How to Protect Business Floors From the Summer

It’s that time of the year again. The days are getting longer, the temperature is rising, and your floors are at risk. Summer brings many harmful elements to your business’s floors. Prepare for them in advance with professionals who have seen clients through many summer showers. 

What Can NDC Protect Against?

There are several issues that arise every summer for floors in various businesses throughout New Jersey and the New York Metro area. Here are just a few aspects of summer that NDC can protect business floors from.

Humid Environments

For those areas with humid summers, moisture buildup is a major concern. During this time, indoor humidity can increase up to as much as 90%. This is terrible for hardwood or laminate floors that expand and swell in the damp environment. This swelling leads to cupped or crowned floors. 

NDC recommends avoiding the usage of mops when cleaning in this situation since they will only make things worse. Instead, we provide quality cloth linens that excel at absorbing moisture and drying up humid floors. These linens should only be lightly dampened with cleaning products made for wood or laminate flooring. 

Intense Sunlight

As the days get longer and more intense, that also means that floors are more in danger of the negative effects of sunlight. One of the most common effects is fading that can discolor and severely weaken the integrity of hardwood floors. 

NDC provides an easy solution to this problem. Our mats are customizable and can fit in any imaginable corner where excess light shines on the floors. We tailor each to our clients’ exact specifications and can include whatever colors, patterns, or images may be desired on them. They keep the floors from fading and are an easy way to market your business. 

Messy Build Up

As the summer picks up, people spend more and more time outside. This means there is an increased likelihood of dirt, mud, dust, and other outdoor allergens building up on floors. This is also the time of year when dust storms from the Sahara cross over into the US East Coast. New York and New Jersey are not immune to these storms and increased dust means health concerns, increased maintenance costs, and productivity issues.

NDC designs its mats with tough, durable bristles that prevent these outside elements from tracking into your building. They can fit any entrance and have a long lifespan. We maintain that lifespan ourselves with our commercial laundry service. There, everything is cleaned and repaired to the extent that it can’t be distinguished from freshly purchased products.
