ENHANCING THE RESIDENT EXPERIENCE
MULTIFAMILY
From first impressions to everyday experiences, each area within a multifamily community has unique requirements. Explore common spaces and the considerations that help support resident satisfaction and long-term value.
COMMON AREAS
FLOORING FOR SPACES THAT SHAPE THE RESIDENT EXPERIENCE
Multifamily communities are made up of a variety of shared spaces that shape the resident experience every day. From lobbies and leasing offices to corridors, fitness centers, and amenity spaces, each area serves a different purpose and requires a unique approach to flooring. Understanding those needs can help create environments that are welcoming, durable, and designed to support long-term value.

MULTIFAMILY Flooring FAQs
Impact noise (footsteps) is the #1 multifamily complaint, measured by IIC. Attached-pad luxury vinyl is built for exactly this- an integrated acoustical backing softens impact and quiets units, and our Sound Advisor™ tool lets you hear the difference before you spec.
Yes- luxury vinyl is the value play for high-turn units. Because commercial-grade LVP is modular, you replace only the damaged planks at turn instead of re-flooring the whole unit, which lowers lifetime cost while keeping units rent-ready and looking new.
Multifamily works best with luxury vinyl in units and durable carpet tile in common areas. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and tile (LVT) survive tenant wear and unit turns; carpet tile hides traffic in corridors and amenity spaces; and Indoor/Outdoor/Turf covers courtyards and pet areas.
The trend is residential warmth at commercial durability. Stone or wood-look luxury vinyl in natural tones- plus coordinated palettes that carry a cohesive look from units into amenity spaces. Attached-pad acoustic LVP is also rising fast as noise complaints drive spec decisions, and sustainable, Cradle to Cradle Certified® soft surface increasingly shows up in amenity areas.
Look for slip resistance, easy cleanability, and a warm, residential feel that avoids a clinical look. A luxury vinyl plank (LVP) such as Indwell II checks those boxes, with soft-surface options in shared corridors for comfort and quiet.
