The floor takes more punishment than any other surface in a commercial building. Choosing the right one in Cambodia comes down to traffic, climate and budget. Here is how the main options compare, what the wear classes mean, and what each costs.
From office fit-outs to hotel corridors and retail, commercial flooring in Cambodia has to handle heavy foot traffic, high humidity and a tight install schedule. This guide covers the main types available in Phnom Penh, how to read the wear class that determines durability, indicative prices, and which floor suits which space.
The main types of commercial flooring
- SPC / vinyl flooring - rigid stone-plastic composite planks. Water-resistant, hard-wearing and quick to install. The go-to for offices, reception, F&B and retail.
- Carpet tile - modular 50x50cm tiles. Quiet, comfortable, and a damaged tile can be swapped without relaying the floor. Ideal for offices and meeting rooms.
- Broadloom carpet - wall-to-wall rolls. The hospitality standard for hotel corridors, guest rooms, ballrooms and casinos.
- Engineered wood flooring - a real timber veneer over a stable core. A warm, premium look for boutique offices, villas and retail.
- Area rugs - loose or custom rugs to zone a lobby, lounge or suite.
Wear class: the number that decides durability
Wear classes (EN 685) tell you how much traffic a floor can take before it shows. Specify by how the space is actually used.
| Wear class | Suited to |
|---|---|
| Class 31 - 32 | Light to general commercial - small offices, boutiques |
| Class 33 | Heavy commercial - busy offices, retail, F&B |
| Class 33+ / 34 | Very heavy - hotel corridors, casinos, airports |
