Your business premises make a crucial first impression on clients, customers, and employees alike. The flooring you choose plays a pivotal role in creating that impression whilst meeting the demanding practical requirements of a commercial environment. Whether you’re fitting out a new office in Maidstone, refurbishing a retail space in Canterbury, or upgrading an industrial facility in Ashford, selecting the right commercial flooring is essential for your business’s success.
At Kent Flooring, we’re proud to be Kent’s leading commercial flooring installers, delivering professional flooring solutions that combine durability, safety, aesthetic appeal, and value for money. With years of experience working with businesses across the county, we understand the unique challenges commercial environments present and have the expertise to deliver outstanding results on time and on budget.
Why Your Commercial Flooring Choice Matters
Unlike residential flooring, commercial floors must withstand significantly higher levels of foot traffic, resist heavy equipment, meet strict safety regulations, and maintain their appearance despite constant use. Poor flooring choices can lead to:
- Frequent repairs and replacements, disrupting business operations
- Safety hazards including slips, trips, and falls
- Unprofessional appearance that damages your brand image
- Higher maintenance costs and labour hours
- Potential regulatory compliance issues
Investing in professional commercial flooring from experienced commercial floor fitters ensures your premises remain safe, attractive, and functional for years to come.

Key Considerations for Commercial Flooring
Durability and Lifespan
Commercial flooring represents a significant investment, so selecting products with proven durability is essential. We only supply flooring from leading manufacturers with comprehensive warranties, ensuring your floor performs reliably for years.
Factors affecting durability include:
- Traffic levels: Heavy commercial use requires higher specification products
- Wear layer thickness: For LVT, thicker wear layers provide longer lifespan
- Subfloor quality: Professional preparation prevents premature failure
- Installation quality: Expert fitting by qualified commercial flooring installers ensures optimal performance
Safety and Compliance
Commercial premises must meet strict health and safety regulations. Our commercial flooring service ensures full compliance with:
- Slip resistance: Appropriate slip rating (R-rating or PTV value) for your environment
- Fire safety: Flooring meets required fire ratings for commercial use
- Disability Discrimination Act (DDA): Level, safe surfaces for wheelchair users
- Building Regulations: Appropriate acoustic and thermal properties
- Industry-specific requirements: Food safety, healthcare, education standards
We provide all necessary certification and documentation for building control and insurance purposes.
Maintenance and Lifecycle Costs
While initial cost is important, total lifecycle cost provides better value assessment. Consider:
- Cleaning requirements: How much time and labour does maintenance require?
- Cleaning products: Are expensive specialist products needed?
- Durability: How long before replacement is required?
- Repairs: Can damaged sections be easily replaced?
- Appearance retention: Does the floor look professional with age?
We provide honest guidance on lifecycle costs, ensuring you make informed decisions that deliver best value over time.
Aesthetics and Brand Image
Your commercial flooring contributes significantly to your business environment and brand perception. We work closely with you to understand your vision and recommend flooring that:
- Reflects your brand identity and values
- Creates the appropriate atmosphere for your business type
- Impresses clients and customers positively
- Motivates and comforts employees
- Coordinates with your existing or planned décor
