Glass, glass and more glass Our commercial clients continue to use more and more glass in their spaces. Privacy has become less of a concern than openness, it helps light travel easily, and it makes a space feel bigger.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) At first LVT was only found in hospitals, but it has become very popular lately and options have proliferated. It is an affordable, durable, flexible flooring that can feel very much like wood, or tile, or almost anything else you can imagine.

LED Lighting Utility bills can be a big concern in a commercial space, but it is important that the light not feel too sterile. As LED has become more refined, this has become one of the options of choice. We have come a long way from the days of the 2’x4’ fluorescent box.

Popular Products or Design Features For A Commercial Space:
Commercial renovation problems to avoid:
-
Who pays? ~ Commercial spaces usually involve two parties–the building owner and the business owner. Regardless of which one you are, you don’t want to pay for more than your share of a construction project. Having a commercial realtor and an attorney specializing in commercial real estate is an invaluable asset for this process.
-
The city ~ Ok, so you can’t actually avoid the city. You will need to get a permit any time you move a wall or mess with wiring. Just allow 2 to 6 weeks for city planning process. The wheels of government turn slowly and painfully at times.
-
Spacing ~ The layout of a commercial space can have a dramatic impact (good or bad) on the productivity of your employees. Think carefully before just plopping that copy machine in the hall. It might be adding dozens of steps to an employee’s day, and burning hundreds of dollars of time.
