Because we spend most of our time indoors, whether it be at work or home; concentration and well-being are essential. To ensure you are creating that perfect environment, think about the space holistically; particularly your floor. Selecting the right flooring material creates the perfect canvas for a calming and productive work space. When selecting materials, wood flooring is a beautiful and practical choice for any workspace. Not only does it add warmth and sophistication to any room, it also provides several benefits that contribute to a positive and healthy work environment. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at why wood flooring is the ideal choice for any work space.
Wood flooring promotes a healthy room climate
The integration of wood surfaces and furnishings, in closed spaces, creates a natural working environment stimulating a positive effect on employees. The use of natural materials creates a working environment that allows people to reconnect with nature, fostering a sense of well-being and inner peace. The daily sensory contact with the natural wood floors not only has positive effects on emotional well-being… but also improves the room climate. Wood also has the ability to filter pollutants from the air, making it an ideal choice for spaces using constant power, as it can help relieve and balance the atmosphere.
Durable, robust, and resistant
Aside from the health benefits, wood flooring is also extremely durable, robust, and resistant. In a busy workspace, wooden floors can withstand the everyday stresses of rolling office chairs and constant foot traffic. Our Matt Lacquered finish is our top choice for easy maintenance. Ecowood parquet flooring has a lacquered finish, is FSC certified, and is suitable for fitting over underfloor heating. On the other hand, our UV Oil based floors are easier to repair from any scratches and dents. Our V Collection offers UV Oiled and Matt Lacquered finishes, standing up to those stubborn scratches and dents at an exceptional price point.
Fosters a feel-good atmosphere in the workplace
Wood flooring is a great way to provide a feel-good atmosphere in the workplace. It’s not only a durable material that is easy to clean, but wood flooring is beautiful and when your working area looks great you feel great.
High ecological standard
When it comes to wood flooring there are so many sustainable choices on the market. You can achieve the same aesthetic look but with a hybrid or engineered wood plank. See our extensive range of sustainable FSC certified products.
Easy cleaning and maintenance
Whether it’s an art studio, office or work shop, keeping your space clear of any clutter helps you to destress and focus better. With wood flooring, you don’t need to worry about smells or spills that may come with other flooring materials like carpet because it’s easy to maintain and clean.
Ideal flooring for underfloor heating
Wood floors are also a fantastic way to keep your work space warm without blasting the heater. Particularly if your work requires a colder environment. If that’s not for you, rugs and other flooring are great options to keep your work space warm.
At Ecowood, our vast range of wood floors means you have many options to complement your existing workspace to elevate the overall look and feel of the space. See how a large co-working office incorporated our wood floors in the case study below.
