Armstrong VCT tiles - Can we keep them matte?

12 years ago

We have purchased some Armstrong VCT tiles for our small, residential bathroom. I was curious to know if there was a way to maintain the "matte" finish, instead of going very shiny. I understand the polish helps maintenance of the vinyl, but is there an alternative? I love the matte look. Thanks!

Phone Armstrong to find out if they have a polish that offers a low gloss option. Gloss is no longer about the "rub on", "rub off" effect. It is all about chemical make up and bending light. There should be something out there. Armstrong is a huge company - I'm sure they have something that will work.

Thanks! I contacted them and it sounds like they have a low-gloss option that we'll plan on trying!
