Answer 1

Hi,

I've recently answered this Q a few times.

CLEAN,clean, clean, surface first.

I won't take a job usually, where the customer opts for peel and stick, but I have in the past. The Customer is always right,,,even when they aren't No offense.

My latest answers have been this.

There is sold a water based contact cement. Du Pont may be one manufacturer? I but it in gallons, commercially, and the color is often a nice looking Aqua.

My thoughts about it are this. First of all it has less of an offensive or toxic odor. It cleans up with water, if attended to in a reasonable amount of time.IE: cleaning hands/ brushes/ rollers/ OOOPS/ and when dry has the same effect and durability of the lacquer based, most often used on formica laminating.

The application process is the same in either. Brush or roll the sub surface; brush or roll each piece of peel and stick; allow dry time; and press down.

The DOWN side might be that your planning and execution should be pretty tightly defined, as you won't be able to fix your own OOOPS by just peeling back up.

It was recommended once to me to buy some 3M spray adhesive and hit the bottom of the tiles before sticking. It worked fine. I also had did them in a 1/2 bath without the adhesive and that was fine as well. It's pretty much up to you but the extra adhesive won't hurt and the spray can was about 8 bucks at HD.

if you mean peel and stick floor tiles,they stick great! No need to add extra glue.

Answer 4

They work great and go down easily if you do have any seams that look like they need attention, put something heavy there til it sticks. Unfortunately we thought we needed an underlayment and we used some thin stuff and it worked great for several years and then the screw marks underneath began to show. Also we have dogs so mopping is an everyday thing-and I notice the seams 'hooving' but that is because of the underlayment we used.

Answer 5

They will for a year or so. Make sure that you seal them to prevent any water from getting under there. High traffic areas may pose a problem also. I wished that I went with solid linoleum instead of those tiles.

Answer 6

I did a kitchen 6 years ago I had to replace three. I didn' use any other mastic they were Armstrong tiles. a lot depends on the surface your going to use them on it has to be clean and grease free.

Answer 7

They will stick fine if the surface is clean and flat,,But those tiles are so....uh , lame! White trailer trash lame!
