Front of house
Appearance and easy cleaning are highly visible to customers.
Fixtures
Store fixtures may be installed before or after flooring depending on design and replacement strategy.
Entrances
Grit and moisture can create concentrated wear near doors.
Schedule
Mall rules, loading access and overnight work can have more budget impact than material price alone.
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.
