Question 1

What tile is required for a commercial restaurant bathroom floor?

Accepted Answer

Commercial restaurant bathroom floors must use slip-resistant tile with a wet coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.6 or higher per ADA and OSHA guidelines. We select tiles that meet these requirements while still looking clean and professional. Matte-finish porcelain in a smaller format (12×12 or mosaic) is the most common choice.

Question 2

What is epoxy grout and why is it required for restaurant bathrooms?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy grout is a non-porous, chemical-resistant grout that doesn't absorb bacteria, mold, or staining agents. Unlike cement grout, it doesn't require sealing and can be cleaned with commercial disinfectants without degrading. Health codes in many Texas jurisdictions effectively require epoxy grout in commercial food service bathrooms.

Question 3

How long does a commercial bathroom remodel take?

Accepted Answer

A standard commercial bathroom remodel (demo through final tile and grout) typically takes 3–7 business days. We can schedule work during off-hours or weekends to minimize your closure time. We'll give you a precise timeline during the bidding process.

Question 4

Do you handle ADA compliance for commercial bathrooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're familiar with ADA requirements for commercial bathrooms including turning radius, grab bar blocking, floor slope for drainage, and threshold heights. We'll flag any compliance issues during the assessment and ensure the finished installation meets code.

Question 5

Can you remodel a restaurant bathroom without closing for a week?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. We plan the work to minimize closure time and can often complete the project over a weekend or in two to three nights of after-hours work. We'll discuss your operational constraints during the bidding process.
