Durability & Life Expectancy
Vinyl tile should last five to 20 years, depending on the quality of the tile and the level of care it receives. Tile with a urethane or enhanced urethane wear layer is more durable and will last longer than a vinyl no-wax tile. The tile thickness is also a factor – the thicker, the more durable the tile.
Keep In Mind:
Typical Warranties
Five year to lifetime warranties.
Care & Maintenance
Caring for a vinyl tile floor is simple: regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a cleaner recommended by the tile manufacturer will keep your tile looking beautiful. It's important to follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions: mopping with too much water can soak the tile and loosen the adhesive; abrasive cleaners can harm the tile's surface; waxing will damage vinyl tile's wear layer; some cleaners may actually dull the tile's finish.
