Commercial Wood Flooring for Aesthetic Charm and Exceptional Durability
Nothing transforms the look, feel and sound of a room than authentic commercial wood flooring. Bring a little of Mother Nature indoors, and watch your commercial space come to life. We source and install high-quality commercial wood flooring with meticulous care, precision, and expertise.
Reasons To Choose Wood Flooring For Commercial Settings
A stunning hardwood floor in commercial premises delivers a range of impressive benefits.
Durability
Hardwood flooring is known for its durability and longevity. It can withstand heavy footfall and is resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for busy commercial spaces.
Aesthetic Appeal
Hardwood floors have a timeless and elegant appearance that adds a touch of sophistication to commercial environments. They come in various wood species and finishes, so there’s always an option for every type of building or environment.
Easy Maintenance
Hardwood floors are relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are usually sufficient to keep them looking great. And they’re also less prone to trapping dust and allergens compared to carpets.
Resale Value
Installing commercial wood flooring can increase the resale value of a commercial property. Potential buyers or tenants often find hardwood floors attractive and are willing to pay more for properties that have them.
Sustainability
Many commercial hardwood flooring options are sourced from sustainable forestry practices, making them an environmentally friendly choice. Look for certifications like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) to ensure responsible sourcing.
Versatility
Hardwood flooring complements various interior design styles, including traditional, contemporary and minimalist. We can refinish wood flooring to alter its appearance, giving you flexibility when it’s time to remodel.
Improved Air Quality
Unlike carpets, hardwood floors do not trap allergens, making the indoor air quality better. This is especially important in healthcare settings where air quality can affect the health and comfort of patients.
Long-Term Cost Savings
While the initial cost of hardwood flooring may be higher than alternatives such as LVT, its durability and long lifespan make it a cost-effective option when style is important.

Although we typically advise against using commercial hardwood flooring in wet, sterile, or industrial settings due to practical considerations, it can provide a stunning aesthetic in a broad array of other commercial environments. This choice of flooring adds elegance and warmth, making it ideal for spaces where appearance is a key factor.
Hotels
In hotels, resorts and hospitality venues, wood flooring adds a touch of luxury and elegance. It’s durable, relatively low-maintenance and can withstand high foot traffic.
Restaurants and Cafes
Wood flooring in restaurants delivers a warm and inviting ambience. It’s also easy to clean and maintain, which means it doesn’t put pressure on labour budgets.
Offices
In office spaces, commercial wood flooring contributes to a professional, high-end appearance. It withstands the demands of office furniture and heavy foot traffic while creating a great first impression among visitors.
Healthcare Facilities
Some commercial wood flooring options are designed to meet healthcare standards. They are easy to clean and maintain. And while we don’t recommend them for clinical environments, they look great in waiting rooms and offices.
Educational Institutions
Wood flooring can be used in schools and universities, providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment for students and staff.
Cultural and Entertainment Venues
Wood flooring is often used in theatres, museums and cultural centres due to its acoustic properties, natural aesthetics and timeless charm.

The Hardwood Flooring Fitting Process
We maintain the highest levels of craftsmanship and accuracy in even the most challenging situations. When installing commercial wood flooring, we employ a proven process, honed by a team with vast experience in the flooring industry. This approach ensures excellence and reliability in every installation, regardless of the project’s complexity.
1. Floor Preparation
We start each project by ensuring that the subfloor is clean, dry, and perfectly level. We then carefully address any irregularities, creating a smooth surface that forms the ideal foundation for the flooring installation.
2. Wood Flooring Acclimatisation
Allows for commercial wood flooring to acclimatise to the specific room’s humidity and temperature for at least 72 hours is paramount. This crucial step helps to prevent any expansion or contraction of the wood after installation, ensuring longevity and stability.
3. Layout Planning
Before commencing any work, we plan the layout of the flooring. This planning takes into account various factors, such as the dimensions of the room and the most visually appealing direction to lay the wood planks.
4. Underlay
Installing a suitable underlay is an essential part of the flooring process, providing essential cushioning and moisture resistance. This underlay is then securely fixed to the subfloor, with careful attention to guarantee a smooth and stable base for the flooring installation.
5. Starting Row
The installation process typically begins by laying the first row of wood flooring along the longest straight wall. We ensure we leave an expansion gap as recommended by the manufacturer, which is crucial for accommodating natural wood movement.
6. Installation
We proceed with fitting subsequent rows, meticulously ensuring that each plank is tightly connected to the previous one. Depending on the specific type of flooring, we employ the most suitable method of securing the planks, be it adhesive, nails, or a click-lock system.
7. Cutting
We measure and cuts planks precisely as required to fit neatly at the edges and around obstacles. Their priority is to ensure a snug and accurate fit against walls and corners.
8. Finishing
To conclude the fitting process, we add matching trim or moulding around the room’s perimeter. This serves the dual purpose of concealing expansion gaps and imparting a polished and professional appearance.
9. Final Checks
Following installation, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify and rectify any gaps, loose boards, or imperfections. We maintain an open dialogue with clients to promptly address concerns and resolve snagging issues, ensuring a flawless end result.
Our Scores For Commercial Wood Flooring
The aesthetic charm of wood flooring is impossible to fully recreate — even with LVT. But it’s not without its drawbacks. Requiring regular upkeep, wooden flooring is susceptible to scratches, gouges and water damage. But if you want to bring a little of Mother Nature indoors, it’s perfect.
Price: 1.5 Stars
Authentic hardwood flooring is never cheap. While the costs of installation are on the high side, however, the beauty you get in return is well worth the expense. If your priorities are affordability and durability, however, you can get a similar look with LVT and save money.
Look: 4.5 Stars
Nothing comes close to the smell, look and feel of authentic hardwood flooring. While LVT does a good job of tricking the eye at first glance, it lacks the depth of wooden flooring.
Durability: 2.5 Stars
With regular maintenance and a few sensible precautions, commercial wood flooring can last for decades. That said, it’s susceptible to scratches, gouges and moisture.
Rounded Average Wood Flooring Score: 3 Stars
