For high-traffic commercial environments such as malls, offices, hotels, hospitals, and operating rooms, the ideal vinyl flooring should be durable, hygienic, slip-resistant, and easy to maintain. Here are the best choices:

1. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Flooring
Best for: Malls, Offices, Hotels

Why? Extremely durable, waterproof, and resistant to heavy foot traffic. SPC’s rigid core prevents dents and scratches, making it ideal for retail and corporate spaces.

2. LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) with Enhanced Wear Layer
Best for: Offices, Hotels

Why? Offers a premium look (wood/stone effect) with excellent scratch resistance. A 20+ mil wear layer ensures longevity in busy areas.

3. Homogeneous Vinyl Sheet Flooring
Best for: Hospitals, Operating Rooms

Why? Seamless installation prevents bacteria buildup, making it hygienic and easy to sterilize. It also provides slip resistance (R10/R11 rating) and chemical resistance for medical environments.

4. Heterogeneous Vinyl with Antimicrobial Coating
Best for: Hospitals, Clinics

Why? Features anti-bacterial treatments to inhibit microbial growth, crucial for healthcare settings.

Key Considerations:
Slip Resistance: Look for R10/R11 ratings for hospitals and malls.

Noise Reduction: Cushioned backing is ideal for offices and hotels.

Fire Ratings: Ensure Class for safety compliance.

For operating rooms, homogeneous vinyl sheets are the best choice due to their sterility and durability, while SPC and LVT work well in malls, offices, and hotels for aesthetics and resilience.
