# Commercial Tiling: A Guide for Sydney Business Owners

Commercial tiling projects require careful planning and expertise. Here's what Sydney business owners should know before starting their project.

## Commercial vs Residential Tiling

Commercial projects differ significantly:
- Higher foot traffic demands
- Strict Australian building codes
- Accessibility requirements
- Faster installation timelines
- Different material specifications

## Choosing Commercial Grade Tiles

### Durability Requirements
Commercial tiles must meet Australian standards for:
- Slip resistance (P4/P5 ratings for wet areas)
- Traffic ratings (suitable for commercial use)
- Chemical resistance
- Stain resistance

### Popular Commercial Tile Types
- Porcelain: Extremely durable, low maintenance
- Ceramic: Cost-effective for medium traffic areas
- Natural stone: Premium look for corporate spaces
- Vinyl: Flexible option for specific applications

## Sydney Building Regulations

Compliance with Australian standards is mandatory:
- AS 3958 for tile installation
- Waterproofing requirements
- Accessibility standards (AS 1428)
- Fire resistance ratings

## Project Planning

### Timeline Considerations
- After-hours installation to minimize disruption
- Staged completion for operating businesses
- Quick curing materials for faster reopening

### Budget Factors
- Material costs
- Labour and installation
- Preparation work
- Compliance testing

## High-Traffic Areas
