You only get one chance to make a first impression. In most commercial flooring settings – whether it be healthcare, hospitality, education, or even retail – the first area people encounter is the lobby. This makes the design of the lobby an especially critical component of any new or renovated flooring project.
Lobby flooring serves a multitude of purposes. From an aesthetic perspective, it welcomes visitors to a space and communicates one’s brand or mission. In terms of performance, lobby flooring must be versatile, durable and up to the aesthetic standards previously mentioned. A balancing act for sure, but one that can be elegantly achieved with luxury vinyl flooring.
To help in the selection process, here are some of the benefits of LVT flooring for lobby and lounge area design and best practices to serve as a guide for your next redesign.

Lobby Area Design Best Practices

#1 LVT is High-Traffic Flooring

No matter the industry, lobbies all tend to be high-traffic areas. Whether it’s visitors, employees, deliveries, or maintenance workers, people come in and out of the lobby arguably more than any other area of a building. Therefore, the lobby flooring must be high performing and durable.

LVT is a perfectly suited flooring product for entries, lobbies, and atriums. Luxury vinyl tile is composed of multiple layers fused together using a unique high-pressure and heat process that is then sealed with a protective layer that makes it incredibly durable and naturally scuff-resistant. Paired with nearly endless design options, LVT flooring is the ideal option for lobbies.

#2 Go for Glue Down

While LVT flooring is naturally suited for high-traffic settings due to its strong construction, the installation methods can further enhance its durable qualities. To help prevent shifting, it is recommended that lobby flooring be either 3mm glue-down or 5mm loose lay vinyl flooring that is also installed using adhesive.

While gluing down 5mm loose lay might sound counterintuitive, this is actually a common and highly recommended option for lobby designs. The 5mm loose lay vinyl is a thicker constructed option that offers acoustical benefits that will help to muffle and reduce noise.

#3 LVT is Smooth & Flat

It’s not just foot traffic that lobby area design needs to consider. Because lobbies are the primary access to any business or office, deliveries often come through – or roll through – the lobby or entry area. To help ensure the smoothest delivery possible, look for a smooth and flat flooring option like luxury vinyl.

LVT, unlike other flooring options, doesn’t impose any roller resistance. This will help dollies, hand trucks, carts, and cleaning equipment move freely over the flooring without damaging or scuffing the lobby floor.

#4 It’s Easy to Clean & Maintain

In addition to its highly durable construction and countless design options, another appealing feature of LVT flooring is its ease of maintenance. You don’t need harsh chemicals or wax; luxury vinyl can be cleaned with a broom or mop, using a neutral pH cleaner.

LVT flooring is naturally scuff and stain resistant, but every commercial flooring can use some refreshing after years of heavy use. To reinforce the protective layer on LVT, simply apply a synthetic flooring finish – NOT wax. Finishes developed for LVT flooring in high-traffic areas can add a protective barrier, making floors look new again.

#5 Select Patterned Lobby Flooring

In pursuit of making a lasting first impression, we sometimes see designers and companies opt for an eye-catching lobby floor, usually selecting a white or very light color. While this certainly will draw people’s attention, it will also show every speck of dirt, water, mud, salt, and sand brought in with people’s shoes.

To get the best of both worlds, it is recommended that the lobby area design incorporate more than one flooring pattern. In the initial entry area, opt for a luxury vinyl flooring solution with more design integrity and a diverse pattern to better mask any mess on the floor. As visitors move through the lobby, it is simple and aesthetically pleasing to switch to a different, complementary LVT design. Luxury vinyl is intended to work and blend, so all lobby area design visions can become a reality.

In the flooring industry, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is becoming an increasingly popular choice thanks to its perfect blend of aesthetics, durability, and convenience. With advanced manufacturing technology, An Cuong’s LVT flooring offers natural beauty, superior quality, and flexible adaptability to various spaces—from homes and offices to commercial areas.

Authentic Beauty, Timeless Elegance

Not only does LVT perfectly replicate wood, stone, or tile grains, but it also provides a lifelike experience with sharp, sophisticated surfaces. Modern printing technology ensures that each grain appears vivid and deep, bringing a sense of luxury suitable for diverse interior styles, from classic to contemporary. Additionally, LVT features a scratch-resistant protective layer, maintaining its stunning look even in high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, or retail stores.

