Traffic and impact
Tile body, finish and installation system should match the expected traffic and loading.
Wet areas
Slip resistance and drainage need special attention where water, grease or cleaning liquids may be present.
Movement and substrate
Building movement and substrate conditions influence the complete tile assembly.
Repair planning
Individual tile replacement can be practical when spare material is retained and access is manageable.
Commercial flooring decisions depend on the actual substrate, moisture conditions, traffic, cleaning regime, accessibility requirements, fire/building rules, manufacturer instructions and local code. This site is for planning and comparison, not installation instructions.
