Vinyl Flooring

In Plain English

A durable, water-resistant plastic floor product available in sheets, tiles, or planks.

Definition

Vinyl flooring is a resilient flooring category that includes sheet vinyl, vinyl composition tile (VCT), and luxury vinyl tile (LVT). It is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and provides a durable, water-resistant, easy-to-maintain surface at a lower cost than natural materials. Sheet vinyl is available in rolls up to 12 feet wide for seamless installation; VCT is the commercial standard for high-traffic areas such as schools and hospitals.

Example

The school district chose vinyl composition tile for all classroom floors because it is easy to strip and wax on a regular maintenance schedule.
