Hardwood floors may not be the cheapest option, but it is the most versatile and cost-effective in the long run. And, with advances in engineered floors, you can cut the cost of hardwood floors without compromising style and substance. On top of the aesthetic benefits of hardwood floors, there are also emotional benefits. Hardwood floors can help you create a better work environment for your employees. And a better work environment will boost morale and employee satisfaction.

Better indoor climate

For any commercial space, you want to make sure that you have great indoor air quality. Poor indoor climate is bad for morale, causing headaches, allergy outbreaks, and bad energy. Hardwood floors don’t hold on to dust and dirt like other surfaces. And, they’re easy to clean and maintain, helping to keep the indoor air quality high. Good indoor air quality will boost morale, prevent allergies, increase productivity, and create a better work environment.

Wood is a better surface for standing

Most forgiving type of flooring
Hardwood floors are the most forgiving surface for employees who have to stand all day long.

In commercial spaces, you have clients and employees who are constantly standing and walking across the floor. Hardwood floors are much more forgiving on the feet, knees, and back. When you choose a type of wood for your commercial floors, be sure to consider your employees. Choose wood that has more give and is kinder to the body. Hard surfaces that don’t have a lot of flexibility and can be tough on the body over time.
