The Difference between Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)

VCT

Style: While you can choose from a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, VCT does have limited texture and embossing options, making the natural look more difficult to achieve.
Durability: Vinyl composite tile should be waxed and finished to protect it from moisture and debris. It also has a lower static load resistance than LVT.
Cost: Vinyl composite flooring is often selected for its low upfront cost. However, buyers should consider the higher maintenance costs of waxing and polishing.

LVT

Style: LVT is a cost-effective alternative to natural flooring such as wood, marble, or stone.
Durability: Made entirely of vinyl, LVT does not have porous quality, allowing it to hold up in environments susceptible to moisture. The patterns and texture of luxury vinyl tile also hide dirt.
Cost: The higher cost of installation for LVT is often made up over the years of reduced maintenance costs.

Does Vinyl Composite tile need to be professionally installed?

While some say VCT is the easiest flooring to install yourself, you should consider the time and financial investment of a DIY installation. Once you add up the cost of all the adhesive and specialty tools needed to install VCT, it's often easier to hire a professional.

Expert installation will also keep you from shifting tiles later on, saving you time and money overall. Contact Advanced Commercial Flooring for professional composite vinyl tile installation or repair.

How do I maintain VCT flooring?

Daily care for vinyl composite tile is fairly simple, but long-term, the flooring will need to be waxed and finished to ensure it lasts.

Daily: Sweep, vacuum, and mop floors as needed. You should always use a mild cleaner and rinse the floor after cleaning.
Quarterly: Depending on your maintenance routine and typical foot traffic, you may need to recoat your VCT flooring more or less often. Contact Advanced Commercial Flooring if you believe your vinyl composite flooring needs to be polished.

Using walk-off matting in entryways and areas with higher than usual foot traffic will keep those areas clean and undamaged much longer.
