From Small Offices to Amphitheaters: Different Approaches to Facility Flooring

Newly installed flooring in an empty building.

Commercial flooring is a broad field. Often, the size and scope of the installation job can vary wildly depending on the project. Here is how these elements of a flooring project can impact how your business’s flooring is installed. 

Different Approaches to Facility Flooring

Smaller Commercial Jobs

The size of a commercial flooring installation project impacts how it’s handled. Flooring installers are experienced at analyzing your needs and determining how much time and manpower they need to commit. When you get an initial consultation and estimate for your project, expect them to do their best to stick to that timeline. 

While smaller commercial flooring projects can still have unexpected setbacks, the number of things that can go wrong when installing flooring for 1,000 square feet is going to be significantly less than a project that’s 10,000 square feet. The materials also impact how long an installation can take. For instance, commercial vinyl flooring is much easier to install than tile flooring, and that project will cost less and take less time, even when accounting for size. When you need something done quickly and efficiently, working with a flooring company that can properly scale the job is crucial. Experienced floor installers will know the resources and people they need to get something done for you on a reasonable timeline, whether you’re looking for carpeting in your midsize office or tiling for a retail space.

Large Commercial Flooring Installations

Installing facility flooring for larger commercial businesses is a much different process compared to smaller commercial or residential jobs. When flooring companies work on a large scale, they generally need more staff to complete a job. Additionally, large-scale floor installation projects tend to take longer than smaller projects. Factors like timeline and the level of disruption you can expect for your commercial floor installation depend on the size of the job, the number of flooring materials used, and other factors like the number of people in the area. 

For example, when you need carpeting for a large office or hotel, the installation process may move quicker because room sizes are universal and you don’t need other types of flooring installed. When the complexity of an installation and the scale of it are both large, you can expect a longer turnaround for a project, no matter how many people are working on the job. There are some obvious things that differentiate a large job from a small one, but some of the differences in process are less obvious. 

For large-scale projects like amphitheaters or sporting arenas, the flooring installation process depends on the supply chain more than smaller jobs. The amount of material needed can change what options you may have and can slow the job process if the type of flooring you need isn’t readily available.
