Conference rooms are the beating heart of the business world, and thousands of professionals use them to table meetings, conduct interviews, and make million-dollar pitches every year. If you are in charge of fitting out a new conference room or remodeling an existing room, choosing the right flooring for the room can be more important than you might think. 

Luxury vinyl plank flooring, or LVP, is an excellent choice of flooring for any commercial conference room. Here are four reasons to fit your conference room with luxury vinyl plank flooring:

Attractive Look And Feel  

To maximize productivity, conference rooms must be attractive and inviting for the people who work in them. Luxury vinyl plank flooring from a reputable flooring dealer can be remarkably beautiful. LVP is made from thick, multi-layered slabs of high-quality vinyl, giving it both the look and feel of a premium flooring product.

If you wish to mimic the timeless beauty of hardwood flooring, but don't want to deal with hardwood's cost and maintenance issues, there are a number of LVP products that closely mimic the look of real hardwoods. The best examples have three-dimensional grain patterns etched into their surfaces, and will look just like real timber even under close inspection.

If you are shooting for a brighter, contemporary look for your conference space, you can also choose from a wide variety of vibrant patterned and solid-color LVP products. These floors are especially suitable for conference rooms in tech spaces and creative industries, where eye-catching design that fosters creativity and inspiration is valued.

Durability

Conference rooms in busy commercial buildings may have thousands of users in a given year, and rental conference rooms in shared office spaces are particularly busy places. They must be fitted with flooring that can withstand heavy foot traffic without showing visible wear.

LVP's multi-layered structure gives it excellent dimensional stability and resistance to wear. It is also highly resistant to fading and discoloration caused by wear. If individual planks do become damaged by heavy impacts or accidents, they can be replaced individually, minimizing repair costs. Keep it clean, and your conference room's LVP floor will look newly fitted for years to come.

Low Maintenance

A conference room that is off-limits because of cleaning or maintenance operations is of no use to anybody. LVP is a superb low-maintenance flooring choice and does not have any specialized maintenance requirements. It never needs to be oiled, shampooed, or refinished.

Unlike commercial-grade carpet and carpet tiles, LVP does not require vacuuming, as any dust or debris can be swept easily off of its smooth surface. It can be cleaned using basic floor cleaning chemicals and detergents and can tolerate moisture without warping (unlike hardwood flooring) or delaminating (unlike laminate flooring). Because LVP is waterproof, it is also virtually impossible to stain.

Cost Effective

Despite all of these advantages, luxury vinyl plank flooring is remarkably inexpensive and far cheaper than other 'premium' flooring products. Its exceptional durability and minimal maintenance costs also make it a better long-term investment than most other flooring options.
