Vinyl tile is one of the best values in flooring.

Install Anywhere in the Home
Can be installed in any room, including bathrooms. Can be installed on all levels including below grade.

Wide Variety of Designs, Sizes and Shapes
A wide variety of designs ranging from natural materials to original patterns in 12" x 12", large formats and planks. Vinyl has the look of wood, stone or ceramic tile at a lower price point.

Low Maintenance

Considerations

Lower Life Expectancy
Vinyl tile will not last as long as hardwood, ceramic tile or linoleum.

Seams That Can Accumulate Dirt and Moisture
Water can seep into tile seams. This can create maintenance, adhesive bonding and subfloor issues.

Gouging and Tearing
Resilient, vinyl tile is easier to gouge and tear than ceramic tile. In higher traffic areas, be sure to install thicker vinyl tile for better performance.

Does Not Increase Home's Value
Vinyl tile is less likely than natural flooring products to enhance the monetary value of your home.
