This luxury vinyl tile flooring is FloorScore certified and has a stamp of approval from the Environmental Product Declaration.

In terms of installation this vinyl tile flooring can be installed using the glue down method. This flooring is designed for easy installation and maintenance. Vinyl tiles can be installed in a number of different designs. Here are the different ways:
• Monolithic Installation Method: All the tiles go in one direction.
• Brick Installation Method: Each row of carpet tiles are off-set by half of the tile’s width. This creates a pattern that looks similar to brick.
• Ashlar Installation Method: Each column of carpet tiles is offset by half a tile, which creates a vertical brick-like pattern.
• Herringbone Installation Method: This pattern is produced from alternating rows of strip flooring.
• Stagger Installation Method: This method gives floors a more fluid and uniform look. The staggering of the planks is at random.
