Architects often reach for new, non-standard solutions – including resin floors. Little do people know, resin floors too come in an array of colors and functions. Everything you can imagine is possible, so give your office a change of bright and welcoming colors. Bear in mind that employees spend an estimate 90,000 hours, 1/3 of their life at work. The last thing you want is for your employees to come in to a place of work where they feel unmotivated, dull and dark. Read on for recommendations on what you could apply for designated areas of your office. Each room has a different function, so chances are one flooring material alone isn’t likely to work for your whole office.
