Standard VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile) has been a mainstay in commercial construction for over 50 years. Performance, durability, a deep color palette and reliable warranty all add to its value; but its inexpensive initial installation cost is the leading reason why VCT is specified over and over again.
VCT is manufactured from limestone, an abundant natural resource. This ensures costs remain competitive, but leaves an industrial look to the product. Leave it up to Armstrong to take a trusted material and make it more design driven for the A&D community! They have created Planks & Bio Based Tiles that are adding value to the industry. Welcome Raffia VCT + Striations & Migrations BBT Tiles! It’s about time!

- Soft, tonal color steps offer muted, sophisticated pattern combinations.
- Includes pre & post-consumer recycled content & a true through pattern construction provides extended floor life – conscientious!
- Why Use Striations & Migrations BBT Tiles?
- More than 5 times greater resistance to impact and more than 2-1/2 times greater resistance to cracking from uneven subfloors than standard VCT.
- Contains 10% pre-consumer recycled content & patent-pending BioStride polymer made with rapidly renewable, US-grown plant ingredients.

In general, maintenance practices are similar to that of standard VCT, thus a “learning curve” will not be required for cleaning staff and these innovative products can be integrated into existing buildings containing standard VCT to allow for visual updates and performance upgrades with ease.
