VCT is a 12” X 12” X 1/8'' thick vinyl composite tile used mainly in grocery stores and big box stores. But VCT is a great option for residential use in laundry rooms, craft rooms, playrooms, storage rooms, food storage rooms etc. because it is durable and easy to clean.
You can buff it like the stores do to make it shine or keep it the original matte finish. Just damp mop with a properly diluted neutral detergent solution. I like this product because it comes in a wide variety of colors and allows you the option of a fun checker pattern or any pattern you desire using 12 X 12 tiles. The tiles do come 45 to the box and are usually sold in full boxes. I have seen clients get really excited when they realize this as an option that allows them to spruce up or have fun with an area without great expense. Material and labor are relatively inexpensive, but you need to check with a flooring contractor since this is more of a commercial product, not all retailers offer VCT. If you are a do-it-yourself person, you'll find it easy to install. Simply square out your room, make sure it is balanced with a 12"x12" product, make sure the floor is smooth and you are ready to glue.
There are several manufactures of VCT: Armstrong, Mannington, Azrock, Tarkett, Congoleum, and many more. Start your search by looking for a qualified commercial flooring contractor. Don't worry you’re not a small job anymore. Everyone wants work and you will be surprised who is willing to help. Have fun designing your floor.
