VCT-Vinyl Composition Tile

Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is a strong and durable flooring material and is a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings. VCT flooring requires regular maintenance to ensure it maintains its durable properties. VCT cleaning and sealing requires periodic re-coating, routine stripping and re-sealing to maintain a fresh, clean finish and to ensure the floors last a long time.

If you are building new or remodeling, your VCT flooring should be sealed within a few days after installation. Sealing will protect your new tile from scratching and from fading if exposed to direct sunlight.

VCT Cleaning and Sealing Tips:

Utilize floor mats at all entryways so floors stay cleaner longer. Mats also help keep floors dry, which can be a safety concern.
VCT flooring should be cleaned daily using a dust mop, damp mop, and a clean water rinse. This helps maintain the floors between professional cleanings.
Occasionally VCT flooring will require a wax coating be applied to maintain the clean, shiny appearance of the floors. The frequency will be determined by the amount of foot traffic on the floors.
Finally, it is necessary that the wax coatings left from repeated maintenance will need to be stripped, and the floors are resealed with a fresh finish. This should always be done by a professional.

A regular maintenance schedule for your VCT cleaning and sealing is very important. It extends the life of your floors and maintains a clean work and living environment.
