Hamilton Parker is proud to offer two new collections of VCT from AHF Contract – Highlights and Iliad. Highlights features 25 vibrant hues, perfect for accents, borders, wayfinding, and custom inserts. Iliad’s color palette showcases 20 timeless colors, drawing inspiration from ancient Greece. Gone are the days of boring vinyl floors. These VCT offerings are designed to embellish your brand and compliment your creativity within your commercial space.
Construction & Durability
Made from limestone, thermoplastic binders, and color pigmants, VCT is highly durable and impact resistant. In addition, VCT is also water-resistant and stain resistant, a great solution for the demands of commercial spaces like schools and healthcare facilities.
Restoration
One of the major advantages of VCT is its ability to be restored vs. needing to be replaced. A well-maintained VCT floor can be stripped, cleaned, and refinished to extend its lifespan and reduce environmental waste by keeping flooring materials out of landfills.
Sustainability
With a focus on sustainability, AHF Contract’s VCT is FloorScore® Certified for low VOC emissions. Additionally, VCT not used at the manufacturing plant gets recycled right back into the process to make new VCT.
Maintenance
As for maintenance, AHF Contract recommends daily cleaning with a wet mop and natural cleaner, with a routine scrub and polish every 4-6 months to keep the floors looking brand new. In addition, you can buff out scratches to restore floors and periodically seal to reduce wear and protect against stains. It’s as simple as that!
VCT vs. LVT
VCT is a great alternative to LVT (luxury vinyl tile) or ceramic tile because of its typically lower initial cost. AHF Contract’s offerings are also backed by a 20-year warranty.
Domestically Made
Finally, the Hightlights and Iliad collections are made in the USA* and are in stock, ready to ship quickly!
Highlights:
Highlights is curated to blend with AHF Contract’s VCT portfolio to add just the right amount of energy and spirit to a space. Inspired by – the vibrant ambiance of springtime, journeys through Greek villages, blossoms adorning the landscapes, colorful houses dotting the horizon and breathtaking sunsets illuminating the skies – this collection embodies the essence of joyful exploration and natural beauty. With its distinctive look and vibrant hues, Highlights elevates the floor to a focal point.
Iliad:
Iliad draws inspiration from the cultural treasures of ancient Greece, echoing the definition of “classic” as a high-quality benchmark. A fresh visual and colors invite nature indoors and pay homage to the immortal beauty of ancient poetry that resonates through the millennia—a visual poem of hand-crafted surfaces, where every tile is a verse.
