Vinyl Tile Flooring Install

I want to show you how easy it is to install vinyl tile yourself. Unlike laminate, or hard wood, you won't need a lot of special tools, or a ton of time. It took Joseph and I about 7 ...»
hours to install the tiles from start to finish, which isn't bad, considering the bathroom also contains a laundry section.

Prep Work:1. Rip out previous flooring and scrub free of debris.2. Draw a grid on the floor with a pencil.

Install:3. Measure and cut tile according to each size space on the grid.4. Apply glue with a spreading tool.5. Peel off the back of each tile and stick.

Linoleum floor

I would like to redo my bathroom floor which is linoleum. Can I put tile over it or do I have to rip it up before I put the tile down ( not the peel and stick tile)

    Monica.... definitely remove the existing floor and to install the tile properly......install ...»
    an approved underlayment such as concrete backer board or hardi board underlayment. This will insure a stable surface for the ceramic tile with no future problems. Do not install the tile directly to the wood subfloor.....you will eventually have problems,

How To Refinish a Commercial Tile Floor to Look Like New

First we color sealed the grout line to make them all look uniform, with our standard color gray. After we were done sealing the grout lines, we then applied our Enhancer Seal to brighten the look of the tile and make the floor look brand new!
