Planning for Lobby Floors

Proper planning and maintenance for your lobby floor is critical. It needs to meet the needs of guests in any circumstance. They are running in from the rain holding luggage and an umbrella, finally arriving after an 8+ hour trip, meeting with a colleague for business networking in only minutes due to traffic, or other reasons. If family, friends, or work-related counterparts are waiting, they are seated in your lobby and looking toward the front entrance.

• Vestibules with walk off areas or mats are vital for managing the weather. Plus, it prolongs the life of the lobby floor and reduces operational costs with cleaning and maintenance.
• Registration areas and elevator lobbies receive heavy foot and rolling traffic. We suggest ceramic tile, stone, or polished concrete floor under those mats.
• Adjacent areas for dining and lounging should have smooth transitions to the lobby area.
