Preparing for VCT Installation
VCT installation requires a clean, level sub-floor. If the sub-floor has dips, fill them in with leveling compound. Sand down high areas in the sub-floor. If you must remove an old vinyl floor from 1990 or earlier, get it tested for asbestos. If it contains asbestos, it must be professionally removed.

Installation
VCT installation is similar to that of other floor tiles. Glue the VCT to the sub-floor once it has been properly prepared. There are different types of adhesive; the main difference in each is the amount of time you have to work with it.

Caring for VCT
To care for VCT, sweep often and mop the tiles with a mild cleaner as needed. You may have a cleaning service use a floor cleaning and polishing machine on VCT periodically, depending on the traffic and amount of wear. If you have any questions, contact the tile manufacturer for more detailed instructions.
