Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) Flooring

The workhorse of commercial flooring — durable, affordable and endlessly maintainable. We install and finish VCT for schools, retail and institutional spaces across the GTA.

Overview

Proven, Practical & Budget-Friendly

Vinyl composition tile has been the standard commercial floor for decades, and for good reason. It's one of the most cost-effective hard-surface options available, extremely durable under heavy traffic, and when properly maintained it can be stripped, waxed and buffed back to a like-new shine for many years.

VCT comes in a wide range of colours, which makes it easy to create borders, patterns, wayfinding and logos — common in schools, hospitals and retail. The keys to a lasting VCT floor are a properly prepped substrate, correct adhesive and tight, consistent tile spacing. We handle the full install and can apply initial finish coats so it's ready for traffic.
