Most commercial floors don't fail because the product was bad.

They fail because the product was wrong for the place, the slab was never tested, the installer was rushed, or nobody planned how the floor would be cleaned. The Flooring Architect: The Commercial Flooring Guide by David P. Reichwein is the field manual for the people who pay for commercial floors and live with the result: property and facility managers, owners, developers, contractors, and the boards of churches, schools and nonprofits.
