Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) Flooring in Burnaby Supplying Greater Vancouver BC

Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is a finished flooring material used primarily in commercial and institutional applications.

Vinyl composition tiles are composed of colored vinyl chips formed into solid sheets of varying thicknesses (1/8” is most common) by heat and pressure and cut usually into 12” squares.

Vinyl Composition Tile Flooring Complete Overview
VC Tile Floor Vinyl composition tiles are applied to a smooth, levelled sub-floor using a specially formulated vinyl adhesive.

Vinyl composition tiles are typically waxed and buffed using special materials and equipment.

Vinyl composition tiles are favoured over other kinds of flooring materials in high-traffic areas because of its low cost, durability, and ease of maintenance.

Vinyl composition tiles have high resilience to abrasion and impact damage and can be repeatedly refinished with chemical strippers and mechanical buffing equipment.

Vinyl composition tiles can be removed and replaced when damaged.

Vinyl composition tiles are available in a variety of colors from several major flooring manufacturers. Vinyl composition tiles can be cut and assembled into colourful and decorative patterns.

Maintenance of Vinyl Composition Tile Flooring

Daily/Regular Maintenance

  • Sweep, dust mop or vacuum daily to remove dirt, grit and soil that can damage the floor and become ground into the surface.
  • Use walk-off mats that are as wide as the doorway and long enough to trap dirt and moisture before traffic reaches the resilient floor.
  • Remember to clean walk-off mats regularly.
  • Damp mopping of the floor should be performed on a regular or daily basis depending upon traffic and soil levels in the building. Use a properly diluted neutral detergent solution such as Armstrong S-485 Commercial Floor Cleaner.

Period Maintenance

  1. When needed, scrub the floor with a properly diluted neutral detergent solution such as Armstrong S-485 Commercial Floor Cleaner using a single disc (300 rpm or less) or automatic floor machine and the appropriate scrubbing pad (red for light scrub, blue/green for a deep scrub) or equivalent brushes.
  2. If using a single disc floor machine, remove dirty cleaning solution with a wet vacuum or mop.
  3. Thoroughly rinse the entire floor with fresh, clean water and allow it to dry completely.
  4. If there is sufficient (3 to 5 coats) polish remaining on the floor, buff, spray buff or burnish to restore gloss.
  5. If needed, additional coats of floor polish may be applied at this time.
