VINYL COMPOSITION TILE [TYPE [A] [_____]]
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The 3.2 mm (1/8 inch) thick vinyl composition
tile (VCT) should be utilized in high traffic
commercial type installations. The 2.4 mm
(3/32-inch) thick VCT should be considered for light
to medium duty areas such as rooms in BEQ's and
BOQ's.
Solid color tiles are tiles with uniform color
throughout. These are recommended for use as an
accent only in small quantities and not as the floor
field color. These tiles do not hide soiling well
and show scratches easily.
Through pattern tiles are tiles with patterning
distributed through the entire thickness.
**************************************************************************
Vinyl-composition tile shall conform to ASTM F 1066, [Class 1, (solid color
tile),][Class 2, (through pattern tile),] Composition 1, asbestos-free, and
shall be [300] [_____] mm [12] [_____] inches square and [2.4] [3.2] mm
[3/32] [1/8] inch thick. Tile shall have the color and pattern uniformly
distributed throughout the thickness of the tile.
