When selecting a floor covering, it's important to take a long-term approach and factor in the costs of the flooring and its maintenance requirements. Some floor coverings also can contribute to LEED® certification, so choosing environmentally friendly products can help your indoor and outdoor environment. Specifying flooring products that can positively impact the long-term performance of a commercial facility is a practice that all planning teams should explore.
