Commercial TileInstallation

Built for contractors, property managers and business owners

A commercial tile package usually succeeds or fails on timing. If your tile sub shows up before the slab is ready, or holds up the millwork behind them, the whole schedule pays for it. We price and plan these jobs the way a site super thinks: what has to be done first, who needs access when, and what date each area has to be handed over.

Send us the drawings and finish schedule and we will come back with an itemised quote, questions on anything unclear, and a straight answer on whether your dates are realistic.

Scheduling around an open business

Commercial tile work often happens in spaces that can’t simply close. A washroom refit in an occupied office can run one washroom at a time, so staff always have one available. Restaurants can have floors done across their closed days. Retail and lobbies can be split into phases, with dusty cutting and strong-smelling products kept to after hours. We agree on these rules up front, including hoarding, access and clean-up, so that tenants and customers aren’t surprised.

Coordination with other trades

Tile sits in the middle of the finishing sequence, so it depends on trades before and after. We confirm drain locations, in-wall blocking, backing board, door undercuts and floor heights with your team early, when a change is still cheap. If a substrate isn’t ready when we arrive, you will hear about it with photos before we set anything over it, and not after a failure.

Where the drawings call for a specific installation detail, including those from the Terrazzo Tile and Marble Association of Canada (TTMAC), we build to that detail and raise any conflicts we find.

Larger areas, planned by zone

Big floors bring problems that small rooms don’t have. New concrete has to dry enough before tile goes down, so moisture testing belongs on the schedule. Slab flatness needs checking across long runs, since large-format tile will telegraph any waves. Movement joints have to follow the structure and the layout. We also map out material staging, freight access and daily production by zone, which keeps lots and shade variations organized from one end of the job to the other.

Spaces we work in

Office and institutional washrooms, restaurant dining rooms and kitchens, retail floors, lobbies, corridors and amenity spaces across Mississauga and the surrounding region. For commercial kitchens, we usually look at quarry or textured porcelain with epoxy grout. For entrances and wet areas, we confirm the slip rating against the spec before ordering.
