Material sourced through vendor partnerships

Our trusted vendor partnerships give you access to premium materials at competitive prices, plus guaranteed on-time delivery that keeps your project on schedule and budget.

01 / FLOORING

FLOORING

Getting the flooring specification right up front prevents early replacement and avoids the disruption of pulling occupied space out of service mid-lease. We source through established vendor relationships for better pricing and lead time reliability than clients typically negotiate on their own.

FLOORING CATEGORIES WE SPECIFY:
  • Carpet tile: modular, replaceable and available in high-performance solution-dyed fiber for heavy-traffic areas.

  •  Luxury vinyl tile (LVT): durable, waterproof and available in wood, stone and abstract patterns.

  • Commercial hardwood: engineered hardwood specified for commercial-rated installations and appropriate subfloors.

  • Hard-surface tile: porcelain, ceramic and natural stone for lobbies, restrooms and transition zones.

  • Specialty flooring: rubber, cork and resilient systems for fitness centers, labs and specialty spaces.

02 / WALL COVERINGS & PAINT

WALL COVERINGS & PAINT

Wall coverings and paint finishes set the tone of a commercial space and take significant daily abuse: scuffs, cleaning chemicals and contact at every occupied surface. TNT specifies commercial-grade wall coverings and paint systems with durability ratings, scrubbability and VOC compliance appropriate to each sector and use case.

WALL COVERINGS & PAINT INCLUDES:
  • Commercial wallcovering: Type I and Type II rated products for high-traffic and feature applications.

  • Paint systems: commercial-grade paints with appropriate sheen levels, washability and low-VOC compliance.

  • Architectural panels: wood, metal and laminate panels for feature walls, reception areas and branded environments.

  • Acoustic wall panels: sound-absorbing treatments for conference rooms, open offices and noisy common areas.

  • Glass and mirror wall treatments for light-expanding applications and branded design environments.

03 / TILE, STONE & COUNTERTOPS

TILE, STONE & COUNTERTOPS

Surface materials define the durability and visual quality of kitchens, restrooms, lobbies and common areas. TNT Commercial specifies tile, stone and countertop surfaces with appropriate slip resistance ratings, porosity classification and maintenance requirements for each space type.

SURFACES WE SPECIFY:
  • Porcelain and ceramic tile for floors, walls, wet areas and exterior applications.

  • Natural stone: marble, granite, quartzite and slate specified with appropriate sealing and maintenance requirements.

  • Quartz countertops: engineered stone for break rooms, reception desks and lab and healthcare surfaces.

04 / TEXTILES & UPHOLSTERY

TEXTILES & UPHOLSTERY

Commercial textiles take more abuse than residential fabrics – daily contact, cleaning chemicals, UV exposure and friction across thousands of use cycles. TNT Commercial specifies commercial-grade upholstery and textiles with appropriate double-rub counts, stain resistance ratings and cleanability specifications for each sector and application.

TEXTILES & UPHOLSTERY WE SPECIFY:
  • Seating upholstery: fabrics and vinyls specified by double-rub count and cleanability for commercial use intensity.

  • Panel fabrics for workstation systems, privacy screens and acoustic wall panels.

  • Drapery and window treatments with commercial-grade fire and flame ratings.

  • Healthcare-grade vinyl and antimicrobial fabrics for clinical, wellness and senior living environments.

  • Area rug specification for defined zones and branded lobby applications.

05 / HARDWARE & FIXTURE FINISHES

HARDWARE & FIXTURE FINISHES

TNT specifies hardware finish families that are consistent across a project and coordinated with the broader specification.

ADA-compliant hardware, accessibility fixtures and integrated access control trim are reviewed during the specification phase.

HARDWARE & FIXTURE FINISHES COVER:
  • Door hardware: handles, pulls, hinges and locksets in coordinated finish families.

  • Cabinet and casework hardware: pulls, knobs and edge banding in finish-matched selections.

  • Plumbing fixture finishes: faucets, drains and trim coordinated with the hardware palette.

  • Lighting fixture finish selection and coordination with door and plumbing hardware.

  • ADA-compliant fixtures, accessibility hardware and integrated access control trim.

06 / CEILING TREATMENTS

CEILING TREATMENTS

TNT Commercial specifies ceiling systems with acoustic performance ratings, maintenance access requirements and design intent all weighed alongside the material budget.

The ceiling is often the last material decision in a project and one of the most visible after occupancy. Specifying the right system early avoids costly coordination conflicts with mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-in later in the construction schedule.

CEILING TREATMENTS WE SPECIFY:
  • Acoustic ceiling tile (ACT): standard and specialty tiles with NRC ratings for open offices and conference rooms.

  • Exposed deck: painted or stained structural ceilings for industrial, creative and loft-style commercial environments.

  • Specialty suspended systems: ceiling clouds, baffles and linear systems for acoustic performance and visual interest.

  • Drywall and plaster ceiling systems for high-end lobbies, boardrooms and reception areas.

  • Wood and metal ceiling panels for hospitality, executive and branded commercial environments.

Our Process

Our Material Selection Process

01

Needs & Budget Assessment

Durability requirements, style direction and budget tier are confirmed before sourcing begins. We establish which categories are highest-priority and where flexibility exists.

02

Style Direction Review

We review the design intent, adjacencies and any brand standards to ensure all materials are sourced in the right direction from the start.

03

Material & Finish Sourcing

Established vendor partnerships secure quality materials at competitive pricing. Often better than clients can negotiate independently. Lead times are confirmed before selections are finalized.

04

Samples & Mockups

Physical samples are reviewed and approved before anything is ordered. You see the actual material before the purchase order goes out.

05

Final Selection & Documentation

Specifications are finalized and documented for procurement, with item numbers, finish codes, quantities and lead times confirmed and recorded.

06

Procurement & Delivery Coordination

Delivery is coordinated with the broader project timeline and handed off to the procurement team for ordering and logistics.
