A commercial floor has to withstand the way a business operates.
- An office receives employees and visitors every day.
- A showroom receives customers and must have a good floor.
- A restaurant needs surfaces that can withstand frequent cleaning, spills, and heavy foot traffic.
- A retail shop needs durability without compromising appearance or brand image.
This is why commercial flooring should be selected according to traffic levels, maintenance requirements, moisture exposure, and brand identity—not just price per square metre.
SUIMAS currently provides commercial flooring solutions using epoxy, commercial vinyl/LVT, porcelain, polished concrete, engineered wood, and commercial laminate for offices, showrooms, retail stores, salons, clinics, restaurants, and other business environments across Nairobi and all 47 counties.
Epoxy Flooring: Durable and Easy to Maintain
Epoxy is useful for demanding commercial environments where durability and easy cleaning are important.
SUIMAS’s 2026 showroom flooring guide places indicative supply-and-install rates at approximately:
- Standard/self-levelling epoxy: KES 2,500–4,500/m²
- Epoxy flake: KES 3,500–6,000/m²
- Metallic epoxy: KES 4,500–7,500/m²
The substrate is critical. Epoxy cannot compensate for a poorly prepared concrete floor. Proper assessment, crack repairs, levelling, and moisture checks are essential before application.
Epoxy works particularly well in:
- Showrooms and retail spaces
- Warehouses and storage areas
- Workshops and service bays
- Commercial kitchens and utility zones
Commercial Vinyl and LVT: Versatile and Brand-Friendly
Commercial vinyl and LVT (luxury vinyl tiles) offer businesses a broad selection of patterns and textures.
They can reproduce timber, stone, and other visual effects while being practical for:
- Offices and co-working spaces
- Retail environments and boutiques
- Selected hospitality spaces such as salons, clinics, and lounges
Vinyl and LVT provide comfort underfoot, noise reduction, and relatively quick installation—important factors when businesses are renovating while trying to minimise downtime.
Porcelain Flooring: Clean and Architectural
Porcelain is suitable for offices, showrooms, restaurants, and other commercial spaces where a clean, architectural appearance is required.
Large-format porcelain can reduce the visual number of grout lines, creating a more continuous, seamless floor that enhances the perception of space.
Porcelain is particularly effective in:
- Corporate offices and reception areas
- High-end showrooms and galleries
- Restaurants and cafes with a modern aesthetic
- Retail stores seeking a premium look
Polished Concrete: Industrial-Chic and Low-Maintenance
Polished concrete can work particularly well for contemporary offices, showrooms, and industrial-inspired commercial interiors.
It can be paired with:
- Exposed services and ductwork
- Metal detailing and glass partitions
- Timber elements and modern lighting
Polished concrete offers a minimalist, durable surface that requires relatively low ongoing maintenance when properly sealed.
What Happens Before Installation?
Professional commercial flooring starts with assessment.
SUIMAS considers:
Existing floor → Measurements → Traffic analysis → Material selection → Design → Preparation → Installation → Finishing
If the existing floor is damaged, uneven, or contaminated, preparation becomes part of the project. This may include:
- Crack repairs and patching
- Levelling and screeding
- Removal of old adhesives or coatings
- Moisture testing and damp-proofing
- Surface profiling for epoxy or polished concrete
This is particularly important when businesses are renovating while trying to minimise downtime and disruption to operations.
Flooring and Commercial Interior Design
Flooring should also connect with the rest of the business environment.
- In an office, it should work with glass partitions, reception branding, workstations, and lighting.
- In a showroom, it should complement the products on display without competing for attention.
- In a salon or kinyozi, it needs to coordinate with mirrors, furniture, signage, and feature walls.
- In a restaurant, it should support the overall theme while remaining practical for cleaning and safety.
SUIMAS combines commercial interior design with renovation and finishing services so these elements can be coordinated within the same project. Explore our commercial interior design service for tailored workplace and retail solutions.
Why Nairobi Businesses Choose Suimas for Commercial Flooring
For Nairobi businesses, a commercial flooring contractor should be able to handle more than material installation. The project needs:
- Accurate measurement and traffic analysis
- Substrate preparation and repair
- Appropriate material selection for the business type
- Coordination with the wider commercial fit-out (partitions, ceilings, lighting, branding, furniture)
SUIMAS combines design, material sourcing, installation, and project coordination, allowing business owners to avoid managing multiple independent fundis.
