Hi, I am Yon and I am here to talk to you about Alterna by Armstrong. Whether you are looking to remodel your kitchen, bathroom, foyer or really any room in your home Alterna maybe the product for you. Constructed of 75% limestone for outstanding durability Alterna is warmer and softer under foot than traditional tile and stone, which means it is easier on feet and more forgiving for everyday accidents. Anyone that has dropped a coffee mug on a ceramic floor knows what I am talking about. Outstanding for active families and empty nesters alike; Alterna’s best quality is its beauty and realism. Available in slates, travertine, marbles and many other designs Alterna was built with more variation which means the most natural installed visual available in the market today. Alterna can also be grouted or installed without grout. It is really up to your taste. Alterna’s grout is nonporous, so it wont absorbs stains over time and it will look great for years to come. Backed by lifetime warranty consider Alterna by Armstrong for your next flooring project.

Easy Alterna™ Installation

Get a tool list and tips for installing Alterna luxury vinyl from Tony, Armstrong Installation Training & Service Specialist.
Hi, I am Tony. I am here to talk to you about installing Alterna by Armstrong. Alterna is a very easy install compared to ceramic tile. You don’t need a wet saw or a special backer board. All you need is trowel, float, utility knife, some spacers, a bucket, sponge and a roller. Spread your adhesive, let it dry to touch so it doesn't transfer to your finger, you are ready to install your tile. Alterna can be grouted or installed without Grout, by tight fitting the tiles next to each other. For a grouted install, lay your first tile, install a spacer, then lay your next tile. Alterna can be walked on immediately so you can install a whole room at one time. Our grout is an acrylic grout, which resist stains and there is no special sealers needed. It will dry completely in 24 hours. Unlike ceramic, which can take up the 3 days, you can install Alterna in 1 day so you don’t have to wait to walk on your new floor. For your next flooring project consider Alterna by Armstrong.

Luxury Vinyl Floor Care Products

Caring for a vinyl tile floor is simple. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping using Armstrong Once 'n Done Floor Cleaner will keep your tile looking beautiful. It's important to follow the 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.

tile great-installation varies I installed this tile in two rooms. In my daughter's room I put down the 1/4" recommended plywood first. The tile went on easily and adhered in the indicated length of time. In my bathroom I followed the instruction for stripping the surfacing on my existing flat tile. It took forever to dry, and the tile did not adhere as well for about two weeks! The grouting did not go on as well either. When I do the other bathroom and service porch I will definitely rip out the existing tile and lay down the plywood underlayment first. I love the appearance of the tile and it cleans easily. We have dogs and I have not had issues with scratches or dings. I put it in this summer (2012) so I can't really comment on reliability yet. October 18, 2012
Installed 3 months ago, very happy so far I had this floor installed when a previous, old (38 years) and worn asbestos vinyl tile floor was destroyed by a flood. Insurance paid for an average quality replacement floor, but I wanted a high quality floor and was willing to pay extra for it. I researched all types of floors and settled on this floor. It was professionally installed, which I recommend since the floor prep involved grinding the underlying concrete slab to make it absolutely smooth. I chose to not use "grout". The floor looks very good. Almost all visitors ask about it since it looks like ceramic tile. Following installation I had furniture moved back on it and was somewhat afraid of possibly scratching the vinyl, but this has not occurred even with sliding furniture on it. It cleans very easily. I cannot comment on its long-term durability since I have had it only three months but I am expecting a long life for it. June 20, 2012
