LVT Saves Schools Money within Three Years over VCT
Patcraft's new white paper "Get More from the Floor: Consider the total Costs of Flooring Ownership", details how educational environments can save money over time with luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring instead of vinyl composition tile (VCT).
Researcher Stanley Quentin Hulin breaks down estimated long-term costs based on average school environments, labor hours needed for standard floor maintenance, and how flooring maintenance costs can build over time. All of the white paper's estimates and calculations are cited and based on published industry standards, including the Association of Physical Plant Administration (APPA) guidelines for flooring maintenance - Operational Guidelines for Educational Facilities: Custodial (Third Edition).

Transforming Performance
At Patcraft, we see performance as more than a product attribute. We explore what it means to our customers, and those that stand upon our products. We celebrate stories of performance from diverse perspectives, like the Atlanta Music Project. Inspiring positive social change through the pursuit of musical excellence, co-founders Dantes Rameau and Aisha Bowden improve student performance – on stage, in school, in life – by providing intensive, tuition free music education for underserved youth right in their neighborhood.
Patcraft is transforming the performance of spaces through innovative flooring and design. Update your perspective and see how others are transforming performance with Atlanta Music Project – one of three features in Patcraft's Performance Video Series.
