Question 5

Do porcelain tiles crack easily?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain tiles have high breaking and compressive strengths, as required in ASTM testing. This tells us is that, in conjunction with a proper Tile Council of America type installation, this product is highly resistant to cracking. In summary, when the installation bed supports the tile properly, all should be well. This will hold true in both commercial and residential applications.

Question 6

What flooring do you put in a commercial kitchen floor?

Accepted Answer

The best flooring for a commercial kitchen is the one that meets a client’s requirements for both slip and stain resistance, has overall ease of maintenance, is hygienic, and has a generally clean, acceptable appearance. Porcelain tiles are typically impervious to even the most aggressive staining agents found in the kitchen environment. The wide range of colors and styles also assure a satisfying and durable appearance.

Question 7

What do you put on commercial kitchen walls?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain tiles are a superb choice. As discussed elsewhere in this series of FAQs, the kitchen environment demands ease of maintenance, hygienic functionality, and at least some level of visual appeal. This type of tile is vitreous — meaning it has almost no water absorption — which contributes to easy cleaning and high levels of hygiene. The wide selection of colors, patterns, and styles assure the aesthetics.

Question 8

Factors to consider for commercial tile flooring:

Accepted Answer

Commercial floors have a series of basic technical requirements. They need to be relatively easy to maintain; cannot be slippery, especially when exposed to potentially wet feet; must be durable; and must be relatively simple to install. Porcelain tiles have low water absorption for easy cleaning, have a high coefficient of friction for slip resistance, and the installation steps are well known. A perfect match.
