– Visible natural damage such as frayed carpet edges (if it is a carpet), scratches on vinyl, dirty grout lines that are not cleaned.
– Safety issues. Loose tile floors and warped wooden floors make the floor rough which results in unsafety.

– The expiry date of the floorings. Every flooring system has a certain lifetime from 5 years to 25 years. Hence, replacing the floor system before the expiry can prevent unexpected risks.
Should I re-install the same material — or change flooring systems?

– Less maintenance, thereby saving money
Hotels are a typical example. For many years, the hotel has been very fond of carpeting on the surface of the tile flooring.
