Flooring for Holiday Parks, Resorts and Holiday Rentals

Flooring for Holiday Parks, Resorts and Holiday Rentals

Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of life is a luxury no longer limited to the elite, and with more and more options for ‘holiday’s at home’ the UK, the British tourism industry is having something of a surge with more and more people choosing to stay in/visit the UK for their holidays. There are numerous and complicated reasons for this but one of the main reasons is purely that holiday resorts and parks have seriously upped their game in terms of what they offer in terms of facilities, entertainment, sports and leisure facilities as well as the variety and quality of accomodations.

A UK-wide holiday park and campsite sector economic report (wonderfully entitled ‘pitching the value’) published in February 2019, demonstrated the impact of the sector when it revealed that they cumulatively generate £9.3bn annually in visitor expenditure. As well as being a significant profit generator, holiday parks and campsites employ almost 200,000 full time employees annually, not including seasonal and part-time employees...it’s big business! You may be asking yourself why a flooring company is talking about holiday parks, resorts and holiday rentals? Well, simply put, with over 2.1 million visitors to centre parcs each year, upwards of 400,000 visitors to individual Butlins locations annually, and numbers exceeding 1.75 million visitors to Hoseasons sites around the UK, that’s a lot of footfall to accommodate!

Don’t worry though, this article looks at flooring solutions across the tourism industry and how you can create luxury without breaking the bank, as well as considering the best solutions for the many locations within holiday parks and resorts which require carefully thought-out flooring options. Furthermore, we will look at flooring for holiday rentals so whether you are looking for the best flooring for your holiday rental, holiday park accommodation, resort leisure facilities or behind the scenes locations such as staff rooms and offices, Hamilton Flooring is on hand to advise and inspire!

Communal Areas

Regardless of the type of accommodation you offer your guests, chances are there are communal areas to be considered - the exception here being holiday rentals perhaps! For holiday parks and resorts, the first chance you have to make an impression on your guests is in your reception space. Entrance matting plays a huge role in a reception space, not just from an aesthetic point-of-view but also from a practical standpoint. Though it may be true that entrance matting performs the role of allowing visitors to wipe the world off their feet before entering your reception space it is also a prime spot for promoting brand identity and establishing the feel of your holiday park. A welcoming reception area will not only get your guests in the right frame of mind for some fun and relaxation but a well designed and well kept floor will also set the standard for quality throughout the park or resort.

Offices and Staff spaces

Holiday parks and resorts required a dedicated team to run and manage the day to day goings-on and therefore suitable office space is something of an unseen requirement of holiday park and resort flooring solutions. With all the consideration and investment in beautiful and comfortable areas for your guests why not do the same for the business locations?

Office flooring, like many other aspects of office design, should reflect the brand and personality of your business. This may be achieved through specific colour palettes, design tropes or even custom bespoke flooring. This nod to the business brand may be more direct in areas such as reception spaces or boardrooms. Although branding may feed into breakout spaces such as individual offices and break rooms, the main considerations in these zones are likely to be ease of maintenance and durability.

In an open office space, carpet tile is the number one tool in the fight against excessive noise - which is the biggest barrier to productivity. Whether its an overload of keyboard clacking, frequent phone calls or the general noises of a working office, carpet tile absorbs more than three times more noise than a hardwood floor.

Office flooring needs to be ergonomic as well as stylish and vinyl is an effective combination of the two, with practical elements in their construction as well as a vast array of designs, colours and styles available.

Karndean is an ideal solution to provide a comfortable, home-like environment which is known to improve employee wellbeing. The beauty of Karndean flooring is the vast choice available across the ranges which include wood and stone effects in a variety of colour options and finishes.

Office Flooring: Creating a Great Work-Space, covers a multitude of options and considerations for office flooring which are all applicable to the behind-the-scenes spaces required at holiday parks, resorts and even hotels.

Whether you are looking for something simple and practical or a touch of luxury, Hamilton Flooring has the perfect flooring solution for your holiday park accommodation.

Carpet

Carpet can be a luxurious addition to any home and it is no different for holiday accommodation. Hamilton Flooring works with some of the best suppliers of carpet in the UK to provide excellent solutions for holiday home carpeting.

Its inexpensive nature also means that full changes are viable but more importantly, areas can be replaced if damage occurs. Perfect for hotel rooms, bedrooms in lodges, cabins and caravans, carpet tile is surprisingly durable and makes for a cosy yet luxurious feel.
