Alterna™ Luxury Vinyl Tile

For lasting beauty, comfort, and unmatched performance, Alterna™ luxury vinyl tile delivers. Listen to product manager, Yon, describe one of our most popular floors.
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.

Looks great The tiles installed easily and look great. No experience with how they wear or clean yet. January 20, 2013
The easiest floor I have ever had to clean. What a gorgeous floor to have in my home. I love the look the Armstrong Alterna brings to my kitchen. I would definitely recommend this floor to anyone, and I would have this floor installed again. The only thing I would do differently would be to check out more of the colors. The selection is awesome. December 17, 2011
When you want the look of grouted tile, but ceramic is not an option, this is the product you want. We have an older home and ceramic was not an option due to an uneven floor. Alterna grouted vinyl tiles were the solution we were looking for. They look like ceramic, but are softer under foot and more forgiving during installation. The end result was a beautiful tile floor that helped to modernize our kitchen and front entrance. We chose a white tile, the clean up of adhesive and grout took a fair bit of elbow grease over several washings. The floor is now easy to vacuum/sweep and washes up nicely. Ask your installer to keep the grout level with tiles, as low spots can leave your corners and edges exposed. Have had our floor for 6 months now and love the look. Seems like it should be durable for years to come ! September 14, 2011
We made the perfect decision My wife can't stop talking about how much she loves our new Armstrong Alterna D4121 floor we installed in our kitchen. We had to match it against one room having hard wood floor and another having mexican tile. The colors of this floor match perfectly with the other 2 rooms as well as all the colors we have in the kitchen. We looked long and hard at all flooring including tiles and wood and we feel this choice has the best possible durability and longevity. I also would like to mention that the support personnel at Armstrong were exceptional with answering all our questions with the perfect detail and in a timely manner! This project experience has been one of the most gratifying experiences we've ever had. Thank You September 13, 2011
