Commercial Flooring: Built Different

Residential flooring can't handle business traffic. Period. Commercial flooring is engineered tougher - thicker wear layers, stronger seams, better slip resistance. It's built for the real world of business.

**What we do:** We connect Ottawa business owners with proven commercial flooring contractors. These are pros who've done offices, retail stores, restaurants, medical clinics, and warehouses. They understand codes, traffic patterns, and most importantly - they work around YOUR schedule.

**What you get:** Flooring that lasts. Installation that minimizes downtime. Clear commercial-grade warranties. No surprise upcharges.

Here's how our commercial service works:

1. **Tell us about your business** - Type of space, traffic levels, special requirements (slip resistance, waterproof, etc.)

2. **We match you with 3 commercial contractors** - Licensed, insured, and experienced with your type of business

3. **They visit for free on-site measurements** - Assess subfloor, discuss timeline, provide detailed commercial quote

4. **Choose the contractor you trust most** - Simple decision, no sales pressure

These are independent commercial flooring companies. You pay them directly. We charge them a small fee for the connection.

Tough floors. Professional installation. Back to business.

Why Commercial Flooring Decisions Stress Business Owners

You need to keep your business running. Flooring feels like a huge disruption.

🏢

Worn Floors Look Unprofessional

Customers notice. Worn paths. Scuffed tiles. Faded areas. Your floors are sending a message you don't want to send. But replacing them during business hours means lost revenue.
⏰

Can't Afford Downtime

You can't just close for a week. Every hour your business is disrupted costs money. Most flooring companies work 9-5, which is exactly when you're busiest.
⚖️

Code Compliance Worries

Slip resistance. Fire ratings. Accessibility. Commercial spaces have rules. Pick the wrong flooring and you could fail inspection or worse - create safety issues.
💰

Budget vs. Durability

Cheaper flooring costs less now but wears out fast. High-end lasts longer but stretches your budget. Hard to know the right balance for YOUR business.

Commercial Flooring Questions Answered

What Ottawa business owners need to know

Commercial costs vary widely by product. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) $4-$8/sq ft installed. VCT $3-$5/sq ft. Commercial carpet tile $5-$10/sq ft. Epoxy $5-$12/sq ft. Polished concrete $6-$15/sq ft. Get 3 quotes with exact specs for your space.

Depends on size and product. Small retail store 2-3 days. Restaurant 3-5 days. Office floor 5-7 days. Many installers work nights/weekends to minimize business disruption. They'll give you exact timeline in quote.

Yes, but most businesses prefer after-hours. Many commercial installers offer evening, night, and weekend installation. Some areas can be sectioned off. Ask contractors about their disruption-minimization approach.

Polished concrete and epoxy are toughest - handle heavy equipment, warehouses. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is excellent for retail/offices - waterproof, scratch resistant. VCT is budget-friendly commercial standard. Carpet tile good for offices - easy to replace individual tiles.

Kitchens need slip-resistant, waterproof, grease-resistant. Quarry tile, specified porcelain, or epoxy with grit. Dining areas can use LVT or polished concrete - looks great, easy clean. Installers know restaurant-specific requirements.

Healthcare needs seamless or tightly sealed floors for infection control. Sheet vinyl, LVT with welded seams, or epoxy. Must meet health regulations. Commercial installers understand medical requirements.

Usually yes, but contractors can help plan. Some move office furniture for you. Heavy equipment may need specialists. Discuss in quotes so you know exactly what's included.

LVT is popular - looks like wood/stone but handles traffic. Polished concrete for modern look. Carpet tile for soft feel. High-traffic paths need durable wear layers. Installers recommend based on your specific retail type.

Each product has specific needs. VCT needs stripping/waxing. LVT needs damp mopping. Carpet tile needs regular vacuuming. Installers provide maintenance plans. Some offer ongoing service contracts.

Product warranties 5-15 years depending on traffic rating. Installation warranties 1-5 years. Commercial warranties differ from residential - get everything in writing. Ask about wear layer warranty for LVT.

Yes. Carpet tile absorbs sound best. Acoustic underlayments available for hard surfaces. Important for open offices, conference rooms. Tell contractors about noise concerns.

Commercial LVT has thicker wear layers (20-28 mil vs 12-20 mil). Stronger adhesives. Better warranties. Costs more upfront but lasts years longer under traffic. Worth it for business.
