What Six Degrees Flooring Surfaces does

Six Degrees Flooring Surfaces is a US-based, family-owned manufacturer of Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring products, headquartered at a state-of-the-art production facility in Fostoria, Ohio. Founded in 1994, the company produces and inventories its flooring lines domestically from locally-sourced raw materials, positioning itself around quick turnaround times and American-made supply. It employs between 51 and 100 people and sells exclusively within the United States.

The company's product portfolio is organized into six registered collections: Radius and Radius 2.0 (commercial-grade LVT in wood and stone visuals with 12–20 mil CRU wear surfaces), DeGradus (2mm residential/multi-family LVT), Compass and Compass Plus 5mm (heavy-commercial-rated LVT in 56+ designer-inspired colors with 28 mil wear layers and integrated EnviroSD antibacterial agent), and Impression (matching vinyl stair treads). All products feature the company's proprietary Ceramic Reinforced Urethane (CRU) finish, a UV-cured ceramic-reinforced polyurethane coating that delivers wear, chemical, indentation, and slip resistance and is backed by 10–20-year warranties. The products carry GREENGUARD Gold certification, qualify for LEED v2009 credits, and are CHPS-member listed for high-performance school use.

Six Degrees generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of LVT products via a two-tier go-to-market model: a national network of authorized flooring distributors plus direct field sales representatives. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed. End markets are diversified across commercial office, healthcare, large-scale retail, hospitality, education (K-12 and higher education), religious/non-profit, and multi-family residential customers. Supplementary revenue comes from installation/maintenance products, matching stair treads, and participation in cooperative purchasing channels (notably Sourcewell) for public-sector and institutional buyers.
