Commercial Tile on the I-35 Corridor
Selma's commercial development along I-35 means we handle a different kind of project mix here compared to purely residential areas. Restaurant floors, retail entries, and office common areas require tile that meets higher traffic and slip-resistance standards. We bring the same approach to commercial work in Selma as we do to residential: assess the substrate, plan the layout, use appropriate materials, and finish clean.
Selma Tile FAQ
Do commercial tile projects in Selma require permits?
Commercial tile work in an existing space typically does not require a permit if it is cosmetic replacement. New construction or renovation that changes the use of a space may require a permit from the City of Selma or Bexar County, depending on which jurisdiction applies to the specific address. We can help identify the right contact during the planning phase.
Can you work around a retail business's operating hours?
Yes. For commercial projects where the business needs to remain open, we can stage the work in sections or schedule installation during off-hours. This requires more planning and sometimes extends the overall project timeline, but it is a workable approach for many retail and restaurant situations. We discuss scheduling constraints upfront so we can build a realistic plan.
What tile is appropriate for a restaurant kitchen floor in Selma?
Restaurant kitchen floors need a wet DCOF rating of at least 0.42 and ideally higher given the grease and water exposure. Unglazed quarry tile and textured porcelain are common choices. Epoxy grout is standard because it resists the cleaning chemicals used in commercial kitchens. We can walk you through specific product options during a site visit.
