Choosing Commercial Flooring
The right commercial flooring depends on how the space will be used.
Foot traffic, cleaning requirements, acoustics, design and expected
wear can all influence the final product choice.
An office may need a different flooring system from a retail store,
classroom, healthcare space or hospitality environment. The technical
specifications of the exact product should always be checked before
making a final selection.
Commercial Carpet Tiles
Carpet tiles are a practical modular flooring option for offices,
meeting rooms, corridors, education spaces and many other commercial
interiors.
Because the floor is made from individual tiles, damaged or heavily
worn sections can often be replaced locally rather than replacing the
entire floor. Different colours and laying directions can also be used
to create zones and feature areas.

Commercial Carpet Planks
Carpet planks offer many of the practical advantages of modular carpet,
but they use a longer rectangular format rather than a traditional
square tile.
Carpet planks can create a more directional and contemporary floor
design, while different laying patterns can change the character of
the finished space.

Commercial Vinyl Plank
Commercial vinyl plank, often called LVP, uses individual resilient
flooring planks to create a timber-look surface.
Unlike hybrid flooring, vinyl plank uses a flexible construction.
Dex Flooring installs suitable vinyl plank using a
glue-down installation system over a properly prepared
subfloor.
Floor preparation plays an important role in the finished result
because glue-down vinyl follows the substrate closely.

Commercial Vinyl Sheet
Vinyl sheet flooring comes in wide rolls rather than individual planks
or tiles. It can create a more continuous flooring surface with fewer
joins across the finished area.
Commercial sheet vinyl is available in different colours, patterns,
constructions and performance specifications. The selected range should
match the expected traffic and maintenance requirements of the project.

Safety Flooring
Safety flooring is designed for commercial environments where tested
slip performance, durability and practical maintenance are important.
Suitable products can be used in healthcare, aged care, education,
hospitality, commercial kitchens and other high-use environments.
However, slip ratings and technical specifications vary between ranges.
Safety flooring should therefore be selected according to the
requirements of the individual project rather than appearance alone.
Which Commercial Flooring Is Right for My Project?
There is no single flooring type that suits every commercial space.
The right product depends on how the area is used and the level of
performance required.
- Offices — carpet tiles, carpet planks and suitable commercial vinyl.
- Retail — commercial vinyl, modular carpet and other durable options.
- Education — carpet tiles, vinyl sheet and selected safety flooring.
- Hospitality — commercial vinyl, safety flooring and selected carpet products.
- Healthcare & aged care — suitable resilient and safety flooring subject to project requirements.
Product grading and technical data should always be checked for the
exact application.
Commercial Flooring Traffic Ratings
Commercial products are designed for different levels of use. A floor
intended for a small private office may have different requirements
from flooring used in a busy corridor, retail environment or public
facility.
Fibre type, wear layer, backing, construction and commercial grading
can all influence performance. The specification of the individual
range matters more than the product category alone.
Subfloor Preparation Matters
Commercial flooring depends on a suitable substrate. Before installation,
the existing floor should be assessed for flatness, moisture, surface
condition and other product-specific requirements.
Depending on the site, preparation may include grinding, patching,
levelling or priming. Glue-down vinyl products in particular require
a smooth surface because imperfections can affect the finished floor.
Commercial Flooring Over Concrete
Many commercial flooring products can be installed over concrete,
provided the slab is suitable for the selected flooring system.
Concrete should not automatically be considered ready for installation.
Moisture, flatness and surface condition may need to be assessed first.
Carpet Tiles vs Vinyl Flooring
Carpet tiles provide a softer modular surface and can help support
acoustic comfort in offices and workspaces.
Vinyl flooring creates a resilient, easy-care surface that may suit
projects with different cleaning and maintenance requirements.
The correct choice depends on the space, traffic, design objectives
and maintenance plan.
Vinyl Plank vs Vinyl Sheet
Vinyl plank uses individual pieces and usually creates a more defined
timber-board appearance.
Vinyl sheet comes in wide rolls and can create fewer joins across the
finished floor.
Both systems require suitable subfloor preparation, although installation
and finishing requirements differ between products.
Commercial Flooring Design
Performance matters, but commercial flooring can also contribute to the
overall interior design.
Modular carpet can combine colours and laying patterns to define pathways
or work zones. Vinyl plank can introduce a timber-style finish, while
sheet vinyl can create a cleaner and more continuous appearance.
Repairs & Future Maintenance
Maintenance requirements vary between flooring systems. Modular carpet
offers the advantage of replacing individual tiles or planks where
required.
Vinyl flooring uses a different maintenance approach, so it is worth
considering cleaning, future repairs and access requirements before
selecting the floor.
Commercial Flooring Installation
A professional commercial installation requires accurate measurement,
floor preparation, product-specific installation and careful finishing.
Depending on the project, this may include adhesive systems, floor
levelling, transitions, joins, edges and other installation details.
The complete scope should therefore be reviewed before installation begins.
Supply-Only or Supply & Installation
Dex Flooring can assist with both supply-only and professionally installed
commercial flooring projects, depending on the product and project requirements.
If you already have an installer, our team can help you compare suitable
commercial flooring products. Alternatively, speak with us about a complete
supply and installation project.

