If you manage a retail store, office building, or commercial property in Lebanon and the flooring is cracked, stained, or outdated, tile installation provides a long-lasting surface that handles foot traffic and daily wear without breaking down.

What commercial tile installation involves from start to finish

The installation process in Lebanon begins with removing old flooring, inspecting the subfloor for damage or unevenness, and applying a leveling compound if necessary. Milanese Tile and Stone LLC uses a laser level to ensure the tile sits flat across large areas, which prevents lippage and tripping hazards. The tile is set in thin-set mortar, and joints are filled with commercial-grade grout that resists staining and cracking.

Once the installation is complete, you will notice straight grout lines, smooth transitions at doorways and thresholds, and a surface that feels solid underfoot. The tile does not flex or shift under carts, foot traffic, or furniture, and the grout stays intact even in high-use areas. The floor is ready for normal use within 24 to 48 hours depending on the type of mortar and grout used.

Material selection depends on the type of business and the expected traffic volume. Porcelain tile is often used for its durability and low water absorption, while natural stone provides a more polished appearance for lobbies and showrooms. The installation includes sealing grout lines to reduce staining and coordinating with other trades to keep electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work on schedule.

Questions business owners ask before installation begins

Most business owners want to know how long the installation will take, whether the space can remain open during the work, and what maintenance will be required after the tile is in place.

How long does commercial tile installation take?
The timeline depends on the size of the space and the complexity of the layout, but most commercial projects in Lebanon are completed within one to two weeks. Milanese Tile and Stone LLC schedules the work to avoid peak business hours whenever possible.
Can my business stay open during installation?
In some cases, the work can be done in sections so that part of the space remains accessible, but this depends on the layout and the scope of the project. You will need to plan for limited access during demolition and curing periods.
What type of tile is best for high foot traffic?
Porcelain tile is the most common choice for commercial spaces because it is dense, scratch-resistant, and rated for heavy use. Natural stone can also be used, but it requires sealing and more frequent maintenance to keep it looking clean.
How do I maintain commercial tile after installation?
You maintain the tile by sweeping or dust mopping daily and mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner as needed. The grout should be resealed every one to two years depending on the traffic level and the type of sealer used.
Will the tile installation disrupt my customers or tenants?
The installation does create noise and dust, but Milanese Tile and Stone LLC uses dust containment methods and schedules noisy work during off-hours to reduce the impact on your business operations in Lebanon.
