statement is, “I need my store to look good.” By this, the retailer is often expressing that he or she wants the flooring to be part of the equation in creating a tone or image for the store. With the proper choice of colour and texture, and in conjunction with other interior finishes, shoppers can be immediately drawn into the experience of the store. The retail flooring option also needs to consider the amount of foot traffic moving through the area. The availability of a wide variety of floor coverings today provides owners with tremendous opportunities for designing transformative shopping experiences.
In addition to selecting aesthetically pleasing products, you must also ensure that they are durable and long-lasting for the intended space.
It is important that the product is analysed for durability in relation to the expected foot traffic of the store. This ensures the materials chosen will not prematurely deteriorate. To protect the design presentation, the product must have a sufficient wear layer.
Choosing a material that shows wear in heavy traffic areas or pivot points compromises the impression of the store. The quality of the shopping experience could very well affect the perceived value of the purchase.
For long-lasting impressions, it is always best to slightly overestimate the durability requirements.
Retail stores are typically busy areas and there is a great deal of dirt and debris transported in by high traffic flow.
Generally, shoppers judge a facility by its cleanliness, and one of the most common ways of doing that is by the appearance of the flooring. It is easier than ever before to create a healthy and hygienic interior using the right type of flooring and the right entrance mats.
In the retail flooring industry, one of the most challenging aspects is the actual installation process. Timing, or a lack of time, is the most frequent obstacle to installation.
Compared to new construction, retail floor replacement in existing, open facilities faces a number of challenges, including the challenge of replacing existing or damaged flooring. In most cases, this requires disassembling store fixtures, removing any old flooring, preparing the floor, installing the new flooring, and reassembling the fixtures.

It’s great to have a reliable partner for high-end flooring solutions.”
Yes – that’s possible. We can carry out an ‘Industrial Finish’ where we don’t expose the aggregate. There are several important requirements to ensure we can achieve this finish so it’s best to contact us for this advice prior to installing the actual concrete.
Yes. We can remove any/all existing flooring, including any underlying adhesive or floor toppings or tiles for an additional cost. It is important to note that the existing floor may impact the finish of the polished concrete but this is something that can only be established once the floors are up and the concrete slab is exposed.
We treat the existing concrete surface. We cannot control the colour or amount of stone in the concrete. The aggregate (stones) are added and mixed at the concrete suppliers batching plant. If certain aggregate exposure is required, it is best to consult us early in the design process so we can help choose the most suitable finish with the builder prior to the concrete being laid.
