About Better Life Technology

Better Life Technology is the leading innovator and manufacturer of top quality, 100% solid polyvinyl flooring solutions for residential, commercial and OEM applications. Our origins began with a simple goal: create superior polyvinyl garage flooring that not only protected the concrete below, but outlasted and outperformed other polyvinyl products on the market. It wasn’t long before G‑Floor® became the Gold Standard for garages and we realized our ground-breaking, solid polyvinyl product had additional uses outside of the garage and above the floor.

Today we offer polyvinyl solutions manufactured in the USA for a multitude of purposes. Our high performance G‑Floor® Universal Flooring, G-Floor® Outdoor & Marine Flooring, and G‑Floor Graphic® Print Media deliver individuals, small businesses, corporations, fleet owners, marketers and others, the most reliable polyvinyl solutions at exceptional value. Better Life Technology’s products are so easy to install and maintain, you’ll find us covering more than just the halls and walls of educational, healthcare, modular and recreational facilities. Our flooring and promotional signage enhances retail establishments, kennels, mobile vehicles, and just about any room of the home. Basically ANYPLACE you live, work, and play… Better Life Technology has a polyvinyl solution.

In October 2018, Adventure Capital Partners, LLC purchased Better Life Technology.

History of Better Life Technology

Better Life Technology was founded in 1998 by Brett Sneed and his father Don.  Brett developed the unique 10’ wide manufacturing process and worked with Don to develop G‑Floor®, which is made of thick, solid polyvinyl and rolls out for easy installation. They positioned G‑Floor® against traditional epoxy floors, which can take up to 16 days to fully install and are prone to cracking, staining and peeling if not installed properly. Because it is compatible with alkalis and acids in concrete, G‑Floor® protects garage floors without breaking down the subfloor.

Since 2004, BLT has added new color options, textures and dimensions, and has been featured in many home improvement magazines and television shows. G‑Floor® can also be found in more than 1,200 retail stores nationwide, as well as via a variety of online distributors.

The line has continued to expand, now including G-Floor® Outdoor & Marine flooring as well as G‑Floor Graphic® customizable print media.