Waterproof & Easy to Clean

One of LVT flooring’s standout advantages is its absolute water resistance. You can install it in kitchens, bathrooms, or other high-humidity areas without worrying about warping or damage. Moreover, its surface is effortless to clean—a simple damp cloth is enough to keep your space spotless, saving you time on maintenance.

Soft, Noise-Reducing, and Pet-Friendly

An Cuong’s LVT flooring not only ensures comfort when walking but also provides excellent noise reduction. A specially designed underlayer absorbs sound, creating a quieter environment, ideal for apartments and offices.

When we think about interior design, we often think of the visuals — the color scheme, the décor, and the layout of the space. However, one vital, but often forgotten element that also plays a very important role in design is sound.

Flooring choice impacts not only the look of a room or building, it also determines how noisy or quiet the space will be. In commercial settings such as hospitals, retail stores and multifamily buildings, having quiet flooring is a top priority. Luckily, there are many options on the market today that are made specially to balance beautiful design with noise reduction. This is known as acoustic flooring.

Acoustic Flooring & Sound

In the simplest of terms, sound is transmitted by waves that travel through the air and are received through electrical signals to the brain. In commercial settings, these “waves” are created by several events, objects, and people. It might be a rolling cart in a grocery store, a person working out in a fitness studio, or just a noisy tenant in a multifamily apartment building — all of these environments require a sound-absorbing solution.

A great way to lessen the impact of these sound producers is with acoustic flooring solutions. This flooring is specially designed to reduce noise, and comes in many types, sizes, and colors. Two of the most popular choices for acoustic flooring are LVT and hardwood flooring. These versatile flooring options have countless design options and have natural sound-absorbing properties. But how do you measure a flooring’s ability to muffle noise?

Acoustic Flooring Tests

There are two acoustics tests that are widely used across industries, including flooring, to gauge how well a material or product will muffle or absorb sound.

1. Impact Insulation Class (IIC): The Impact Insulation Class (IIC) is a method of rating the impact sound transmission performance of an assembly. The higher the IIC, the better the noise control of the element. An IIC of 55 is generally considered a good impact noise control. For reference, An Cuong’s loose lay LVT has an IIC of 64, and the rigid core click flooring has a score of 68.

• Delta IIC – This is a follow-up to the IIC test, and it measures the improvement of sound reduction from the first IIC test to the second

2. Sound Transmission Class (STC): The Sound Transmission Class (STC) method of rating airborne sounds evaluates the comfort ability of a particular living space. The higher the STC, the better the airborne noise control performance of the structure. An STC of 50 or above is generally considered a good airborne noise control rating.

LVT and hardwood flooring have traditionally performed well on these tests, making them an optimal choice for flooring installations in high-traffic, busy locations. However, if the flooring you’re interested in isn’t super sound absorbing, there are additional steps you can take.

Using LVT or Hardwood for Acoustic Flooring

If you choose LVT or hardwood for your next acoustic flooring option, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here is a quick guide to utilizing these materials in your next soundproofing project.

1. Types of LVT: There are multiple types of LVT — glue down, floating, and rigid core click are the most common — but two are renowned for their acoustic properties:

• Rigid Core Click: Rigid core click is an easy-to-install LVT option that can be simply clicked and locked into place. The benefit of rigid core is its specialized backing that reduces sound from heavy foot traffic or other elements rolling over the floor with an attached cushion.
• Loose Lay: Loose Lay LVT typically comes in 5mm thickness, which makes it naturally more sound absorbing. However, loose lay makes it easy to apply a non-skid back, which adds another layer of padding and makes loose lay another great acoustic flooring choice.

2. Types of Hardwood: Hardwood flooring is quite versatile when it comes to acoustic properties. Softer hardwoods, such as pine, spruce, and cedar, are all excellent choices for sound absorption. When installed over a proper subfloor or acoustic subfloor, hardwood’s sound-reducing qualities greatly increase.

It’s also important to note the differences between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood planks. Solid hardwood, as it sounds, is are solid plank of hardwood harvested from a single board. Engineered hardwood, on the other hand, is a very thin layer of hardwood board over a plywood or MDF subfloor. This gives the appearance of traditional solid hardwood flooring without the full cost.

Benefits of Soundproofing

Soundproof flooring, or at least acoustic flooring, is ideal for most commercial settings. However, two settings in particular most often call for sound-absorbing flooring installations.

