Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT)

As a business looking for a durable or scratch resistant surface, you may get confused at some industry terms. It's really not as complicated as it sounds. One good option you should strongly consider first is resilient vinyl tile, also known as vinyl composition tile or VCT flooring.

With this flooring option, you get a mixture of limestone, a thermoplastic binder, fillers, and pigments for a highly durable floor. Using colored vinyl chips, you'll find these as solid sheets made at various thickness levels. The most common way you'll find these sold are in square shapes with plenty of customized choices on size.

Some installations require floor polish after installation to give it a smooth, shiny finish. Don't let that scare you, as VCT is a reasonably easy flooring to install. It's also very affordable with excellent durability.

Our Standard Excelon Imperial Texture is now our #1 VCT tile flooring collection here at Floor City. It's no secret why considering the customization in colors. You can choose either modern or vintage colors to suit your business's brand.

You'll find this flooring excellent for retail stores or garage floors.

We define VCT as a commercial vinyl flooring material used in both general applications and your home. VCT in recent years has become more prevalent in residential homes, specifically used in basements and garages because of its durability.

Looking for Mannington VCT?

Mannington VCT Tile

As of June 16th, 2017, Mannington no longer offers or manufactures VCT flooring and has sold their manufacturing mill to Armstrong Commercial Flooring. Mannington has decided to focus on luxury vinyl tile flooring instead of vinyl composition tile. Although the LVT flooring cost is significantly more than VCT if you can afford luxury vinyl floors, it is easier to maintain and even more long-lasting than vinyl composite tile. Again, it's nearly 2 to 4 times the cost of standard vinyl floor tiles.
