I actually laid the tile out real nice actually. I started from the middle to the edges. Now if I ever need to put some tile again I'll know. I also moped the whole floor and made sure there wasn't any pebbles or dust before laying it. Stuck real good.
I put Armstrong peel & stick tiles in our kitchen around 20 years ago. Installed it right on top of existing vinyl floor. After all these years, three sons, four grandsons, dogs, cats, spills, etc....still looks great. A couple years ago I tried the same thing in our bathrooms but used Home Depot's TrafficMaster tiles. They started discoloring after a few days. They look absolutely horrible. The difference in quality is massive.
My dad layed down an Armstrong p/s floor in my kitchen in 1998, a parquet design, and it still looks good. No tears, holes or dents. Alitte duller, but still looks good for so long.
@@pinkfreud62 This is strange....I posted a reply because I looked it up, & Armstrong does not make TrafficMaster. Two completely different companies. But my comment is not here.
@@JamieM470 yes, they do. I just layed my TrafficMaster groutable tile down and the back of the tiles where the arrow is says Armstrong. Maybe they don't make the planks or all of TrafficMaster products, but they most certainly make the travertine tiles I layed down.
The reason to start away from the wall is so you can figure easier if the other side will leave you 1) matched with the other side and 2) so you don't get to the other side with a strip to finish that is thinner than 1/2 tile width which is to narrow to get enough grip on the floor.
We had a more complicated pattern with 12x24 in tiles and you cannot start in the middle. We also have a smaller bathroom and had to start in the corner. 4:10
Thanks for this video. I am going to rip up the old vinyl/linoleum in my laundry room. There is a small spot where the old linoleum cut from moving a dryer but not sure what the brand of the old stuff is. I was going to glue down that part and install the new over but I feel confident starting fresh. The kind I bought is water resistant and called icy gray. I will update after install. :-)
@@dais813 I went ahead and ripped up the old flooring. It was simple. Since it's a higher traffic area, I used some mastic adhesive to last longer. It was difficult working around the dryer vent. As long as you are measuring properly and following instructions, it should go well. It's holding up very well.
I did it over my tile floor in a small bath and I had no problem. It does say water resistant. That means a little water no problem, but flood water not so much!
I get a crackling sound when I walk on it. Will that go away? What’s causing it? The floor is clean and dry. I placed it over existing glue on vinyl tile.
One of the requirements listed in the video was a completely level floor. I would think tiles and grout would not fit that description, as the grout lines would be slightly lower than the tile itself. Did you try it? If so, how did it work out?
The tile that I want to know about is NOT peel an stick or tile with grout. The, I have is the tile you use floor glue to put on. No space between tile.
It isn't as easy as it looks. I had problem after problem after problem. I ended up going into a rage and ripping all the tiles up and throwing them away. It's easier to just pay someone who knows what the hell they are doing.
I'm sorry to inform you Sir. that you are incorrect about one of these steps... Over the years of this we replaced your " well thought out plan of action" with your videos of wisdom, guidance, chose to walk the same path alongside with you! The similarity in your video possesses the same energy of a 90s video. So beautiful demonstration in Bravo to you can you shall receive all the kudos! 👏 👏 👏 😂
yes. its the adhesive that plays the important role but if your truck sits in the heat or humidity it will move. you might have to use a latex primer before laying them down.
Hey Bud people read you question and it sounds like it would work but knowing what you are talking about I say no way will that work as I know trucking and that floor if like all the ones I've seen isn't flat enough to stick to. It works on a surface that is firmly attached to the surface under itself.
Yes you can use an adhesive. Don’t use too much. Make a zig zag pattern when place the adhesive on each tile.You can even space the tile out and grout it if you want to look like ceramic tile.
I would recommend it.but paint your drywall with thinned down pva as a sealant ive dont this years ago with floor tiles and ppl thoght i was crrazy untill untill they saw it then it became a phase.like artex back in the 90s..
These comments are suspect. My Armstrong tiles barely have any adhesive at all. Ended up having to buy adhesive for the entire install. They were ALL warped. Every single one. It’ll work for now while we save for a full remodel but DEFINITELY some fake comments in here.
Im Actually 11 and I did my bathroom, hall, landing, stairs, by myself and it sure looked good to me!
Im 6 months old..i did this to my room easy-to-use
@@mr_4point681im a new born. I tiled my nursery all by myself. After seeing what ugly tiles my parents had in there.
That's really awesome man! I'm 35 and honestly I'm a little nervous lol. Sounds like you did great!
Dang!!! Way to go! I don't want to do the grout part so I'm doing this method too. 😊

Armstrong makes TrafficMaster. I ordered a box from Home Depot so wish me luck, lol. My bathroom is small, though. Only 6x4 flooring to cover.

