The best flooring for retail space depends on the type of business. A food retailer will require a hygienic floor that is easily cleaned and resists spillages and bacterial growth, whereas a furniture retailer may prefer the more luxurious appearance of fitted carpet or carpet tiles. Usually, a floor finish should be unobtrusive and not detract from the goods that the retailer is selling, but some outlets such as pubs and restaurants will want to create comfortable surroundings and the floor finish can contribute to this. For example, a warm oak floor in a country pub will create a far nicer ambience than a more practical vinyl.
