VTC Tiles

Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is a finished flooring material used mainly in commercial and institutional applications. Modern vinyl floor tiles and sheet flooring and versions of those products are composed of different colors of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chips molded into solid sheets of varying thicknesses (1/8" is most common) by heat and pressure (extrusion).

Units of floor tiles are cut into modular shapes such 12" x 12" squares or 12" x 24" rectangles.

In installation processes the floor tiles or sheet flooring are applied to a smooth, solid leveled sub-floor using a specially formulated vinyl adhesive or tile mastic that remains pliable. In commercial applications some tiles are typically waxed and buffed using special materials and equipment.

Modern vinyl floor tile is frequently chosen for high-traffic areas because of its low cost, durability, and ease of maintenance. Vinyl tiles have high resilience to abrasion and impact damage and can be easily  refinished with chemical strippers and mechanical buffing equipment. If properly installed, tiles can be easily removed and replaced when damaged.