• Multi-family housing – In multifamily housing buildings or complexes, acoustic flooring is the optimal choice. Installing sound-absorbing flooring is a no-brainer in living areas, but it should also be considered for common areas, lobbies, and fitness facilities if appropriate.
• Hospitality – Hotels and motels require acoustic flooring. The last thing you want to encounter are disgruntled guests who have been disturbed by unnecessary noise during their stays. Furthermore, if the hotel or motel is located in a city or near busy roadways, these flooring options will be even more critical to ensure happy guests.

LVT Noise Reduction Options:

LVT, depending on what type you use, can be a great acoustic flooring solution. If you’re looking for extra floor soundproofing, there are a couple of tools you can use to enhance a floor’s performance.

1. Acoustic Underlayment: Typically made of foam or recycled fiber materials, acoustic underlayment can be installed over subflooring, but below LVT planks and tiles. With underlayment, LVT flooring will get added cushioning and enhanced sound-absorbing properties.
2. Sound Absorbing Floor Insulation: This is ideal for pre-existing installs or for installations that will include new subflooring. Sound absorbing floor insulation goes below the subfloor beneath the floor joists and is another excellent acoustic flooring option

These are both excellent options, but there are some flooring options — namely, LVT — that don’t require any extra padding or foam to be noise reducing. Many LVT options come with an attached IXPE backing that enhances their noise-reducing properties. With or without IXPE backing, LVT is a popular choice for acoustic flooring.

An Cuong’s Rigid Core Click with specialized acoustic backing, loose lay, and dryback LVT options can be enhanced with sound absorbing materials, and are suited for versatile installations. LVT is a great acoustic flooring option, which is just one of the many reasons it’s so popular in nearly any commercial setting.

Installing luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring is not just about choosing your favorite design and starting the installation. To achieve a perfect result, many factors need to be carefully considered before, during, and after the installation process. Follow An Cường Flooring to learn about the important points to ensure your LVT flooring is not only beautiful but also durable over time in the article below.

Subfloor Identification

Before installing LVT, understanding the type of subfloor is crucial. Common subfloor types such as concrete, cement/sand screed, ceramic tiles, and wood all need to be properly prepared. In some cases, the subfloor may need to be completely removed to avoid damage. Additionally, it is important to check if the house has a functioning damp-proof membrane (DPM) to control moisture and prevent it from affecting the LVT finish.

Moisture Testing

Moisture is the main cause of 90% of flooring failures. Therefore, moisture testing before installation is a step that cannot be skipped. If the subfloor does not have a DPM or the DPM is damaged, moisture can affect the lifespan of the flooring. A moisture level below 75% RH indicates that the subfloor is dry and ready for the next steps. If the moisture level is above 75% RH, a moisture suppressant or DPM should be used to protect the flooring.

Condition of the Subfloor

The subfloor must be solid, clean, stable, and free of cracks. In some cases, adhesive barriers need to be ground off or repair products used to fill holes. This ensures a solid foundation for the LVT.

Movement Joints

In commercial buildings, handling movement joints is very important. You can integrate these joints into the floor covering by using expansion strips. This should be done before applying the leveling and smoothing compound to ensure the highest quality finish.

Leveling and Smoothing Compounds

Before installing LVT, ensuring the subfloor reaches the ideal height and flatness is crucial. Choosing the right leveling and smoothing compound will help the surface meet the UK’s SR1 standard, providing a perfect finish for the floor. Additionally, you should consider using an appropriate underlay to enhance the durability and stability of the subfloor.

Adhesive selection and installation

Adhesive is a key factor determining the durability and performance of LVT flooring. Following the manufacturer’s recommendations for adhesive selection is essential to ensure installation quality. Make sure to use the correct trowel to apply the adhesive and optimize the contact between the LVT and adhesive by using a heavy roller. This will help create a strong and durable bond for your flooring.

Guidelines, datasheets and standards

Adhering to the data sheets and advice from both the adhesive and LVT manufacturers throughout the installation process is best practice. This ensures the long-term performance of the installation and customer satisfaction.

Summary

Achieving a perfect LVT installation requires knowledge and professional skills. From preparing the subfloor to the final finish, each step demands meticulousness and precision. Handling challenges such as moisture, subfloor stability, and proper LVT adjustment will ensure your flooring is not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable over time. By following best practices, you can be confident that your LVT flooring will always be perfect and meet all usage requirements.
