Revolutionize commercial and residential spaces with our high-performance rigid core vinyl flooring, engineered specifically for hassle-free installation over existing tile. This innovative flooring solution eliminates the costly and time-consuming process of tile removal, offering a durable, waterproof, and aesthetically superior finish. Designed for contractors, developers, and property managers, our product delivers exceptional value and performance for renovation projects of any scale.
Product Overview
Our rigid core vinyl flooring over tile is a state-of-the-art, multi-layer flooring system. It combines a robust, dimensionally stable core with a photorealistic wear layer and a protective top coat. This construction creates a floating floor that can be installed directly over most existing ceramic, porcelain, or stone tile, provided the surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound. The product is available in a wide array of wood and stone visual designs, providing the authentic look of natural materials with far greater practicality and resilience in high-traffic environments.
Key Features
- Direct Over Tile Installation: Engineered with a rigid, click-lock system designed to bridge minor subfloor imperfections, allowing for installation directly over most existing tile floors without the need for underlayment in many cases.
- 100% Waterproof Core: The stone-plastic composite (SPC) or wood-plastic composite (WPC) core is completely impervious to water, making it ideal for moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
- Enhanced Durability: Features a high-density wear layer with superior scratch, stain, and dent resistance, backed by extensive commercial and residential warranties.
- Underfoot Comfort & Sound Reduction: The rigid core provides a solid feel underfoot while the attached pad (on select lines) offers acoustic benefits, reducing noise transmission and enhancing comfort.
- Low Maintenance & Hygienic: A protective UV-cured urethane coating resists scuffs and simplifies cleaning. The non-porous surface inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can any vinyl flooring be installed over tile?
No. Only rigid core vinyl flooring (SPC/WPC) with a locking system designed to handle minor subfloor irregularities is recommended for direct installation over tile. Traditional sheet vinyl or glue-down LVT typically require a perfectly smooth underlayment.
What preparation is needed for the existing tile?
The tile must be firmly adhered, clean, dry, and flat. Grout lines should be filled if they are deep or uneven to create a smooth surface. Any cracked, loose, or hollow-sounding tiles must be repaired or removed.
Will installing vinyl flooring over tile make my floors too high?
Our planks add minimal height (typically 5-8mm). This is often less disruptive than installing a new subfloor after tile removal. Proper planning for transitions at doorways and to adjacent rooms is standard practice.
Is the floor truly waterproof?
Yes, the rigid core is 100% waterproof. While water will not damage the planks themselves, it is always recommended to promptly clean spills to prevent moisture from migrating to the subfloor through seams or expansion gaps.
Do you offer samples and bulk quotations?
Yes. We provide physical samples for quality verification and detailed bulk quotations based on container load (FCL) quantities. Contact our sales team with your project specifications for a tailored quote.
