Optical Shop Flooring &
Ceiling Design
Ceiling and flooring design often remains an afterthought in the optician shop fitting process. Nevertheless, both ceiling and flooring are crucial for creating attractive, safe and functional environments.
Improving the flooring and ceiling design of your optical shop or opticians will thus not only improve the look and feel of your space but also:
Ensure the safety and comfort of patients and practitioners
Flooring and ceiling design are critical when it comes to creating comfortable and safe spaces for practitioners and patients alike. Slip-resistant and hygienic flooring materials help reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls. At the same time, they help keep your practice clean and easy to sanitise.
Similarly, ceilings play a vital role in ensuring appropriate fire protection. Since commercial spaces often see high footfalls, maximising fire safety is a critical factor.
Improve acoustics
Opticians, optical shops or optometry offices are often subject to high footfall. Poor flooring and ceiling materials can reflect sound and contribute to poor acoustics inside. In turn, poor acoustic performance can decrease both patients’ and staffs’ comfort and negatively affect your practice. Carefully chosen flooring- and ceiling materials can nevertheless absorb sound and help soundproof your practice.
Improve the layout and navigation of the space
Both flooring finishes and the ceiling design can help define and separate various areas of your opticians. A careful combination of flooring materials and ceiling treatments allow designers to create strong points of focus. In turn, this can help guide people around the shop while also optimising traffic flow. Above all, it can help enhance the visibility of eyewear on display and increase sales.
Create a unique ambience and feel
The ceiling and flooring design can significantly influence people’s perception of your space. Both ceiling and flooring are vital in giving your space a unique ambience and creating mood inside. Similarly, the colours, materials and finishes you choose can influence people’s moods and emotions, but also their perception of your services and merchandise.
Stunning interiors
Last but not least, flooring and ceiling play a crucial role in creating the aesthetics of the space. Thus, both ceiling and flooring are integral to any interior design project, as they can significantly enhance the look and aesthetics of the space.
