Is VCT flooring still used in modern construction?

Yes, VCT is widely used in commercial, institutional, and healthcare settings where cost and durability are prioritized over residential aesthetics.

Does VCT contain asbestos?

No, modern VCT is 100% asbestos-free. Older pre-1980s products may contain asbestos, but current VCT is safe and code-compliant.

Is VCT flooring waterproof?

VCT tiles have some water resistance, but joints are vulnerable. When sealed and waxed properly, the floor is highly water-resistant and easy to clean.

Can I install VCT in my basement?

VCT is rigid and can crack on uneven concrete subfloors. It’s generally not recommended for residential basements; LVP is a better waterproof and comfortable option.

Where can I buy VCT flooring locally?

Squarefoot Flooring carries Armstrong, Tarkett, and other professional VCT products with local pickup available in Mississauga, Toronto, and Barrie.

The Proven Workhorse of Commercial Flooring: VCT

For high-volume spaces where cost, maintenance, and durability matter most, VCT delivers reliable performance. Unlike LVP, VCT is a system that benefits from a regular maintenance schedule to maintain its finish and longevity.

Why Choose VCT Flooring?

Extreme Durability

Made from a limestone-based composition, VCT is highly resistant to abrasion and impact, perfect for shopping malls, transport hubs, and heavy-use areas.

Cost-Effective Solution

VCT offers a lower initial material cost compared to LVP, LVT, or ceramic, making it ideal for large-scale commercial projects with budget constraints.

Ease of Maintenance

Sealed and waxed VCT floors are easy to maintain. The protective layer can be stripped and reapplied annually to refresh the floor’s appearance for decades of service.

Design Flexibility

Available in numerous colors and patterns running through the tile’s thickness, VCT allows for custom designs, logos, and intricate layouts.

Key Products & Installation

We carry industry-standard brands like Armstrong Flooring and Tarkett. VCT is installed with thin-spread adhesives (e.g., Mapei Ultrabond ECO 711) and requires professional layout, adhesive application, setting, and sealing/waxing for optimal performance.
