Commercial Tiling

Commercial tiling options balance high durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal, including porcelain, ceramic, quarry, and natural stone. Dense, full-body porcelain is preferred for heavy commercial use as it is less porous and more resistant to abrasion. Quarry tiles are unglazed, extremely hard, and naturally slip-resistant, ideal for commercial kitchens. Tiler Mangawhai helps select tiles with a PEI rating of four or five for high-traffic areas to ensure longevity.

Installing commercial tiling requires meticulous planning, durable materials, and adherence to high-performance installation standards. Durable solutions for commercial tiling withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining their appearance over years of use. Expertise in handling high-traffic areas is essential for commercial tiling services to meet safety requirements. Tiler Mangawhai understands that commercial spaces require specialized installation techniques including proper substrate preparation and expansion joints.

Slip resistance is critical for safety in areas that may get wet, with a recommended DCOF of zero point four two or higher. Use tiles with a Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) or Pendulum Test Value of thirty-six or higher for high-risk areas like entrances and restrooms. Tiler Mangawhai ensures all commercial tile installations meet appropriate safety standards for your specific application. Quarry tiles provide natural slip resistance making them ideal for commercial kitchens and wet areas.

Industrial-grade epoxy grout is required in high-traffic and hygienic areas due to its resistance to chemicals, stains, and heat. Grout choice is important; epoxy grout is best for commercial kitchens and bathrooms because it is non-porous and stain-resistant. Tiler Mangawhai uses professional-grade adhesive and epoxy grout suitable for the specific tile type and substrate. Include expansion or movement joints to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction in large commercial spaces.

The substrate must be structurally sound, dry, and free of dust, grease, oil, or existing adhesive residues before installation. Use a self-leveling compound to ensure the floor is completely flat with minimal variation for proper tile adhesion. Conduct moisture tests on concrete slabs to prevent adhesive failure and mold in commercial environments. Tiler Mangawhai ensures meticulous surface preparation including waterproof, crack-isolation membranes in wet areas before tiling begins.

Prohibit foot traffic for at least twenty-four hours and heavy furniture for at least seventy-two hours after tile installation. Allow tiles to acclimate to the environment’s temperature and humidity for at least forty-eight hours before installation. Use non-staining paper or plywood to protect the new floor if other construction work continues during curing. Tiler Mangawhai schedules installations to minimize business disruption while ensuring proper curing times are respected.

Salt air exposure demands careful selection of adhesives, grouts, and sealants that can withstand corrosive marine conditions. Mangawhai’s coastal environment requires enhanced waterproofing systems and proper substrate preparation for commercial installations. Temperature fluctuations between seasons affect substrate movement, making flexible installation methods essential for preventing cracking. Tiler Mangawhai provides comprehensive waterproofing materials and techniques important for commercial tiling in coastal areas.
