Hotel Flooring: Five-Star Comfort & Durability

The Luxury Choice: Engineered Wood

For boutique suites and grand lobbies.

For high-end hotels and luxury B&Bs, Engineered Wood is the defining feature of a premium room. It offers a warmth, scent, and texture that immediately justifies a higher room rate. Unlike solid wood, its stable construction handles the temperature fluctuations of air-conditioned rooms and open lobbies perfectly.

• Review-Winning Style: Real timber adds an authentic sense of luxury that guests love to photograph.
• Adds Asset Value: A premium finish that enhances the valuation of your property.
• Refinishable: Can be sanded and refinished to remove scuffs, extending its lifespan for decades.
• Acoustic Warmth: Naturally dampens sound better than tile, keeping lobbies quieter.
• Timeless Appeal: Classic Oak and Walnut never go out of style, ensuring your decor lasts.

The Workhorse Choice: Commercial Laminate

Durability for standard rooms and corridors.

For busy guest houses, corridors, and standard rooms, Commercial Grade Laminate is the ultimate workhorse. Its hardened melamine surface is exceptionally resistant to impact and abrasion, making it the best defense against the dragging of suitcases and trolley wheels.

• Suitcase Resistant: Tough surface resists scratches from plastic wheels and grit.
• Cost-Effective: Renovate multiple rooms on a budget without sacrificing the “wood look.”
• Commercial Warranty: Backed by up to 15 years commercial warranty for peace of mind.
• Fade Resistant: Perfect for rooms with large windows, resisting UV bleaching.
• Easy to Clean: Housekeeping can vacuum and damp mop in minutes, ensuring faster room turnover.

The En-Suite Solution: SPC Vinyl Click

Seamless flow from bedroom to bathroom.

Modern hotel design often features open-plan en-suites. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Vinyl Click is 100% waterproof, allowing you to run the same floor from the sleeping area directly into the bathroom without threshold strips.

• 100% Waterproof: Impervious to shower splashes and wet towels.
• Slip Resistance: Textured surfaces provide essential grip for guests (R10 rated).
• Acoustic Dampening: Reduces the sound of footsteps, preventing noise complaints from the room below.
• Superior Hygiene: Seamless installation creates a sterile environment that is easy to sanitise.

Hospitality Design Trends

The Boutique Herringbone Nothing signals “Luxury Stay” quite like Parquet. Installing Engineered Wood Herringbone in your reception or lobby creates an immediate sense of grandeur and history.

The Scandi Retreat Pale, whitewashed woods make small guest rooms feel airy, clean, and spacious. This minimalist look is also very forgiving of dust, making rooms look cleaner for longer.

The “Resimercial” Vibe Business travellers want to feel at home. Choosing warm, rustic oak tones rather than sterile grey corporate floors creates a welcoming, “home-from-home” atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hard flooring too noisy for hotels? Acoustics are vital in hotels. While carpet is silent, it is less hygienic. To manage sound with hard flooring, we strongly recommend using a high-quality acoustic underlay (or SPC Vinyl with built-in underlay) to dampen impact noise. Adding area rugs under beds also helps absorb sound.

How do we protect the floor from luggage? The entrance to the room sees the most wear. We recommend a high-quality barrier mat just inside the room door to catch grit from suitcase wheels. For reception desks, protect the floor with invisible polycarbonate mats if luggage is frequently dragged across a specific spot.

Can we install floor-by-floor? Yes. Our Click systems (floating floors) require no adhesive and no drying time. You can refurbish a block of rooms and have them back on sale 24 hours later, minimising lost revenue.
