Restaurant floor coverings are designed for durability. But just like any other commercial floor coverings, they won’t last forever. So how do you know when it’s time to start shopping around? Here are a few signs that you just might need to invest in new floor coverings for your Georgia Restaurant:
-
Your Commercial Floor Coverings Are Warped or Discolored
If you’ve started to notice a few spots on your restaurant floor coverings are warped or discolored, watch out – that could indicate there’s been water damage. Once the floor has been damaged by water, its condition will only continue to deteriorate, often with mold taking hold. And of course mold can cause replacement costs to increase exponentially. So it is important to replace your commercial floor coverings earlier rather than later.
The damaged flooring will have to be replaced, but only after you’ve had a professional plumber check for leaks and resolve any problems. You should also have a contractor inspect the subfloor to make sure it did not sustain any damage before having your new commercial floor coverings installed.
-
Your Restaurant Floor Coverings Have Many Dents and Scratches
Even when floors are shown the best of care, scratches and dents will accumulate over time. A few marks here or there are no big deal. You might even be able to cover up or buff out some of the damage, depending on the type of flooring you have.
The problem comes when there are so many dents and scratches that it’s noticeable to customers. What does a pockmarked floor say about your business? If there are numerous scratches and dents on your commercial floor coverings, it might be time to get them replaced.
-
Your Commercial Floor Coverings Are More than a Decade Old
This one actually depends upon the type of material that your restaurant floor coverings are made from. Some commercial floor coverings can last up to 25 years, but they tend to run on the expensive side so not many business owners choose this option. You should find out how long it’s been since the floor has been redone and how long they were under warranty. This will give you a good idea if you need to start thinking about replacement.
-
Your Flooring’s Out of Fashion
Unless your restaurant is going for a retro theme, commercial floor coverings that are obviously dated have got to go. The style of restaurant floor coverings you use play a major role in creating your establishment’s atmosphere. Is your flooring clean and classy or warm and homey? Whatever ambience you’re trying to create, step into the new millennium and find some flooring that’s stylish and up-to-date.

If the property value of your restaurant has been going downhill, one possible reason is because it hasn’t been updated recently. Installing new commercial floor coverings is a worthwhile investment. In fact, it’s one of the easiest ways to boost your property value a bit without experiencing too much service disruption.
