Vinyl Floor Tiles

Options for Vinyl Floor Tiles

Because vinyl floor tiles offer so much variety in design and installation options, they are a highly popular selection. With many different 12x12, 18x18, and 24x24 vinyl floor tile options, finding the perfect one can seem challenging. We can help you find the exact model to meet your needs, whether you need a residential basement vinyl tile, commercial-grade peel-and-stick vinyl flooring, or something in between.

Types of Vinyl Tile Flooring

At Greatmats, we offer several types of vinyl tile flooring, including:

• Interlocking vinyl on plastic: Vinyl tiles with a plastic base and interlocking edges are usable in basements that may have moisture, as the raised plastic base allows air to flow underneath.
  
• Interlocking vinyl on foam: Interlocking-edge vinyl tiles with a foam base are more comfortable than other options, making it easier to stand and work for hours at a time.
  
• Peel and stick: You can use a peel-and-stick tile in areas where you want an easy, mess-free installation on a firm subfloor.
  
• Glue down or tape down: Some vinyl tiles use a glue-down or tape-down installation to secure them to the subfloor, rather than using an interlocking edge.
