Having an ultra-durable floor not only improves the aesthetic features of your building, it also provides much less maintenance and upkeep.

What is VCT?
Vinyl composition flooring is a smooth finished flooring material available in sheet vinyl or vinyl tile form. Tiles are often a popular option since they can be easily replaced individually if they're damaged, instead of resurfacing the entire floor. VCT comes in a variety of colors and patterns based on your needs. It's great for representing school colors on your floors as it adds an extra "pop" of school flair.
