Where Can I Use Vinyl Tile?

Vinyl tile can be used anywhere in your home, including below grade level bathrooms and basements. It is a good choice for areas where you want a combination of economical performance and design. Vinyl tile has many of the benefits of vinyl sheet, but the modular tile format does have seams where dirt and moisture can accumulate. Take extra care in bathroom installations to promptly wipe up moisture and pooling water, which might soak into the seams and damage the floor substrate. Like sheet vinyl, vinyl tile should not be used on stairs.

Keep in Mind:

  • Although vinyl is impervious to water, the adhesive that is used to attach it to the floor is not.
  • Tile seams allow water to seep in, which can affect the adhesive bond and the floor substrate. Mop standing water promptly.
