Specifications

Common Uses

Winchester Vinloc Vinyl Tile is well suited for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, laundry rooms, and light commercial spaces such as retail fitting rooms, reception areas, and office kitchens. The tile format works particularly well in rooms where a stone or ceramic look is desired without the weight, cold surface, or difficult installation of real tile.

Pairs Well With

Add matching transitions at doorways and room boundaries using the 1026 Transition Strip. For a plank format in the same Vinloc line, see the 10mm Winchester Vinloc Extra and Essentials Series or the 10.5mm Winchester Vinloc Premier Series.

Pro Tips

• Do not add a second layer of underlayment. The attached pad is engineered for this locking system -- additional underlayment causes joint flex and premature wear.
• For tile installations, plan your layout from the centre of the room outward to keep cuts symmetrical at the walls. Avoid narrow cut tiles at doorways.
• Leave a 10mm expansion gap around all fixed objects -- walls, cabinets, door frames, and pipes -- to allow for seasonal movement.
• Acclimate tiles in the installation room for 48 hours before installing, particularly in rooms with significant temperature variation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between vinyl tile and vinyl plank?
Vinyl tile mimics the look of stone, ceramic, or porcelain tile in a square or rectangular tile format. Vinyl plank mimics wood in a long narrow plank format. Both use the same waterproof SPC or LVP core construction -- the choice comes down to the aesthetic you want for the space.

Is this product suitable for commercial use?
Yes. The 30-year commercial warranty covers light to moderate commercial applications. For heavy commercial use such as retail floors with high foot traffic, confirm the AC rating with your local Windsor Plywood location before purchasing -- commercial buyers typically require AC4 or above.

Do I need grout with vinyl tile?
No. Winchester Vinloc Vinyl Tile uses a click-lock system -- tiles click together without grout. This makes installation faster, maintenance easier, and eliminates the risk of grout cracking over time.

Can this be installed in bathrooms?
Yes. The water resistant construction is suitable for bathroom floors. Ensure all edges and transitions are properly sealed and that the subfloor is dry and flat before installing.

How do I calculate how many boxes I need?
Measure your room in square feet, add 10% for cuts and waste, then divide by the coverage per box. Ask your local Windsor Plywood location for the exact tile dimensions and box coverage to calculate your order accurately.
