Tile floor for home?

Question

Is laying the self stick tile good for a kitchen

Answer 1

As tactfully as I can put it, self-stick tile is about as cheap-a$$ as you can get for a kitchen (or bathroom) floor. What little bit you might save in the short term will have you tearing your hair out in the long run.

If you want to go "cheap and easy", don't settle for less than a good hard-finished linoleum or vinyl that can cover the floor in one piece.

For a classier touch, there is a wide range of SEALED tile in many sizes, shapes, and color for most any budget. Non-sealed works, too, but most sealants take a LONG time to cure and few people want to go without a kitchen for days and smell the fumes for weeks.

Either way you go, don't overlook a fresh layer of levelling compund. Even the best houses settle and shift over time and no one wants for a spill to get back under the cabinets where it can't be cleaned up.

Answer 2

as a permanent thing no.
it's great for a quick easy fix, like if you don't plan on staying there.
but nowadays, tile is just as cheap as the sticky tiles. Go with real tile!

You'd be much happier in the long run!

Answer 3

From personal experience, I don't reccomend them in ANY room. If one tile gets chipped or cracked, any little bit of water gets under it, your doomed!
