Developing Trends in the Flooring Industry

Today, there are a dizzying array of flooring options, making the selection of the proper finish material more critical than ever.

FREMONT, CA: With a dizzying assortment of flooring options available today, it is more crucial than ever to choose proper finish materials intelligibly. Each passing season sees flooring fashions fluctuate in terms of appearance and demand. The following are some of the primary forces we are observing:

What's old is again new

One of the fastest-growing flooring trends is a return to classic, natural materials that become more lovely as their character subtly ages. The most popular materials are from the Greek, Egyptian, and Roman eras. These floor styles meet the current need for organic materials and patterns that promote well-being. They are prized for their traditional good looks, exceptional durability, and ease of care.

Cork, terrazzo, natural stone, and hardwood are among the growing in popularity, as are ceramic tiles, wool, and other natural fiber carpets. In recent years, porcelain tile and terrazzo have supplanted hardwood and stone flooring due to their greater visual variety, resistance to harm, and ease of care.

The revival of these old floors is motivated by their apparent enduring beauty. These floors are ideal for applications with constant, strong foot traffic and rolling loads, requiring minimal maintenance while providing long-term solutions.

Concerns about safety

Safety should be a top priority whether implemented indoors or outdoors, as slips and falls are the most common cause of lawsuits across all business buildings. Investing in high-quality flooring materials that meet or exceed the ASTM International criteria for walking safety will always yield a superior return on investment.
