Is that tile?

10/25/2013

One product that we have been using a great deal lately is a vinyl tile that simulates the look of ceramic tile. 

Congoleum makes a product called Duracermic and Armstrong makes the Alterna product.  Both are 3/16" thick and glue down with a thin layer or adhesive and are then grouted like traditional tile.

Why try to simulate tile? 
Some people love the look of tile but don't like the cold feel associated with it. 
This product is vinyl and is sitting on a wood underlayment , hence a warmer feel. 

Installation is a breeze as well!  
No special tile saws needed to cut this flooring. 
No messy thin set for installation.  You can also grout the same day.

The bathroom was recently completed by Todd Olsen, one of our lead carpenters and utilized Alterna by Armstrong. 

The client loves the look and feel.  
At around $3.60 per square foot, it is pretty easy on the pocketbook as well.
