Solid Vinyl Tile

Milano replicates the look of natural stone, with multicolored chips pressed into the tile to deliver its variegated appearance. The speckled visual and larger tile size help to expand the creative options for installation. Because of its higher vinyl content, solid vinyl tile is a very durable flooring. It adjusts to sub-flooring irregularities and requires minimal maintenance.

Recommended for prep-rooms, entry, produce, back of house, & restrooms
