Summer brings longer days, bigger crowds, and a noticeable uptick in foot traffic for many commercial spaces. Whether you manage a retail store, office building, restaurant, or healthcare facility, your floors need to hold up—not wear down. The right flooring can enhance safety, improve aesthetics, and reduce long-term maintenance costs, especially during the high-traffic summer season.
At Dragon Scale, we specialize in durable, high-performance flooring solutions tailored to commercial environments. Here’s a look at the top commercial flooring options that are built to withstand heavy summer foot traffic—without sacrificing style or function.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
Why it works:
LVT combines the look of hardwood or stone with superior durability and water resistance. It’s a favorite in commercial spaces thanks to its ability to handle constant movement, moisture, and spills—all common during the summer months.
Best for:
Retail stores, medical offices, restaurants, and multi-use buildings
Benefits:
- Slip-resistant surface
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Resists fading from sunlight exposure
- Fast installation with minimal downtime
Polished Concrete
Why it works:
Polished concrete isn’t just tough—it’s practically indestructible. It offers an ultra-durable finish that resists stains, wear, and heat, making it ideal for high-traffic areas during warm weather. Plus, its modern, industrial look is increasingly popular in contemporary design.
Best for:
Warehouses, showrooms, restaurants, and industrial buildings
Benefits:
- Low maintenance and long lifespan
- Eco-friendly and energy-efficient
- Reflects natural light for brighter interiors
- Resistant to moisture and heavy foot traffic
Rubber Flooring
Why it works:
Rubber flooring offers superior traction and shock absorption, making it a safe, durable option for spaces that experience constant movement—especially during busy summer months when slips and falls are more likely.
Best for:
Gyms, healthcare settings, schools, and daycares
Benefits:
- Excellent slip resistance, even when wet
- Comfortable underfoot for long hours
- Easy to clean and mold-resistant
- Holds up to heavy equipment and foot traffic
Porcelain Tile
Why it works:
Porcelain tile delivers strength, style, and easy maintenance. It’s resistant to heat and UV rays, so it won’t warp or fade in the summer sun. It’s also a great choice for entranceways and lobbies that face both indoor and outdoor traffic.
Best for:
Lobbies, restrooms, kitchens, and entryways
Benefits:
- Available in countless colors, textures, and styles
- Resists stains, moisture, and scratches
- Long-lasting and easy to replace individual tiles if damaged
- Excellent for areas that experience a mix of indoor/outdoor traffic

Why it works:
Epoxy is a seamless, non-porous flooring solution ideal for protecting concrete surfaces in high-traffic and industrial settings. Its strength and resistance to chemical spills, foot traffic, and summer humidity make it a smart investment for busy commercial environments.
Best for:
Warehouses, garages, commercial kitchens, and hospitals
Benefits:
- Tough and long-lasting
- Customizable with color flakes or patterns
- Resistant to stains, scratches, and moisture
