When it comes time to give your retail space a makeover, you will have a wide variety of flooring options to choose from. One option that you should consider having at the top of your possibilities list is vinyl composition tile (VCT) flooring. VCT flooring is made out of a combination of materials including PVC and limestone. These floors are growing in popularity in commercial applications due to its durability, affordability, and the fact that it is an eco-friendly flooring choice. If you are looking to replace the floors in your retail space, here are just a few of the primary reasons to choose vinyl composition tile. See VCT Tile Reviews   

VCT is Extremely Durable

One of the primary reasons vinyl composition tile floors are so popular in commercial and industrial applications is that these floors are extremely durable and are not easily damaged or worn down even in high-traffic areas. VCT flooring is extremely impact resistant and it stands up against spills and water damage. Armstrong VCT vinyl tile flooring is also UV resistant and will not easily fade. Thusly, not only are VCT floors an affordable option, but they are also a great investment in the future of your business. In fact, with the right maintenance, these floors can last 15-20 years or more.   

A Variety of Styles Are Available

Another factor to keep in mind when choosing flooring for a retail space is the aesthetic appeal of the flooring you choose. You will want to consider whether your floors create an inviting shopping environment for customers, as well as whether or not your floors work with your design scheme. Fortunately, there is no need to compromise on style and design when choosing a vinyl composition tile floor. These floors come in a variety of styles, designs, colors, and finishes, ensuring that you will be able to find a VCT floor that matches your style and personality.  

Noise Canceling

One of the main problems with other tile and flooring options is that they can be quite noisy when people walk on them or when items are moved across their surface. However, vinyl composite tiles do an excellent job at absorbing noise and at reducing the sound of feet walking across them. This makes vinyl composite tile flooring an excellent option for retail spaces as this flooring can help to greatly reduce the noise caused by foot traffic. As you are probably all too familiar with, retail shops can be loud enough as it is; do not add to the problem by choosing a noisy flooring material during your remodel. Choosing VCT flooring will help you to create a serene environment for customers.

They Are Slip Resistant

Unlike other types of industrial flooring, vinyl composition tile floors are resistant to water accrual. When exposed to water they do not expand, adding to their durability, and they do not become as slippery when wet as many types of flooring, making them a great option for retail spaces.

VCT is Eco-Friendly

Now more than ever businesses are growing concerned about the effect they are having on the environment and are looking for ways to make their businesses more "green". One way you can achieve this is to look for environmentally friendly building products during your remodel that are made from recycled materials and/or that can be easily recycled when you are done with them. Not only do VCT floors contain certain natural elements such as limestone, but also, these tiles are 100% recyclable and thus can be kept out of landfills should you go to remodel again down-the-road.  

While you will have many options to choose from when buying new flooring for your retail space, you will likely find that VCT floors provide the most benefits to your store. Contact us to learn more about vinyl composition tile floors and the benefits they can provide.
