Hi Chaps,

Trying to work out whether to go for Luxury Vinyl Tile or Carpet in the office, it’s a good sized room, with plenty of light. Will have a big desk, chair with castors, and some bookcases.

The LVT would be Karndean Art Select wood, and the carpet would be a decent quality bleach proof with a medium pile.

What would you go for?

Cheers

Something slippery so that the scummy people who frequent the place fall and break their necks?

Hard floor so the chair works well. Also so the crumbs/paperwork can be swept up easily

A rag rug, made from the clothes off poor peoples’ backs?

I didn’t know you could purchase ‘bleach proof’ carpet.

But you want some lux shag pile

Mine is carpeted with one of those big clear plastic squares for your chair to sit on from ikea. But then, I did only buy a cheap carpet for the room.

I just realised how my OP sounded…

I think it is a decision for Theresa May

Carpet.

Hard floors are too noisy with office chairs and feel cold underfoot too, ime.

You’re going to end up with wear marks on the carpet but I’ve been using a cheap carpet in the office I have at home (I work at home) for the past 8 years and it doesn’t get any worse after the first 5 🙂

God to be hard floor if you want a chair with wheels – otherwise you will end up putting some kind of plastic down later on

Even tho it’s a office , it’s still your home…..so my misses kept the carpet down…I’m mean how much mess do you office bods make ??
My misses keeps her home office spotless……shame about the rest of the house!!..ha ha ha

Wheeled chairs make a right mess of Karndean after a while. Had to replace the castors with pad things and SWMBO had the floor in my office relayed.

The perils of randomly capitalising words 😀

Carpet tiles.

The Corridors of Power demand black and white marble tiles.

There’s a hole in my carpet here that says otherwise 8)

I clicked thinking this thread would be full of right-on socialist rage responding some news story that the government department was spending billions on new ivory floor tiles or something whilst everyone else lives in abject poverty.

The reality is very disappointing, except for the Ron Burgundy comment which was spot on.

When I worked there it was a combination of wooden flooring for the main corridors moving onto hardwearing carpet in each of the main open plan office areas. Colour choice was dominated by the main corporate colours e.g. mauve.

Carpet then one of those hard plastic sheets (IKEA?) to protect the carpet from the wheels on the chair. Glides easier too…
