"Standard Excelon Imperial Texture by Armstrong Flooring"

Popular in schools, grocery stores, and corporate offices, Imperial Texture offers a timeless look for under $2 per square foot. This glue-down vinyl floor tile is designed for commercial spaces but is also widely used in residential places, like basement game rooms, vintage garages, and old-fashioned diners and restaurants.

What Is VCT Flooring?

VCT stands for vinyl composition tile and by definition is made of recycled composite vinyl material that can withstand heavy static loads, is easy to clean, and is resistant to scratches and scuffs. This type of flooring is commonly used in high-foot-traffic areas and light industrial or commercial spaces. VCT flooring is also used in residential spaces such as garages, kitchens, or basements. Whether you have a small office space or a large retail store, commercial VCT flooring is a good option to consider for your floors.

VCT Sizes

Vinyl composite tiles come standard in 12" x 12" square tiles, and each box of vinyl tiles contains 45 square feet per box. There are hundreds of VCT tile colors can be installed in checkerboard, solid, or custom tile patterns. The Standard Excelon Imperial Texture can also be mixed with multi-color or rave tiles. Each vinyl tile has the same size and thickness, so installation is fairly easy, unless you need to lay the tiles at an angle or want a unique pattern that requires cuts.

VCT Costs

The average price for 12" x 12" VCT tile ranges from $1.50–$2 per square foot and $2.50–$4 for premium vinyl tiles in 12" x 24". Prices may vary depending on the brand and type of vinyl flooring.

Premium or luxury vinyl tiles are often more expensive because of how they’re made and their unique patterns. Slip-resistant tiles come with a special top surface that prevents slippage. This is great for flooring in spaces prone to wet messes, like in a kitchen or a grocery store, where customers or employees could slip and fall.

Anti-static vinyl tiles, or static dissipative tiles or SDT, are commonly used as flooring in electric-sensitive areas. VCT vinyl flooring is designed to reduce any potential static that could damage electronics. Static dissipative tile ranges from $5–$6 per square foot.

Why You Should Choose VCT for Your Commercial Location

Consider vinyl composition tile (VCT) flooring for your commercial space. This type of flooring is made from polyvinyl chloride pieces that are created into bigger sheets through the use of heat and pressure. Below are some excellent reasons why you should choose vinyl composition tile for your commercial location.

Can Be Installed Directly onto a Concrete Surface

Installing vinyl composition tile flooring is easy to do. Most commercial locations have a concrete floor at their base. Vinyl composition tile can be attached directly onto concrete using an adhesive, saving you time and money as you needn’t worry about adding padding between the concrete and the flooring. It also simplifies the installation process, cutting down labor costs, if any, significantly.

If your concrete has cracks or isn’t level, add a cement patch to the floor. This will help fill in all cracks and ensure your cement floor is level before installing your VCT flooring.

If installing over existing vinyl, wood, or other subfloor, prep the floor using a cement patch and fill cracks and level the floor to prevent cracking or dips in the tile after installation.

Easily Withstands Heavy Traffic

Many commercial locations have a lot of traffic each day. This includes both foot traffic and traffic from machinery, rolling carts, etc. Getting flooring that can withstand this traffic without becoming damaged quickly is vital for these types of spaces.

VCTs have a high resistance to abrasion and other types of impact damage. Damage to your flooring will be minimal, with zero need for constant replacement.

Multiple Design Options for Customization

Because vinyl composition tile flooring is made in a variety of colors and cuts, design options are virtually limitless. This is important for commercial locations that prefer a certain design or color scheme with their flooring to match their business’s overall design. They also get this customization without having to pay a great deal of money.

Masks Damage, Dirt, and Debris Well

VCT flooring hides scuffing and small damages well. These scuffs will blend in with the flooring and will be difficult to see, keeping it looking new and clean. Also, depending on the design you choose, VCT flooring will help you hide dirt and debris.

Overall, vinyl composite tile flooring is an excellent option for your commercial location because it can be directly installed onto any level surface without the need of a pad; it can easily withstand the heavy foot traffic that many commercial locations experience daily; it offers various patterns, colors, and designs that’s great for customization; and it’ll constantly look clean and new, especially when clean-up is immediate.

Application Ideas for VCT

VCT tiles, being only 1/8" thick and flexible prior to being installed, can be laid out onto your flooring to show your brand logo! Schools, sports teams, and corporations have used VCT to create near-exact color matches of their logos. With hundreds of colors to match almost any color theme, use vinyl composition tiles to easily design an entrance floor logo.

Classic or traditional garage flooring is generally comprised of black-and-white vinyl composition tiles. However, retro vinyl tiles have also been used as flooring in commercial settings, such as schools. Solid color vinyl floor tiles can be staggered to create a wide range of commercial vinyl floor tile pattern layouts.
