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.

THIS PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE STONE TILE i HAD THIS FLOOR INSTALLED IN MY KITCHEN LAST WEEK. IT LOOKS LIKE STONE TILE. I AM PLEASED WITH THE SOFTNESS AND EASE OF KEEPING IT CLEAN. May 2, 2013
Looks like Stone - Lives Much Better! We installed Talus "Sunset Beige" in our Laundry, Master Bath, Master Closet & Guest Bath over a year ago. During our remodel, my husband insisted on a floor that felt "warm" to touch (not cold like traditional tile) and I wanted a floor that looked like the real thing! Armstrong's Alterna flooring was perfect for us. It's easy to clean using "Once and Done" and lives so much better than tradtional tiles. Highly recommended. January 9, 2013
Beautiful, recommended by installer Beautiful floor, goes with our kitchen colors. Installation was done professionally. We don't know about durability yet, our jack russell terrier will test it. But installer stated this is the only flooring he would install in his home. After the first cleaning, to remove grout haze, further cleanings were a breeze. May 8, 2012
I can't recommend it We redid our kitchen 4 months ago which included the flooring. With a large dog, a swimming pool, 3 kids, and the sun, the hardwood floor in our kitchen took a beating. My husband wanted ceramic tile however I wanted an alternative that would be pet and water friendly yet not be cold on the feet and hard. We chose this tile and I really regret it. The tiles have a rough surface and are a bear to clean and keep clean! The only thing I've found that will actually remove the dirt on it is Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser. (I'm not even sure this is acceptable however it beats having to look at the dirty haze on the floor!) A darker color would probably mask the dirt color better but it's still there. This floor seems to lock in the dirt because of its textured surface. Factoring in the amount of time it takes to clean the floor and the added cost of the Mr. Clean erasers for the amount of flooring we have, only to have it look bad again in a matter of moments is definitely not worth it! Additionally there are a few nicks in the floor, one from a dropped knife, and the others are a mystery. May 3, 2012
