We installed vinyl tile and it is popping up everywhere. Been less than 6 mos. What are my best options?

Question

FYI...This was peel and stick tiles.. not glue. And we had this type down for years before with no such problem. and many tiles have loose edges now.

Answer 1

I dont think every last one would be coming up. So Id try to glue them down using Latex tile adhesive applied with a grooved trowel tool very thinly. Lift them up even slightly and get that adhesive under there thinly Water and wet rag clean up on the excess so thats easy to take care of. Once you get the trouble ones glued down with that Latex tile adhesive your problem will go away.

Buy the Latex Tile adhesive at Lowes.

Answer 2

I have put down right much vinyl tile and with the info you gave me, could be two things.....1sometimes why tile pops up like that is you could have a bad moisture problem...if moisture is coming from under your house it will do it seen it a few times ...go under house and look....if moistures there you will need to put plastic under there......2did you use right glue...make sure right glue was used and it it was did you let glue dry to touch before putting it down...common mistake is people spread glue then start laying it before moisture leaves...if thats the case tile will never adhere correctly....hope this helps......

Answer 3

Either the tile was no good or you forgot to get up all the dust before you put the tile down or the underlayment wood you put down was not the proper wood or propery prepared.Not much you can do now except scrape them all up & do it all over again.Good luck.

Answer 4

Rip it up and get real tile or wood floors. YOu can re-glue it but it will keep coming up..

shop around for good deals on ceramic tiles and re-do it.
