Vinyl composite tile (VCT) is known for its strength and durability, making it the ideal flooring choice for many commercial and institutional settings. However, like any material that's subjected to foot traffic, it won't last forever, and occasional replacement will be needed. When that time comes, it's best to leave the job to a building maintenance professional. Here are a few reasons why.

Reasons to Have a Professional Replace Your VCT Floors

1. Prevent Damage

VCT floors can be difficult to remove without the right tools and experience. The older the tiles, the longer the adhesive has had to set, and the harder it will be to remove them. The safety and visual appeal of your business are crucial. You don't want to risk damaging the property by trying to remove old flooring tiles on your own. Your building maintenance professionals will bring all the equipment necessary to safely remove the floors and protect your business in the process.

2. Enjoy a Quicker Turnaround Time

As the old adage goes, time is money. Replacing a VCT floor can be time-consuming and costly if you're not familiar with how to perform this work. The professionals you hire understand the processes and techniques involved in removing old tiles and installing new ones with a minimum of stress, time, and disruption to your business. Your company's downtime will be reduced, and in the end, the appearance and safety of your floors will be drastically improved.

3. Minimize Dirt and Dust

One of the biggest challenges in removing VCT flooring is the dust the tiles produce when they are removed. The thin set of the tiles demands that they be ground off the floor so that the new tiles can be smoothly and uniformly installed. This often results in a lot of dust being dispersed. 

Dust can be harmful to employees and customers, especially to those with allergies and chemical sensitivities. Building maintenance professionals have the supplies and in-depth knowledge of the processes needed to mitigate the spread of dust throughout removal and installation, keeping your workplace safer and cleaner.
