is this similar to linoleum tiles, I am not used to this product at all, does it have a glue on them, how to lay them down-in patterns?

Sort of, yes. They are "peel and stick," and have plenty of glue on the back side. You just peel the paper backing off and place the plank on the floor. There is a very - VERY - convincing wood grain pattern, complete with knots and texture. There are arrows on the paper backing so you can place the planks all facing in the right direction. Having said that, I mistakingly put some planks with the arrows facing the opposite way but you can't tell the difference. Note, however, these are not like the cheap "peel and stick" tiles you find at Wal-Mart. They are thick but trim easily with an exacto-knife or carpet knife. They are vinyl, like the stuff you hang on you house, so you know these planks are durable and tough. Highly recommended.

It is a peel and stick tile with some flexibility. I would recommend a staggered pattern. We started with a full tile in row one and then cut the first tile in the second row in half and laid that, it gives it a more natural wood floor look. The easiest way to remember the pattern is odd rows have full tiles, even rows have half tiles.

Yes it is similar to linoleum tile. This product has a adesive on them and is very sticky and once put down they are very hard to remove. On the package there is a diagrahm on they are supposed to laid.

This is a gloss tile. These tiles are super easy to work with and after doing a great deal of homework were a great deal. A year later they still look fantastic!

You can give your tiles a more sturdier feel by 'painting' them with watered down white glue. I've done this a few times and my friends prefer them this way.

Rebecca, that is not what its intended to do. BUT Rustoleum has a great product called, Tile Transformations...I am preparing to use it on my tile kitchen counters and backsplash after using their Deck Restore this summer that saved me thousands of dollars in porch and deck replacement. They have come up with some great products for DIY folks. Go to the Rustoleum.com website and get the skinny on your tile backsplash. Or you can give them a call, their folks are really helpful. Any of their products take time (but little skill). I think you will be pleased...and no, I don't work for them, but sure do recommend them.

Sorry for the late response. Yes, I think this will work for linoleum, but this would put you on your hands and knees for a long time, unless it's a small floor area to clean. Is this for linoleum squares that have actual grout between them, or printed linoleum that only looks like tiles, but the "grout' areas are also linoleum? Is it simply dirt you want to remove, or mildew? I think for floors, you might want to look for a spray on cleanser that would do most of the work so that you just have to wipe with an abrasive mop. Check out the Libman No Knees Floor Scrub or the Casabella Flex Neck Tub-n-Tile Scrubber with Extendable Pole. You can probably find similar tools for even cheaper with more time to search. Are you concerned about toxicity/green cleaning? Concrobium is supposed to be good for mildew, and green according to Environmental Working Group, but I haven't tried it myself.

Yes, the tiles I received had "crinkles" all over as well which was surprising since I purchased these same tiles about 7 years ago from Armstrong and they were smooth which is why I purchased another set for another area of the house. Bought them anyway as they are very decorative.

We put the carpet tiles on top of old linoleum in a small closet. They had plenty of stickiness for that. However, because the tiles are so light weight, I wouldn't hold out much hope for a satisfying, permanent, useable solution if they're applied on top of padding. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Hi JadeThis tile includes a mix of browns and beiges glass. The stone is travertine and emperador dark marble. I would recommend ordering a sample to see how it responds to your lighting. Tile can be finicky much like wall paint depending on the room.CheersColin WhartonRocky Point Tile

I did a little research and I would have to say, don't do it yourself. Go to or call a tileing store (Tile America) and get some professional answers. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I installed mine over my existing linoleum with no issues. Just be sure to clean it really well and let it dry completely first. Mine turned out beautiful!

I was kind of worried about that too. They are indeed grouted well and it's like a silicone type of grout that cleans easily and looks great!It looks like typical grout you see and use on tile but has a silicone feel that makes cleaning easy. Perfect for a kitchen table. I love my table and get lots of compliments on it. Sorry for the late response

There is nothing on the package that would indicate this product is safe to use on linoleum. The manufacturer's number listed on the packaging is 951-256-3040. I would call and ask them if it's safe, or if they have another product that is safe.

You can hammer them down but you can't have any dirt because you will be able to feel it... This vinyl tile is not lined up all the same. It became frustrating to to keep it lined up but I still layed it down... You can't really tell unless you really pay attention to the misaligned lines...

make sure surface is completely dry, I used a cotton rag, about an hour to dry, put a droplet of water on tile, if stands up it is ready, some areas may need 2 coats, i onlu used one coat, hence i have these left over, regards jane harper

My kitchen floor is plain old linoleum. I was VERY disappointed with this mop. It doesn't wring out dry enough to make difference on the floor. All you are left with is VERY wet floor.

i dont have any but it is fine on hard wood and tile. i imagine it would be fine on linoleum.

The bottom is made of very hard plastic. The bottom has a bunch of hollow circles that stick out the same as tile has pieces that stick out so that glue can be used to hold it to the floor.
