Flooring for hotels is of vital importance, as it can transform the appearance of the area, improving its look and generating a feeling of comfort. It is important to know what type of flooring should be used in each area of the hotel.
From the lobby or reception to the pool, restaurant, or even gym, each of these areas must implement a different type of flooring, whether in aesthetics or functionality, to provide a safer and more comfortable environment for its visitors.
Why is it important to choose the right flooring for each area of the hotel?
A hotel will always be in constant movement, staff and visitors will be walking in different areas, transporting themselves and their luggage, so it is important that the flooring chosen is suitable for each area, as well as being highly resistant.
This way, it can withstand the wear and tear generated and can last for many years, with the help of continuous and adequate maintenance.
Types of floors for hotels
We can classify or divide the types of floors for hotels, according to the area or zone where they will be used.
We can start with the following:
Hallways and reception
Many hotels use carpets to accompany the floors installed in these areas, as they give a more pleasing appearance and are more comfortable. However, this makes the area much more delicate as the carpet will wear out faster due to high traffic and will in turn require constant cleaning.
Therefore, the best recommended option is LVT or luxury vinyl flooring . These floors are much more comfortable, provide better thermal comfort and, most importantly, are resistant to abrasion, giving them great durability over time, because they are very comfortable, thermal and abrasion resistant.
They are also much easier and quicker to maintain than carpets, and you don't have to worry too much about any spills that might occur. And best of all, you can find them in a wide variety of designs and formats.
On the other hand, an excellent option due to its resistance and a more affordable price is technological stone. Long-lasting, resistant to knocks and scratches, and with its incredible variety of designs , it is another excellent flooring option for the hallways or reception of a hotel.
Rooms
They are the most important spaces in each hotel, since guests will rest, sleep and spend part of their time in these spaces, so their appearance and comfort define their experience.
The best option to use is vinyl or LVT floors , which are more resistant to moisture, abrasion wear and even provide fire resistance. They also provide comfort to the touch and a warmer environment, thanks to their wide variety of designs and colors.
And you can even decorate the rooms with different carpets, to provide greater comfort, warmth and a more striking visual appearance.
Bars and restaurants
In these spaces, it is vitally important to have floors that are easy to clean, resistant to wear and moisture, since these are areas where liquid and even food spills can occur constantly. All this without ignoring the style, design, convenience and comfort of each visitor.
Technological stone is ideal for these spaces, beautifying them without neglecting the resistance and durability of the floors to wear and tear over time and use.
Gyms
In gyms, it is important to correctly divide each area according to the use or utility that will be provided. Since those places where guests are going to do weight exercises, whether on machines, dumbbells or bars, the floors must be made of elements that are highly resistant to impacts and also non-slip, to reduce the possibility of accidents.
Likewise, in areas where there are machines such as bicycles, treadmills or where there are no heavy loads, the floor can be made of wear-resistant elements such as LVT or technological stone.
- Rubber Floors : These are highly impact-resistant elements, ideal for areas intended for weight exercises, which have a high risk of aggressive impacts due to the high weights that can be handled in different exercises. They also provide safety by preventing slipping.
Swimming pools or swimming pools
In these areas, more factors must be taken into account, since not only can they be affected by wear and tear or humidity, temperatures are another factor to take into account. Extreme sun and constant contact with water can quickly deteriorate the floor in swimming pools.
For this reason, the installation of natural stone , marble or granite is recommended, since these elements are able to withstand the previously mentioned conditions with greater strength.
Even floors made from solid wood planks, properly treated to resist moisture and last a long time, can be used. Although this option has a higher maintenance cost and requires more continuous and special maintenance due to the nature of its material.
Terraces
As with swimming pools, terraces are also exposed to humidity, sun and high temperatures, which is why highly resistant floors or flooring must be used. For this reason, it is recommended to use elements such as natural stones, granite or other materials that are highly resistant to sun and humidity in these environments.
