Proper Floor Preparation for Commercial Flooring and Tile
Amherst Marble & Tile is a family owned commercial flooring and tile company based in Northeast Ohio. We provide floor surface preparation as a foundational part of our commercial flooring and tile installation services, including demolition and haulaway of existing flooring when needed. Proper surface prep is essential for tile, luxury vinyl, carpet tile, sheet vinyl, epoxy flooring, and other commercial flooring systems to perform correctly.

Preparing for Tile, Vinyl, and Specialty Flooring
How Surface Preparation Impacts Flooring Performance
Floor surface preparation is critical to the success of any flooring or tile installation. Uneven surfaces, residual adhesives, cracks, or moisture issues can compromise how flooring materials adhere and perform. Proper preparation helps prevent problems such as cracking, lifting, or premature wear.
In commercial and professional environments, flooring systems are subjected to daily use and regular cleaning. Amherst Marble & Tile ensures floor surface preparation is completed correctly so new flooring and tile installations perform as expected. By addressing surface conditions before installation begins, we help extend the lifespan of the finished floor and reduce future maintenance concerns.
