A good office floor blends in
An office space must stimulate concentration as well as creativity. This should minimize distraction as much as possible. Distraction usually comes from visual perception or sound. For office floors it is therefore important that it is sound-absorbing or that contact noise is not disturbing. For this reason it is strongly discouraged to lay laminate in an office; the walking noise with this type of floor is flat and sharp. Vinyl and wood, on the other hand, have a more pleasant sound experience. For example, vinyl has a sound-absorbing effect and wood gives a warmer sound experience. In addition, vinyl has a high abrasion resistance which is well resistant to rolling or sliding office chairs.
