As we gear up for the 2024 college football season, we can’t help but reminisce on our incredible partnership with Auburn University! It was an honor to contribute to such a reputable institution known for excellence both on and off the field. The new facility included a full-length swimming pool, a 25,000-square-foot weight room, a barbershop, two recording studios, a flight simulator, and a locker room and lounge for the players - just to name a few.  Looking ahead, we're eager to see the impact of our work as we continue to enhance the training environment for Auburn's athletes.  #CommercialFlooring #AuburnUniversity #FootballPracticeFacility #AthleticFlooring

The right flooring can make all the difference in an office environment. Here’s how Vanguard helps minimize distractions and optimize concentration: 1. Tackles Noise: When it comes to reducing impact noise, carpets outperform hard flooring, absorbing sound and lowering disruptive noises in the office. 2. Promotes Mobility: Enhance your employees' well-being by considering sit-to-stand working environments. Our carpet tiles are designed to support versatile working practices, creating a comfortable and adaptable workspace. 3. Enhances Creativity: Selecting calming blue tones or inspiring green shades can boost morale and creativity among employees. Our solutions provide a visually appealing environment, contributing to a positive work atmosphere. 4. Improves Comfort: Temperature and comfort play a crucial role in productivity. Our carpet tiles act as effective insulators, ensuring a pleasant temperature regardless of the weather. Ready to invest in your office space?

When it comes to choosing flooring options, cost plays a crucial role in the decision-making process. Finding the right balance between budget and quality is essential. To help you navigate through this decision-making process, consider the following selections: ✅ Budget-friendly: Looking for cost-effective choices? Consider laminate, vinyl, and carpet. While these options are budget-friendly, it's important to factor in long-term costs such as maintenance and potential replacements. ✅ Mid-range: Hardwood, tile, and stone fall into the mid-range category. Despite a higher upfront cost, they offer better durability and long-term savings, making them a popular choice. ✅ Premium: For those aiming for high-end and luxurious flooring, premium options such as concrete, cork, and specialty flooring applications like radiant heat or outdoor spaces are available with a higher price tag. Keep these insights in mind as you consider your flooring options! https://lnkd.in/gGWJD6tG   #Flooring #Budgeting #CommercialFlooring

With benefits like low material costs, high durability, and an efficient installation process, polished concrete can be an excellent long-term investment. Installed primarily using the concrete slab itself, its pricing can be set well in advance, minimizing cost fluctuations. Additionally, it is highly favored and chosen for its sleek, modern appearance.

Moisture testing is key to preventing long-term damage to concrete and wooden floors. When communicating with our vendors, we are certain to perform accurate site reviews to ensure every slab’s readiness for floor installation. The information gained from moisture testing can guide us to selecting the appropriate moisture mitigation methods to avoid future flooring issues. Whether you are working on commercial or residential flooring projects, these testing steps will keep your floor safe from moisture: 1️⃣ Evaluate Subfloor Moisture: No matter your flooring material, assess the moisture condition of the subfloor. Even materials like tile or carpet can be affected. Use a handheld moisture meter for wood, plywood, or OSB subfloors, aiming for low MC readings (6-9%). 2️⃣ Concrete Inspection: For concrete slabs, opt for the in situ relative humidity test (ASTM F2170). This method ensures an accurate assessment of readiness for installation. Compare results against flooring product specifications to determine dryness. 3️⃣ Wood Acclimation: Wood flooring requires special attention. Allow 3 to 7 days for acclimation onsite before installation. Measure wood moisture content (MC%) with a wood moisture meter, aiming for 6-9%.

Summer is the perfect time to revamp your commercial space. During renovations, having ventilation of dust and odors is important.
