Hardwood
With its ability to be refinished and long lifespan, hardwood is a top competitor. Décor matching is easy with the numerous types and colors of wood at your disposal, and the material is also solid and low-maintenance. It’s aesthetically pleasing, making it an ideal option for offices, restaurants, and hospitality.

Carpeting
Creates the illusion of comfort and adds warmth. It’s also a great noise reducer, which is why it’s ideal in high-traffic areas like offices and lobbies. Carpeting can also be a less expensive flooring option. With their variety of colors, patterns, and textures, they can be ideal for adding subtle décor to a space.
Vinyl
A popular for high-use spaces. Vinyl is waterproof, durable, and easy to clean making it the ideal choice for bathrooms and restaurants. The cost of vinyl is also significantly less than other flooring options with similar qualities.

Porcelain and Ceramic Tile
Made of dense material with few air pockets making it harder and thicker than most tiles, it also is moisture resistant and lasts for years. Ceramic tile has similar qualities and is less expensive. Both are great options for hotels, restaurants, lobbies, and museums.
Laminate
Inexpensive, durable, and easy to clean flooring options that function well in highly trafficked areas. However, laminate does not fair well against moisture.
