Protect your flooring when winter comes(3)

Protect Flooring from Sunlight

Fading tends to occur when flooring is exposed to sun for long periods of time. Rule of thumb – protect your floors from the sun when applicable. Sure, you may not be thinking of your flooring throughout the day, but it is ideal to make it a habit to block your floors from the sun during the hottest hours of the day.

If your current windows are not equipped with the proper coverage, it may be wise to get new drapes or shades installed. If your employees enjoy the sunlight beaming through the office, consider blinds that allow for angling so you can allow some sunlight in, but not an extreme amount that will put your floors at risk for discoloration and deterioration.

Ensure Proper Floor Maintenance 

The summer brings about the time when people are most enjoying the great outdoors. Regardless of your business industry, your employees, consumers and other company stakeholders are most likely bringing in dirt, mud, outdoor allergens, and other contaminants back inside the office more often than during any other season. Ensuring that your floors are properly maintained during the summertime will not only protect your floors from stagnant fluids seeping in, but it will also optimally protect your floors from stains and damage, while also keeping the air in your office fresh and allergen free.
