We offer cementitious overlays and resinous floor coatings for hotel main entrances and lobbies.
The hotel’s main entrance and lobby is the central access point and social heart of the property. It services as both a functional space for guest services and a visual showcase of the hotel’s brand identity. It ultimately is the first impression and central hub of guest interaction.
Flooring in these areas must balance aesthetic elegance with performance and safety. High-traffic conditions demand surfaces that resist scuffing, staining, and wear from rolling luggage and constant foot traffic. A seamless, resinous floor system delivers a refined, upscale look while offering exceptional durability and ease of maintenance.

Flooring Requirements:
High Durability
Main entrance & lobby flooring must withstand heavy foot traffic from rolling luggage, carts, and frequent movement. Scratch and scuff resistant surfaces should be prioritized to maintain appearance over time.
Slip Resistance
Floors must be safe under both dry and wet conditions, especially near entrances where moisture can be tracked in. Compliance with ADA and ASTM slip resistance standards is essential.
Aesthetic Appeal
The area should align with the hotel’s design theme—modern, classic, luxury, fun, etc. Material, colors, and pattern choices should support branding and ambiance.
Noise Control
Main entrance & lobby flooring should help absorb or dampen sound to maintain a quiet and welcoming environment. Options like resin with acoustic underlays or rubber-infused surfaces can assist with sound reduction.
UV & Fade Resistance
This requirement prevents discoloration and maintains a uniform look. It is especially important if the lobby has large windows or skylights.
Seamless Installation
It’s important to minimize grout lines or joints where dirt and moisture can collect or cause trip hazards. This helps with both cleanliness and aesthetics.
Fire & Smoke Compliance
Main entrance & lobby flooring materials must meet fire safety codes and create minimal smoke in case of emergency.
Sustainability
Many of our resinous systems offer low-VOC, LEED-compliant options, which may be preferred in eco-conscious hotels.
