Commercial Flooring Is Not the Same as Domestic Flooring
A lot of business owners make the mistake of treating commercial carpet like a slightly tougher version of what they'd put in a living room. It isn't. The demands are completely different, and getting this wrong means replacing your flooring far sooner than you should have to.
Foot traffic volume, subfloor condition, fire safety ratings, acoustic performance — these are all things that matter in a commercial setting and rarely come up when someone's fitting carpet in a bedroom. Understanding the basics before you start shopping will save you money and headaches down the line.
