The Best Flooring for High-Traffic Areas

Jan 15th 2025

High-traffic spaces like hallways, living rooms and office floors see a lot of action. Shoes, spills, muddy paws; you name it, the world will throw it at your floor. If you want flooring that doesn't wear out in a year, you need something durable, easy to clean and still good-looking. 

Luxury Vinyl Tiles

Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) is a popular choice for high-traffic areas, if you're short on time. It's incredibly durable and doesn't flinch at heavy foot traffic or scuffed shoes. It's also water-resistant making it ideal for your home that weather, kids, pets and humidity. 

The best part? It looks good. LVT is an upgrade to the ordinary sheet vinyl as it is harder wearing and comes in tiles or planks instead of a sheet. It's easy to clean by just sweeping or light mopping. 

LVT is a great option for commercial spaces as well, giving offices more of a sleek style. 

Carpet Tiles

Carpet tiles are extremely versatile, making them a popular choice for offices. As they are squares they can be installed and removed easily, it also allows for unique styles by mismatching tiles to make the office more vibrant. Having carpet tiles in offices also reduces noise as well as having more comfort than hard flooring. 

Ceramic Tiles

If softness matters less to you than durability, ceramic tiles can handle just about anything. From muddy boots to kitchen spills. They're super easy to keep clean. A quick mop or wipe down is all you need. They're especially great for messy kitchens, entryways and bathrooms.

Ceramic tiles come in a variety of colours and textures making any space unique and stylish.

Commercial Grade Carpet

If you're after something that's both stylish and tough, you can't go wrong with commercial carpets. These carpets are built for heavy use and hold up beautifully in busy spaces like offices. 

This carpet can add warmth and softness underfoot, helping commercial soaces feel a lot more relaxed than they would with hard flooring.
