Commercial Flooring for Indianapolis and Central Indiana Businesses

Choosing the Right Commercial Flooring

Commercial flooring decisions begin with identifying how the space will actually be (or is currently being) used.

Traffic volume is an obvious consideration, but far from only one. Some businesses also need to consider other factors, such as:

• spills
• moisture
• frequent cleaning
• furniture movement
• acoustics
• slip resistance
• maintenance requirements
• the type of wear the floor is likely to experience over time

A restaurant, for example, may place greater emphasis on cleanability, durability, and resistance to spills. An office could need to balance professional appearance with acoustics and employee traffic. Waiting areas might benefit from flooring that helps reduce noise and creates a comfortable atmosphere.

Budget is always a factor, of course; 40+ years of experience has shown us that the least expensive flooring initially is not always the least expensive over its useful life. Maintenance requirements, repairability, durability, and replacement cycles–cost of ownership expenses, if you will–should all be part of the conversation.

Commercial Flooring Options From ProSand Flooring

Commercial Carpet

Commercial carpet can work well in offices, waiting rooms, corporate spaces, hospitality environments, and other locations where comfort and acoustics are primary needs.

Pro tip: Traffic level should influence the carpet construction selected.

Dense, low-pile and loop-pile carpet can perform well in higher-traffic environments, while other constructions may be better suited to lighter-use areas.

Carpet tile also offers an important advantage for businesses. If one area becomes permanently stained or damaged, individual tiles can be removed and replaced rather than requiring replacement of an entire carpet. ProSand Flooring has plenty of experience with modular commercial carpet products designed specifically around this kind of practicality.

Commercial Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring can give offices, restaurants, museums, entertainment venues, retail environments, and other commercial spaces a distinctive, high-end appearance while simultaneously offering excellent long-term potential.

One of hardwood’s major advantages is that wear doesn’t necessarily mean replacement. Existing hardwood can often be repaired, sanded, stained, and refinished to restore its appearance and extend its useful life.

ProSand Flooring specializes in hardwood restoration and offers a 99% dust-free sanding process using equipment fitted with industrial-grade filtration and dust recovery systems. For commercial environments, this is especially attractive as reducing airborne dust and cleanup can make refinishing far less disruptive than traditional sanding methods.

Commercial Tile

Tile offers a combination of durability, design flexibility, and relatively straightforward maintenance, making it useful for entrances, walkways, commercial kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and many other applications.

ProSand Flooring’s commercial tile team can help evaluate products based on light-to-heavy commercial traffic requirements, design goals, budget, and appropriate DCOF (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction) threshold requirements for interior spaces. Options include porcelain, natural stone, manufactured stone, recycled materials, and non-skid textures.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Modern luxury vinyl is notably different from the thin sheet vinyl you may remember. Today, luxury vinyl is a resilient, waterproof flooring option available in plank and tile formats. It can even replicate the appearance of natural materials.

Luxury vinyl is originally developed with layered construction and protective wear layer for commercial applications where flooring must handle substantial traffic and hold up in demanding environments.

Commercial Flooring Installation With Minimal Business Disruption

For an active business, choosing the flooring is just one part of the project; installation also has to conform to the realities of daily operations.

ProSand Flooring knows that unnecessary downtime can affect customers, employees, and revenue. Our commercial flooring teams can schedule work around your business needs, including day or night installation, with the goal of providing little-to-no downtime.

We can also work with an existing architectural or design plan–or even help develop a flooring solution based on the needs of your facility. Our commercial installation team is comprised of licensed and bonded craftsmen who work efficiently, while keeping installation quality at the fore.

Proper preparation is also essential. The condition of the existing floor or subfloor can affect how a new flooring system performs. For that reason, conditions should be considered as part of project planning rather than after installation has begun.

Maintenance and Long-Term Flooring Performance

Commercial flooring is an investment, and its performance should be considered over years rather than simply on how it performs brand new on installation day.

Different materials have different maintenance requirements. Hardwood can often be refinished as wear develops. Individual carpet tiles can be replaced when localized damage occurs. Tile and luxury vinyl may offer advantages in spaces where frequent cleaning is expected.

ProSand Flooring also offers maintenance agreements designed to help commercial flooring continue to look its best over time. For facilities with their own maintenance teams, we can even help establish a maintenance plan for custodial staff.

Considering maintenance before choosing a floor can help reduce unexpected costs and keep customer-facing areas looking professional for longer.

Commercial Flooring Experience in Indianapolis

ProSand Flooring has worked with a wide variety of commercial environments, including restaurants, museums, theaters, pubs, shopping centers, gyms, corporate facilities, offices, and other public-facing spaces.

Our commercial experience also includes specialized hardwood work, such as our work with Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler University.

Range of experience is important in flooring, because no two commercial facilities place exactly the same demands on their floors. A flooring solution should be reflective of the:

• traffic
• maintenance requirements
• Appearance
• operational needs
• long-term goals of the individual organization
