Floorway Vinyl – Taurus

Taurus Floorway: Commercial Vinyl Flooring for Rooms That Work for a Living

A living room floor is walked on. A shop floor, a studio or a treatment room is worked on, which is a different job entirely. Taurus from the Floorway range is a sensible candidate where you need commercial vinyl flooring behaviour, whether in a small business space or in a home office that is in use all day.

Where the Wear Really Concentrates

Traffic in a work space is rarely spread evenly. It gathers in narrow bands and small patches, and those are the places that show age first. Think of the metre of floor inside a shop door, the arc a salon chair swings through, the strip behind a reception desk, the path between a studio bench and a sink, or the square of floor under a desk chair that rolls the same forty centimetres a hundred times a day.

A clinic waiting room adds its own pattern. Chair legs drag, pushchairs and mobility aids turn on the spot, and wet boots arrive all winter long. Small shops bring stock trolleys and delivery crates. Anyone shopping for office flooring should look hardest at that one square metre beneath the chair, because a home office seems gentle until you count the hours a caster spends there. All of this asks for a hard wearing floor rather than something chosen purely on looks.

How the Construction Answers That

Vinyl plank is built up in layers. A printed decorative layer carries the visual, a dense core underneath gives the plank its body and resistance to flexing, and a protective wear surface sits on top taking the abrasion that footfall and grit deliver. Commercial vinyl flooring earns its reputation on that top layer, which is why a hard wearing floor of this type suits rooms where furniture moves and the door never stops.

The other quiet advantage in a business setting is cleaning. A hard surface can be swept and damp mopped at the end of the day without the drying time, shampooing or patchy recovery that carpet needs in a busy entrance.

Protecting It So It Keeps Earning

• Put a proper walk off mat at every external door and a runner in the worst traffic lane
• Use a chair mat, or soft twin wheel casters, under any chair that rolls in a fixed area
• Fit felt pads to desks, treatment couches, display units and stacking chairs, and check them regularly for embedded grit
• Lift equipment rather than dragging it, and use a board under anything heavily loaded on wheels
• Sweep or vacuum daily, because trodden grit is what dulls a surface, not footsteps alone

None of that is onerous, and in a Waterloo Region winter the door mat alone will spare your floor a remarkable amount of salt and sand.

Getting the Specification Right for Your Space

Light commercial use covers a wide range, and office flooring and retail flooring are not the same brief. The right choice for a quiet studio is not automatically right for a busy shop entrance. Please confirm the specification, the suitability of this product for your intended use and the installation method with the Petun Flooring team before ordering. Professional installation is strongly recommended in a work space, where downtime costs you money and a tidy first fit avoids a second one.

Photographs and screens only take you so far, so study the product image closely and ask to see a sample under the light of your own premises if you can. Taurus is available for collection in Kitchener and Cambridge, inventory is limited, and if you arrive with your floor plan and measurements we will help you plan the layout, quantities and traffic protection together.
