Can American Olean tile be used in commercial buildings?
Many American Olean products are rated for commercial applications, but traffic, wet conditions, rolling loads, chemicals, and maintenance must be matched to the individual tile.
Commercial suitability can vary from light-use walls to demanding floor applications.
The product's abrasion class, breaking strength, water absorption, traction, and chemical resistance should be reviewed.
Installation materials, movement joints, floor flatness, and maintenance procedures are equally important to long-term performance.
