Safety is a paramount consideration in any retail space. The flooring should provide good traction to prevent slips and falls, especially in areas prone to spills or moisture. For example, cold storage and walk in freezers present finish and transition challenges. Materials with non-slip surfaces and those that can be treated with anti-slip coatings are ideal.
- Transitions and detail for drains, clean outs, etc.
- How will the area be cleaned (steam cleaning or methods that expose the flooring to severe temperature variations will require special consideration.)?
- The flooring should complement the overall brand image and contribute to creating an inviting atmosphere for customers.
