Aesthetics & Innovation Expressive Ideas is the new Vinyl Based Tile (VBT™) innovations from AHF Contract®.
The VBT™ product line, exclusively from AHF Products, offers lower maintenance and lifecycle costs versus traditional Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) tile, with colors developed specifically for commercial environments.
For its inspiring sustainable design, Aesthetics & Innovation Expressive Ideas has recently been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Commercial customers like the coloration and the premium chip visual of the brand-new VBT.
Densely patterned tones effectively mask scuffs and soil in busy commercial spaces.
From bold brights to subdued natural colors, the 28-color palette can enhance any environment.
Through-pattern construction of VBT – which means the color and pattern extend throughout the thickness of the tile – ensures that the tile’s color and design will last the life of the floor.
This revolutionary, low-maintenance VBT product offers superior scratch, stain, and scuff resistance without polish, reducing the total cost of ownership over the life of the floor.
Education, offices, retail, and healthcare environments can resume operations far more quickly and with minimal interruption because of a simpler maintenance regimen and a variety of performance benefits that help efficiency, productivity, and sustainability goals.
Built Environment Solution, Durability & Functionality & Quality AHF Products offers a series of leading commercial solutions.
The Vinyl Based Tile line features a sturdy 2.5 mm gauge construction with a 20-mil wear layer and square edges.
The VBT line offers a glue-down installation, is ideal for large-area installations, and handles rolling loads and heavy traffic.
Available in a wide range of color options, the collection comes in a standard 12 inch x 12 inch square tile.
All are topped with the innovative Urethane Plus with Ceramic Bead finish.
The coating provides superior resistance to scratches and stains, but also offers easy cleanability.
The flooring should be swept regularly to remove excess dirt and grit and damp mopped, but requires no waxing, buffing, sealers, or finishes.
An environmentally responsible product line, VBT is FloorScore® certified and is made with 100% virgin vinyl – no phthalates or heavy metals.
The benefit of VBT is that it lasts longer than Vinyl Composition Tile and has a 15-year limited commercial warranty – competitors have a 5-10 year (based on the line).
This ultimately means less waste ending up in landfills.
It also doesn’t require any polishing; traditional VCT typically requires at least 2 (sometimes 5) coats of polish for regular maintenance –which means more energy and more chemicals for maintenance.
VBT only needs damp mopping.
Theoretically, commercial customers may have to replace their VCT up to twice as often as one installation of VBT.
