Commercial flooring installation requires specialized knowledge of building codes, ADA compliance, and heavy-duty materials designed for business environments. Unlike residential projects, commercial installations must meet specific fire ratings, slip resistance standards, and durability requirements.
The installation process is more complex, often involving coordination with other trades, working around business operations, and meeting tight deadlines. Commercial-grade materials like sheet vinyl, carpet tiles, and specialized adhesives require different tools and techniques than residential products.
Professional commercial installers also understand the importance of minimizing business disruption, proper ventilation during installation, and ensuring surfaces can handle equipment loads like filing cabinets, display fixtures, and heavy machinery that residential floors never encounter.
