At Articon Hotel Services, we help hotels across the United States design and furnish their properties with beautiful, long-lasting furniture. Through decades of experience outfitting hotels, we’ve learned how to select pieces that withstand constant use from the high foot traffic in hospitality settings.
“ Follow our tips to choose commercial-grade furnishings for your hotel built to endure years of heavy use: “
Trust us when we say you’ll want to avoid delicate silks or chenilles. Though beautiful, they show wear quickly. Look for tightly woven cotton, linen, wool blends, or microfiber upholstery grade fabrics resistant to stains and daily use. Leather (even Faux) is also a smart hotel choice.
Solid oak, maple, ash and beech support heavy loads and resist scratches better than soft woods. Over decades, the natural patina of quality hardwoods just adds more charm. We advise proprietary hardwoods like Pecky Cypress as well for unique, durable look.
Traditional joinery is a must for frame durability. Mortise and tenon, dowel, dado and dovetail joints withstand years of use far better than staples or glue. We inspect all joinery on furniture orders to ensure sturdy craftsmanship.
High-density polyurethane or latex foams retain shape and support. We recommend densities above 2.0 lbs/cu ft and reinforced corner blocking. With quality cushioning, pieces feel as comfortable after years of use as they did on day one.
It can be tempting to furnish many rooms quickly at lower costs. But replacement costs down the road make this a false economy. We counsel investing in fewer higher-end pieces that endure over quick bulk orders. It saves you headaches and expense long-term.
