Resilient Sheet

Resilient sheet flooring includes solid sheet vinyl, vinyl composite tile (VCT), enhanced vinyl, asphalt, linoleum, cork, rubber and polymeric poured floors. All are flexible, durable, and most are considered at least marginally green, whether they are made from completely organic substances such as cork or linoleum, or recycled as in the case of rubber and some vinyl composites. Most resilient sheet flooring is inexpensive, easy to install, and extremely durable; this makes it a popular choice for a variety of applications.

Uses for Commercial Resilient Sheet

Resilient sheet flooring is appropriate for use in various rooms. Vinyl composite tile or VCT is used commercially in nearly every type of setting, from office buildings to supermarkets to hospitals. Asphalt tile is still popular for outdoor applications, such as paving in areas inaccessible for concrete construction. Rubber is used primarily in gymnasiums, schools and health care facilities, or anywhere a non-skid floor is needed for safety reasons.

Advantages of Commercial Resilient Sheet Flooring

Resilient sheet flooring has the advantage of easy installation in most cases - many types can be installed by the average handyman, making it a favorite of DIY enthusiasts. Linoleum and rubber can be installed straight over concrete, while vinyl requires a solid sub floor. Underlayment can be put down to add cushion and improve soundproofing before flooring is installed, if desired. Some types of resilient flooring can even be laid directly over existing flooring, which is a boon to those needing to quickly update a commercial building.

Things to Consider When Purchasing Commercial Resilient Flooring

Choosing resilient sheet flooring for your business allows you to take advantage of a wide range of colors, textures, thicknesses and sustainability. Maintenance of resilient flooring is generally simple and time efficient. An added appeal is that resilient flooring can be obtained with realistic wood grain or natural stone patterns, making it easy to blend with existing décor.
