Different zones
Dining rooms, kitchens, bars, washrooms and receiving areas can need different flooring systems.
Slip and cleaning
Wet or greasy conditions require careful product and maintenance planning under applicable workplace and building requirements.
Coving and transitions
Cleanability and edge detailing can be important in food-service areas.
Downtime
Floor replacement may need phased work because shutting the entire business can be costly.
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.
