The New Generation of Commercial Flooring

If you’ve got good commercial cleaning services, they’ll be the first people to tell you when your flooring is having problems. The usual problem is the condition of the flooring surface. This can be a big issue, because the floor is after all the largest occupied space on the premises. New commercial flawing is everything its predecessors could rarely be-durable, easy to maintain, and cost-effective over its product life.

The trouble with the old flooring is that it simply wasn’t designed the way the new generation of flooring has been. Science has moved on, and better materials and manufacturing techniques are essentially driving a shift to new flooring types. Old flooring, even with the benefits of modern cleaning technology which can practically bring old carpets back from the dead, is well and truly on the way out.

The New Generation Of Flooring-Carpet Tiles :
The most dramatically different form of the new flooring is a new range of carpet tiles. These tiles don’t require underlay. They have their own built in backing, which makes them much easier and cheaper to install than traditional broad looms. This is actually a totally new form of carpet design, and the new manufacturing techniques allow these carpet tiles to be customized on digital software, allowing a huge range of decor and interior design possibilities.

The idea is simple enough:

Digital pattern design allows mix and match with decor.

Multiple designs can be used.

Digital patterns are easier to make than traditional stitch patterns for custom designs.

This is literally made to order carpeting, on any scale, which is extremely cost effective both for manufacturers and their clients. Being able to see a layout on a computer screen for a particular design is also a major plus for decision makers, making it easy to say yes or no to a design.

Arguably more impressive is the level of cost-efficiency built in to the design of the carpet tiles. The tiles can be easily installed, repaired and replaced. Work doesn’t have to come to a standstill to allow carpets to be lifted. New tiles can be installed in minutes.

The new carpet tiles are also tough. They’re now considered best practice at places like airports and other public space areas where massive amounts of foot traffic usually destroys old style carpets. They’re long life products and can take the strain off the budget simply because they don’t need to be replaced as often as traditional commercial carpets.

Structurally, the carpet tiles are physically much better designs. Because they’re not stitched, but glued together, they’re basically seamless. This single design feature removes the problems created by stress on seams, which is one of the main causes of major deterioration of carpets.

Checking Out The New Carpet Design Options:
It’s easy to explore your options for new commercial flooring online. As you investigate the new carpet tiles, you’ll soon see how easy it is to create your own designs and to get specifications and costs. This is office decor, the cost-efficient way.

Digital Carpet Design- A New Level of Quality

If you’re a professional interior designer, you’ll be all too well aware of the huge spectrum of demand for carpet design and quality. "The customer is always right" can be an irritating statement if the customer’s not too sure what they want or what you mean by your design options. Whether you’re doing an office carpet design, restaurant interior design, you need to be able to express your design ideas clearly.



That's where digital carpet design comes in, and there’s already a lot of good things on the market to help you with your design needs. Top of the line industrial technology is changing the game, and this technology is coming onstream at the right time for the big new move to smart buildings and much better CAD design methods. This technology is a dream for designers who want to present their clients with top designs at a click on a screen.

The New Visualization Options:
Best practice in commercial carpets uses "visualization" technology. This software matches carpet designs to specific settings. It’s fast, efficient and can work with literally hundreds of different carpet designs. This is a vast improvement on the old “look at this carpet sample and take a wild guess what a whole office full of it would look like” approach.

This approach can also be extended to full decor designs. Good design software can easily match the best lifestyle magazine standards. Incorporating design elements into a structured breakdown of each element, combined with a capability to integrate the elements into full design specifications is the best practice approach.

The "Digital Carpets" Effect:
For carpeting, the digital approach is a game-changer. Customization to meet any kind of design requirements is quite possible, and the much more efficient manufacturing technology now in use makes production a lot easier. It’s also cheaper. Interestingly, the new carpet making technology is based on sustainable principles that have reduced real cost to manufacturers, meaning the cost of custom carpets has also been reduced. What used to be an extremely expensive process is now just a matter of creating digital designs.

The Design Options for Carpets:
Given that most digital designs can be easily translated into standard vector and grid formulas, the potential for top quality digital carpet designs is practically unlimited. In theory, you could do a carpet version of the Sistine Chapel artwork with no particularly difficult issues in terms of software. Carpets may not be everyone’s instant idea of a great creative medium, but they can be with the right technology creating them.

The other big issue confronting carpet design is quality. This major issue has been largely solved thanks to a new type of carpet tile which is both digitally customizable and a much better type of flooring, far superior to traditional carpets. The new tiles have their own backing, not underlay. They’re tough, extremely durable, and easy to replace or repair if required. They’re the new best practice approach to commercial flooring, and they’re rapidly taking over the market from the old style carpets.

If you’re looking for design options for carpets, check out the new generation of carpet technology. You’ll be very glad you did.
