Rules and safety
Floors in wet or greasy areas need tiles with a suitable slip resistance, which is measured with a pendulum test. Commercial tiling is normally installed to the British Standard code of practice, BS 5385, including movement joints. Old floor tiles and adhesives in buildings from before 2000 can contain asbestos, so check the survey before anything is lifted.

Questions
Commercial tiling: common questions
Can you tile over existing tiles?
Sometimes, if they are firmly bonded and the extra height is not a problem. Most tilers want to check first.
What slip rating do I need?
It depends on the area. Kitchens, wet areas and entrances need more slip resistance than offices. Ask the tiler for the tested rating.
How long before we can walk on it?
Usually within a day, depending on the adhesive and grout. Rapid-set products can be quicker.
