With the pandemic slowly becoming outdated, the commercial business has changed. As a result, renovation trends are taking a new direction when looking at commercial remodeling Calgary services. Therefore, if you want to upgrade your retail space to make it safer, we have some interesting trends that might inspire you.

Touchless is the New Thing

Over the past year, more businesses have been moving toward touchless technology. Touchless creates a safer and cleaner environment at the checkout or in the bathroom. The technology is also slowly moving into other sections of a building.

For example, you find it at elevators and doors to the coffee maker in the office. Yes, it might seem expensive to incorporate into your commercial remodeling, but the demand for it has increased. A touchless environment also reduces the maintenance in your building with the proper safety measures.

Add a Collaborate Space to Your Renovation

In an office space, adding a collaborative space increases your employee connection and culture. You can create your space into elaborate conference gathering places. Instead of your traditional office layout, you can add more conference rooms instead. You can have individual workstations by removing the cubicles and scattering your privacy booths around your workspace.

Invest in an HVAC System

Yes, fresh air is essential to improve indoor quality and help keep the environment clean. In addition, having your current HVAC evaluated and upgraded promotes health and wellness for all occupants in the building, adding better air circulation with filtration.

Using Safer Materials

The move towards investing in a material that eliminates germs in your high-traffic areas is becoming part of the commercial remodeling of Calgary services. Viruses can survive up to three days on stainless steel and plastic surfaces.

Therefore, many commercial buildings are moving towards installing brass, bronze, or copper as the germ lifespan is only four hours. On the other hand, cork is another material looked at with loads of antibacterial properties.

People are installing hard flooring instead of carpets with antibacterial properties to create seamless surfaces. The furniture is becoming limited to provide everyone with a safe work and shop environment. This new simple design helps promote a new aesthetic pleasing design with clean lines and cleanliness in mind.

Opening up The Workspace

We touched a bit on collaborative space that goes hand in hand with opening offices to use as coworking spaces. The days of business operating out of a single place or even an entire area is outnumbered. Most small startup businesses are not interested in long-term rentals. They prefer flexible leases working in coworking or shared office space. The demand is growing and is becoming one of the biggest shifts in the property industry.
