Universities and colleges are more than just an educational experience — they are homes away from home and settings for socializing and building community. To accommodate such a diverse range of uses — including living spaces, educational environments, and areas for fitness, wellness and entertainment — university flooring must be versatile.
To create spaces that are both comfortable and functional for students, with home-like aesthetics that reflect modern design trends, university flooring designs need to blend seamlessly. Our engineered wood flooring products perfectly complement our LVT flooring collections, which means you can find all your commercial flooring solutions in one place. For example, you could install a beautiful hickory wood in a dorm lobby with a corresponding wood-look LVT flooring design in student rooms and hallways. No matter what you choose, the design possibilities are endless, and all our commercial flooring products work together to create a versatile collegiate atmosphere.
Durability should be a primary consideration when choosing the right university flooring. Uniquely built to withstand the heavy foot traffic of a university hallway, reconfiguration of classroom furniture, or spills and messes that will inevitably occur in the dining hall, Parterre commercial flooring products are durable enough to meet the demands of any college environment. Our luxury vinyl flooring selection offers various constructions from 2mm and 3mm glue down plank and tile, to 5mm loose lay vinyl flooring and rigid core flooring designs. Each option features various wear layer thickness that offer protection and resistance to moisture and scratches. Also, the coatings on our engineered wood flooring products are of the highest quality, which means you never have to refinish them yourself.
A top feature of university flooring, commercial LVT and engineered wood flooring are easy to clean and maintain. College flooring gets its fair share of wear and tear from foot traffic, rolling traffic, desks, chairs, furniture and more. LVT’s highly durable polyurethane finish offers a protective layer for everyday cleaning and does not require use of a wax.
With unique designs and unparalleled durability, Parterre LVT and engineered wood flooring can help reflect a university’s culture to prospective students year after year. Our durable products require minimal maintenance and are built to last, meaning more cost savings that you can put toward your students.
Our team has extensive experience and is ready to help you find the best commercial flooring option for your space. Contact one of our friendly and experienced university flooring professionals to discuss using Parterre LVT or commercial engineered wood flooring for your next project.
