Our Flooring Process for Apartments
Initial Consultation & Free Estimate
Our team will consult with you to understand your intentions for the space, an ideal timeline, and a reasonable budget. Meetings can occur on-site to gain perspective about the space itself or in the showroom so that you can see the abundant options we have for apartment flooring. We will talk through specific needs, such as noise reduction in multi-family units and durability for apartments with turnover.
Showroom Visit & Product Selection
Visiting our showroom offers clients the opportunity to peruse the myriad possibilities of flooring for apartments. Our team provides knowledgeable recommendations on designs, materials, and longevity for all apartment flooring needs. We even provide flooring samples to take back to your apartment space and view in the actual environmental conditions.
Onsite Assessment
The Interior Motives Flooring team will visit the installation site to calculate the square footage, evaluate the condition of the subfloor, and recognize any challenges that will need to be considered. If the space needs to have leveling or moisture issues addressed before installation, the team will make a note. Additionally, we will propose the most viable flooring option based on foot traffic, floor plan, and furniture placement.
Pre-Installation Coordination
We will collaborate with you and your team to properly prepare your space for installation. If furniture needs to be moved or we need access to particular areas, we will convey that to you before installation begins. At this time, we will also verify the date and time of the installation and get your approval on the final material selection.
Professional Installation
The entire installation process is handled in-house. We minimize our footprint on your space by maintaining a clean and organized worksite. Each step of the way, you will be informed about the process. Additionally, we provide flexible schedules encompassing nights and weekends if necessary for your convenience.
Final Walk-Through and Follow-Up
When the job is complete, we will conduct a walkthrough with you to make certain you are pleased. After the installation is finished, Interior Motives Flooring supplies care instructions and upkeep recommendations. Furthermore, we provide a subsequent check-in after installation to make certain the flooring for your apartment is functioning effectively.
Commercial Flooring for Apartments FAQs
Luxury vinyl flooring is optimal for apartments with high tenant turnover. The combination of durability and water resistance, along with cost-effectiveness and easy repair, makes vinyl a suitable flooring solution for any room in an apartment. Its secure adhesion to the subfloor makes it ideal for apartments because it creates a stable surface that won’t shift with the movement of furniture or heavy appliances. Individual planks or tiles can be repaired or replaced without the entire floor being affected.
Carpets are traditionally best at absorbing noises like sound vibration from footsteps. The soft fibers and padding absorb and muffle sound, especially if the underpad is dense. However, thicker vinyl flooring with an underlayment may be a great choice as well. Thick underlayments made of materials such as foam, rubber, or cork are also good solutions for reducing noise. Laminate flooring can also be used to reduce sound with the right underlayment. Not only does a thicker underlayment contribute to noise reduction, but it also provides more stability for the floor.
The most suitable flooring solution for apartments depends largely on the specific apartment and the target tenants. Regardless, hard surface flooring is popular for areas that receive high traffic, such as living rooms, bathrooms, and hallways. Luxury vinyl flooring is durable, versatile, and easy to clean, making it a top choice for apartment flooring. Not only is luxury vinyl durable and budget-friendly, but it also provides an upscale, modern look that is easy to maintain.
Yes, high-quality commercial vinyl is waterproof. It is constructed of multiple layers, including a waterproof core. The inner core is typically made from a combination of powdered limestone or wood fibers and plastic, making it difficult for water to penetrate. Because it isn’t merely water-resistant, but rather waterproof, it is an ideal flooring solution for apartments that may experience frequent spills. Proper installation of this flooring will keep water from damaging your floors. It is suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and any high-traffic areas that may be frequently exposed to water.
