The summer is coming up and, as the days increase, the world gets hotter and hotter. Although you may be looking forward to endless days of sun while you are at work, you might be apprehensive about the possible air conditioning and cooling bills that will come in the mail come September. There is no need to be. Changing your office flooring may be the answer. In addition, you most likely do not in a place like the Middle East where stone flooring is common.

Being healthy is a broad concept. There are many different ideas that people float around regarding what “healthy” is. For some people, this means health of mind. Other people believe you need to train in yoga to be healthy. However, health should be understood as an overall objective, which can be impacted by many different decisions you make throughout your life.

From deciding which food to eat in the food court – to deciding whether to walk or drive to work, to deciding to sleep at a reasonable hour. All of these decisions, and others, impact our [...]

One of the main reasons why people install residential carpeting in their homes or commercial carpeting in their offices is due to the durability that carpeting offers.

The danger does not just occur outside, it can also occur in your home. Your home, often thought of as a safe space, should continue to be, regardless of the seasonal weather outside. Many people restrict their traveling during the winter, or they take extra measures to accommodate their travels. They may take taxis, ride the subway, or drive more during the winter, in order to avoid slipping and falling on the sidewalk. If you go out walking during the winter, you can track slippery mud and water from your shoes or boots in [...]

New Year’s resolutions are pretty common. We all make them. Most resolutions are personal. However, making resolutions regarding inanimate objects and places can also be a productive way in order to set up your year for success. Choosing a safer, most exuberant, form of office flooring can be a great way to make your commercial carpeting work for you.
