This product is highly inferior. We wasted a lot of money and time using this, and it was a big mistake to have bought it. This product is garbage. If you've already bought it and haven't installed it, don't install it. There are numerous problems with the product. 1. You will note a picture of a seal on the box, that says "H2O proof. There is NOTHING water proof about this product. 2. The linoleum is bonded to what appears to be a layer of burlap glued to particle board (more like cardboard) about 3/8 of an inch thick. After regular moping, the linoleum will unglue itself from the sub-straight. The tiles start to buckle around the edges. I've worked an area about 35 feet by 35 feet using this tile. It fades, the linoleum is inferior and will peel up. Water easily gets between the tiles and then under the tiles where it will eventually mold. My job is to replace the worst of these bad tiles. The product is so unstable, that you have to trim every piece to fit it in. It also appears to be unstable in that the linoleum seems to have shrunk on the replacement tiles we have. It is tedious trying to replace these, having to cut, chisel, sand or grind edges to fit in replacement tiles. Due to the buckling of so many tiles around the edges, we bought a small air compressor and high powered stapler, having to staple each buckling tile around the edges. Then you have the problem of having to pull out the staples when the tiles are shot. This means using vise grips or a grinder. Our tiles are laid on a plywood base, 3/4 inch PT plywood. If you could see how bad this tile ages in just two years since it was laid, you would never buy it.

I learned the trade from a Forbo master mechanic. I love Forbo products
