What is Vinyl Tile?
Of all flooring options, vinyl tile stands out as the easiest to install and the most economical. But it's more than simply practical. Vinyl tile is available in a multitude of designs, including looks that simulate natural materials such as wood, stone, and ceramic tile. The wide variety of solid colors and graphic patterns that only vinyl can achieve will complement any style of décor. The modular tile format allows you to alternate different colors to create a classic checkerboard look, or use a single color for an uninterrupted visual effect. New, large format tiles are available in not only the latest looks, but with the easiest installation systems. In addition to different-sized squares, vinyl tile is also sold in luxury vinyl tile plank shapes to replicate the look of hardwood flooring. The combination of design options, easy installation and good value makes vinyl tile a flooring favorite for utility areas, kitchens, mudrooms, bathrooms and playrooms.
Vinyl tile is a composite, layered construction consisting of:
 A) Protective wear layer: Urethane and other high-performance wear layers make the product easy to clean and resist scratches and scuffs. Enhanced urethane offers the maximum amount of protection and is priced above regular urethane.
Less expensive vinyl no-wax tile does not have this protective wear layer.
B) Protective clear film layer: This film adds durability and helps protects against rips, tears and gouges.
C) Printed design layer: On this layer, a rotogravure printing process creates the myriad of designs available in vinyl tile. The visuals range from very realistic interpretations of natural materials to original and unique patterns.
D) Vinyl tile backing: This bottom-most layer adds structural strength and durability. Generally the thicker the backing, the more durable the product.
