Commercial kitchens expose floors to rolling racks, dropped utensils, hot liquids, grease, food acids, detergents, and repeated washing. Quarry tile is an unglazed clay tile with a dense body and relatively simple surface. Textured options can provide useful traction, and the modular format allows individual tile replacement. The complete installation system is important. Substrate preparation, mortar, grout, movement joints, floor slope, drains, wall transitions, and waterproofing or crack-isolation components must be coordinated. Quarry tile is not maintenance-free or slip-proof. Grease and residue must be removed through an effective cleaning program, and grout selection should match the expected chemical exposure.
