During a recent survey of large flooring contractors we asked them to list the biggest complaints they have with the recent influx of offshore conductive and static dissipative vinyl flooring. Every response included major concerns about:
- Squareness, and shrinkage which create seam gaps – and call backs
- Economic liability for the contractor, the janitorial service and ultimately the owner, because of shrinkage and lack of squareness

PROBLEMS with off shore tile
installation shown in the photos below
Lack of squareness creates uneven joints between tiles. Over a 50 foot span, these small variations grow cumulatively to as much as 1/2"
Shrinkage has caused an 1/8" gap between tiles in this entry to a clean room. Dirt has begun to collect in gaps creating an unsightly outline between tiles.
Large, 1/4" gap from shrinkage between tiles. Water can collect in large gaps causing adhesive breakdown and de-lamination of floor.
Tiles are not square creating poor alignment at four corners. As installation progresses, an entire row of tiles will need to be cut back to compensate for alignment differences.
Less than perfect vinyl tile costs time and money for the installer
The installer has to sort tiles and cut them in order to make them fit properly; they also need to buy extra tile to compensate for the tiles they can’t use. After installation, the owner is harnessed with permanent maintenance problems, including gaps in seams and ongoing shrinkage. Gaps collect dirt and compromise the visual appeal of a floor that was supposed to look like an operating room in a hospital.
