Demanding Environments Require Durable Quarry Tile Flooring
In construction, it is always essential to use the right tools and materials for the job. It is no different when choosing the right floor covering for your situation. In commercial applications, many areas require special consideration beyond basic functionality.
In commercial spaces where there is constant foot traffic along with carts and equipment rolling through, the floor must be very durable to not show wear patterns after a few months or years of use. Areas with extremes in temperature and fluctuations such as under ovens, walk-in freezers or outdoors need a product that can handle these extremes. Many installations require a floor covering that will last, a durable floor that will resist impact and abrasion, and one that won’t need replacing every few years, stopping work. The floor might need to have a simple maintenance routine using neutral cleaners. The floor might also need to perform well in wet areas, humid areas and areas where spills can happen daily. Finally, the specifications might call for a floor that rates well for dynamic coefficient of friction as slip falls are always an issue and a slip resisting floor is imperative.
Metropolitan Ceramics tile meets all of the requirements described and is the suitable “tool/material” for each condition. Best of all, Metropolitan quarry tile products are the right choice for installations like commercial kitchens where all of the demands are present.
