Best Types of Flooring for Landlords
For landlords it depends on the type of property that is being rented out to determine the best flooring type to suit your needs. In most cases, if you are renting out a residential apartment or house then you, as the landlord, will be responsible for the flooring of the property. However, when it comes to commercial properties it can depend based on the lease. Sometimes you, the landlord are responsible, but in other cases it may be the tenant that is responsible.
Also, whether the premises is commercial or residential has a large bearing on the type of flooring that should be chosen as commercial premises generally experience much higher volumes of foot traffic compared to residential so will require a more robust flooring solution.
Here are the most common flooring options we supply into residential and commercial properties for landlords.

It can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it suitable for various commercial settings such as offices, shops, and restaurants. Additionally, vinyl flooring is resistant to stains and moisture, which simplifies cleaning and upkeep.
