re: #619 Ward Cleaver

What kind of vinyl tile did you buy? We want to re-do our kitchen, laundry room, bathrooms, and entry (it’s a cheap builder-grade sheet vinyl now). We’re thinking of pulling it all up and going with peel-and-stick tiles.

I have redone my bath, kitchen, spare bedroom and hall with the peel and stick vinyl. I bought the tile really cheap (didnt even pay 45 cents for it but I only want it to last a few years) and I made sure the sub floor was very clean and completely dry. If you have any crevices or deep gouges in the floor, use liquid floor leveler to fill them in. sand it and clean it. Do use extra glue in the base 4 and the edges.

rent a roller from the local rental place. they are about 80 lbs and when you are done laying the tile, roll it so that it flattens and has no bubbles.

If you have the tiniest scrap or piece of dirt on the subfloor, you will get a pucker in your tile.
