Where We Install Tile

  • Restaurants & cafes
  • Gas stations & convenience stores
  • Retail stores & malls
  • Office buildings
  • Medical offices & clinics
  • Schools & facilities
  • Commercial bathrooms & utility areas
If your building sees constant foot traffic, rolling carts, or exposure to spills and cleaning chemicals, we’ll design a tile system that can handle it.

Tile Materials We Install

  • Porcelain
  • Ceramic
  • Quarry
  • Commercial non-slip tile
  • Large-format commercial tiles
We focus on materials that are proven in commercial environments—not just residential showrooms. Every product we recommend is selected for performance, safety, and longevity.

Why Choose Wet-Lay Tile Systems?

  • Withstands heavy foot traffic
  • Long lifespan
  • Resistant to moisture & wear
  • Ideal for commercial kitchens and entry areas
  • Easy to maintain
  • Stronger than peel-and-stick or light-duty systems
Wet-lay (mortar-set) tile systems create a solid, stable floor that doesn’t shift, lift, or fail under commercial use when installed correctly. It’s the standard for serious, long-term tile installations.

Our Commercial Tile Installation Process

A proper commercial tile job is more than just setting tile in mortar. It’s a full system. Here’s how we approach it:

Step
1

Site Visit & Substrate Evaluation

We inspect the slab or subfloor, check for cracks, movement, moisture issues, and existing coatings or adhesives that may affect adhesion.

Step
2

Preparation & Leveling

We grind, clean, patch, or level the substrate as needed to meet tolerance requirements for commercial tile. Proper prep is critical to prevent cracking or hollow spots.

Step
3

Layout & Slope Planning

We plan the layout carefully—especially in restrooms, kitchens, or areas with drains—to ensure proper slopes, expansion joints, and clean, professional tile lines.

Step
4

Mortar-Set Tile Installation

We use commercial-grade mortar appropriate for your tile size, location, and use. Large-format tiles, high-moisture areas, and heavy-traffic zones are handled with the right setting materials and techniques.

Step
5

Grouting & Joint Treatment

We select grout type and color based on traffic, cleaning schedule, and slip requirements. In some environments, we recommend epoxy or high-performance grout.

Step
6

Cleaning, Sealing (If Needed) & Final Walkthrough

We leave the space clean, verify details with you or your GC, and walk the project to ensure everything meets the agreed scope and standard.

Applications Where Tile Really Shines

Commercial wet-lay tile is ideal for:

  • ✅ Back-of-house restaurant areas – grease, spills, and constant cleaning
  • ✅ Front-of-house floors – durable, attractive, and easy to clean
  • ✅ Restrooms & locker rooms – moisture-resistant and hygienic
  • ✅ Lobbies & corridors – professional look plus long-term durability
  • ✅ Retail & showroom spaces – handles carts, displays, and heavy use
If you’re tired of replacing worn vinyl, peeling tile, or cheap flooring systems, a mortar-set tile installation may be the upgrade your building needs.

Working Around Your Schedule

We understand many commercial spaces can’t shut down for long. Whenever possible, we:
  • Coordinate with your GC or facilities team
  • Work in phases to keep parts of the space open
  • Schedule around off-hours or slower days
  • Prioritize clean, organized jobsites to minimize disruption

Our goal is to deliver a long-lasting tile system without creating unnecessary chaos in your business.
