Warehouse Flooring

Options for Warehouse Flooring

Although many people think of a bare concrete surface serving as typical warehouse flooring, PVC floor tiles deliver a far more comfortable surface for employees who stand and work all day. Even extremely thin PVC provides anti-fatigue properties, resistance to oil and chemicals, and anti-slip capabilities.

Greatmats offers a wide range of flooring for warehouses that delivers multiple benefits. Our commercial and industrial floors carry long warranty periods, giving you an impressive value when you install them.

Types of Flooring for Warehouses

When seeking the best flooring format for your facility, select among warehouse floor mats, tiles, and rolls.

• Mats: Warehouse floor mats typically work best in areas where you need anti-fatigue flooring or safety flooring at a personal workstation. Warehouse mats are portable, too, which is beneficial in some situations.
  
• Tiles: Using interlocking tiles for warehouses has multiple benefits, including ease of installation. They can be removable or temporary if needed. They work nicely in smaller work areas where you have an unusual shape or size you need to cover. Many tiles offer anti-fatigue properties and chemical resistance.
  
• Rolls: When you need to cover a walkway at the warehouse, the long, narrow design of a roll is a perfect choice. Such rolls often are waterproof with anti-slip capabilities, making it safer to walk in wet areas. Some rolls offer chemical resistance, too.

Benefits of Warehouse Flooring

Some of the biggest benefits of using a warehouse floor covering in place of or over the top of bare concrete include:

• Extremely tough and designed to last for years
  
• Installation generally requires no adhesive
  
• Several are oil, chemical, mold, and mildew protected in order to withstand the harshest environments
  
• Flooring offers maximized traction for improved worker safety
  
• Many options increase worker comfort when standing continuously
  
• Transform hard, worn subfloors into safer, great-looking spaces
