Allowance versus actual cost
A landlord flooring allowance may not cover upgrades, removal, floor prep or complex patterns.
Schedule
Late material selection can threaten occupancy because some commercial products have long lead times.
Reuse
Existing flooring may be retained in some areas if condition and design support the project.
End of lease
Consider whether the lease creates restoration obligations when choosing permanent or highly customized finishes.
Commercial flooring decisions depend on the actual substrate, moisture conditions, traffic, cleaning regime, accessibility requirements, fire/building rules, manufacturer instructions and local code. This site is for planning and comparison, not installation instructions.
