Have you worked with resilient flooring? If so, what manufacturers? Have there been any issues?

Every material has its idiosyncrasies. Every manufacturer has their differences. Historically, it hasn’t mattered that much if VCT tiles are not all the same size. However, if you are asking a waterjet company to maintain tight tolerance, then the material size must be consistent. All manufacturers provide materials within industry standards, but some are more consistent then others. A manufacturer may specify their tile size as 18” x 18” when the actual dimensions are 17.875″ x 17.875″. If the waterjet cutter has been programmed for a tile size of 18″ x 18″ then there problems will occur in the project assembly and installation. If a company has not worked with resilient materials before they may not know what discrepancies to look out for. Time, materials and the success of the project could be in jeopardy.
