Commercial flooring takes far more punishment than domestic flooring. Whether you run a busy office in Peterborough city centre, a retail unit in Queensgate, a care home, or an industrial facility, the flooring you choose needs to withstand heavy footfall, cleaning regimes, and comply with health and safety requirements.
Cambridgeshire Carpets has been supplying and fitting commercial flooring across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire for over 20 years. Here is our guide to choosing the right product for your business.
Carpet tiles remain the most popular choice for offices and light commercial spaces. Key benefits include ease of replacement — if a tile is damaged, you replace just that tile rather than an entire floor. They are also great for noise reduction, which matters in open-plan offices.
Look for a carpet tile with a low pile height and a bitumen or polyurethane backing for maximum durability. We recommend tiles rated for heavy commercial use (Class 33 or above under EN 1307 standards) for office environments in Peterborough.
For healthcare settings, hospitality, and retail, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and sheet vinyl are hard to beat. They are waterproof, easy to clean, and available in a huge range of realistic wood and stone effects that enhance your brand environment.
Sheet vinyl is especially popular in healthcare and food preparation areas because it can be heat-welded to create a completely seamless, hygienic surface with no joints for bacteria to harbour in.
Any commercial premises with wet or greasy floors — kitchens, bathrooms, corridors — should consider dedicated safety flooring. Safety floors are designed to a specific R-rating (slip resistance) and help businesses meet their duty of care obligations under health and safety legislation.
A proper entrance matting system is one of the most cost-effective investments a business can make. Matting traps dirt and moisture at the door, protecting your main flooring and dramatically reducing cleaning costs. We supply and fit recessed matwell systems and loose-lay commercial entrance mats throughout Peterborough.