I did same. Lasted until I wanted a new look! 22 yrs!

An easy and good looking floor solution. I put right on top of old linoleum that was crumbling and they stuck great !
Thanks. I will try make the same
Good to know...I was going to start on a corner, but I guess I'll start from the middle out.
Dont..

@@ForeverEverlasting. awesome!! excited to try it out
@@dais813 I would love to know how it goes!
The adhesive on the product sucks, you need to get your own adhesive and spreadit on the wood for a good job
Hi. Is this water proof. Will it hold up if flooded?
Can these be use on ceramic tile floor,I really need to know because I'm tire of looking at my ugly outdated yellowish floor

I get a crackling sound when I walk on it. Will that go away? What’s causing it? The floor is clean and dry. I placed it over existing glue on vinyl tile.
I always remove existing flooring.
Can I place peel &stick tiles over vinyl sheet? Or I remove it first under is not floor….
Can these be installed over existing ceramic tile?
It has to be level, I'm betting you have grout lines that sink in and that will cause problems unless you level it out.
Gettijg a quote to do this. Yhe guy said he would use a tool yo smooth out the previous vinyl floor so the tiles will adhere better
I used carpet tape on the edges to make them sturdy.
Can you use these OVER ceramic tile? Large tiles with grout.

Wow I can’t wait to do it!!
I have existing tile in my bathroom and want to replace. How do I determine if it's below grade or not? Thank you.
Just risk it for the biscuit
Why does mine always separate after a day or 2
Its almost impossible to but vinyl tiles together perfectly with no gaps. They are pretty easy to cut though
use vinyl glue, you can slide the tiles to the right position. Check here
@@TheGarciaFamily04
Doesn’t leave much surface to tile over does it?
Easy?...how come you don't say how to anchor the chalk line????

Not a "rage" 🤣... Now I'm definitely not confident about doing this myself 🥴
Hilarious.. You said it! Someone who knows what he is doing. Which isn't you.. But it's ok. We all have different abilities.
Love the profile pic 🤘
Maybe you’re not that handy

I cleaned the floor then used heat gun to activate the glue to stick harder
That’s a good tip. Or even a hair dryer.
A little annoying that the hyperlink at the beginning of the video doesn't work, and there's no mention of grouting.
You don't need grout
Just making things harder if you grout. They're cheaper stick on tiles. You want grout spend more and use higher quality.
Sometimes you alternate the arrow if you want that look.
Yes exactly. ;
Thanks! Why not over plank flooring?
Too unlevel/porous for a good bond.
You can't use these over carpet?
I just passed by a video on UA-cam on how to do that. Search it & it should come up.
Can I use grout? If yes, any recommendation?
Outstanding
From where to buy those sticky tiles?
Do I need a vinyl primer if I’m going to use these on our concrete floor? Or can I just slap these tiles directly on the smooth concrete
You’ll get a better result if you use a latex primer for your concrete
@@CaraStrong13 appriciate that, thank you
Will this stick over a rubber floor on a semitruck?, thanks.
yes. its the adhesive that plays the important role but if your truck sits in the heat or humidity it will move. you might have to use a latex primer before laying them down.
Hey Bud people read you question and it sounds like it would work but knowing what you are talking about I say no way will that work as I know trucking and that floor if like all the ones I've seen isn't flat enough to stick to.

Can you use on adhesive on the backing if desired?
Yes you can use an adhesive. Don’t use too much. Make a zig zag pattern when place the adhesive on each tile.You can even space the tile out and grout it if you want to look like ceramic tile.
Just did my bathroom. 👍🏾
Can you use this on drywall?
I would recommend it.but paint your drywall with thinned down pva as a sealant ive dont this years ago with floor tiles and ppl thoght i was crrazy untill untill they saw it then it became a phase.like artex back in the 90s..
Hi, what type of glue should I use to repair some tiles that didn´t stick? :/
Liquid nails
Do not use liquid nails. The liquid nails and adhesive on the tile will produce an oil and won't stick.

Yes, we use these in rentals. The 18x18” peel and stick tile are much better. The small ones like in this video have a tendency to shift
I used Mastic Adhesive and it sticks very well.
Used it on rental too over vynil sheet, worked great for me.