COMMERCIAL FLOORING FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about selecting, preparing and installing commercial flooring in Melbourne.
What flooring is suitable for commercial spaces?
The right flooring depends on traffic, maintenance, design and the requirements of the space. Carpet tiles, carpet planks, vinyl plank, vinyl sheet and safety flooring can all suit different commercial applications.
Are carpet tiles suitable for offices?
Yes. Commercial carpet tiles can work well in offices, meeting rooms, corridors and other workspaces. In addition, their modular format allows individual sections to be replaced where required.
What is the difference between carpet tiles and carpet planks?
Carpet tiles commonly use a square format. Carpet planks, by contrast, use a longer rectangular shape and can create a more directional floor design.
What is commercial vinyl plank flooring?
Commercial vinyl plank uses individual resilient planks to create a timber-style floor. Dex Flooring installs suitable vinyl plank using a glue-down system over a properly prepared subfloor.
What is commercial vinyl sheet flooring?
Vinyl sheet comes in wide rolls rather than individual planks or tiles. As a result, it can create fewer joins across the finished floor.
What is safety flooring?
Safety flooring is designed for commercial areas where slip performance, durability and practical maintenance are important. However, tested ratings vary between products, so the exact technical specification should match the project.
Which commercial flooring is best for high-traffic areas?
Choose a product with specifications and commercial grading suited to the expected traffic. Fibre, wear layer, backing and construction can all influence performance, so the individual product data should be reviewed before selection.
Does commercial flooring need subfloor preparation?
It may. The substrate should be checked for flatness, moisture and general surface condition before installation. Consequently, some projects may require grinding, patching, levelling or priming.
Can commercial flooring be installed over concrete?
Many commercial flooring products can be installed over a suitable concrete slab. However, the concrete may need preparation before the selected flooring system can be installed.
Does commercial vinyl plank need underlay?
Glue-down vinyl plank does not use traditional floating-floor underlay. Instead, the planks are bonded directly to a suitable prepared substrate using the appropriate adhesive system.
Can individual carpet tiles be replaced?
Yes. One advantage of modular carpet tiles is that individual sections can often be replaced if they become damaged or heavily worn. Keeping spare material from the original installation can make future repairs easier.
Does Dex Flooring install commercial flooring?
Yes. Dex Flooring supplies and professionally installs suitable commercial flooring across Melbourne, including carpet tiles, carpet planks and commercial vinyl products.
Can I buy commercial flooring supply-only?
Supply-only options are available for suitable commercial products. If you already have an installer, speak with our team about the product and quantity required.
