A good flooring solution is durable and should look good too.First and foremost, it is the responsibility of an employer to ensure the employees are working in a safe and hygienic environment. Slip resistant flooring that is easy to clean and maintain will help achieve this and this is when seamless flooring should come to mind. Traditionally you would find vinyl and tiling used in industrial and commercial areas but ultimately these will crack and show damage, also allowing moisture in creating bacteria and an unclean working environment.
