Self Adhesive Tiles?

[Eric Barnett]

Looking to do a quick job and change floors in a multi, thought about pulling up old linoleum in bathroom and kitchen and wanted to put tiles down but looking for something relatively easy and cost effective.  Any bad or good experiences with this type of tile or re-flooring process?  Has anyone ever put these down over an existing floor such as prior tiles that are scratched or stained from past use.

I'd steer clear of peel and stick tiles. What's the number one thing that causes damage to a house? Water! If you use typical 12x12 peel and sticks, you're giving water ample opportunity to penetrate your top layer and get to your subfloor because of all of the seams.. I'm not a fan of traditional vinyl flooring, but at least it covers the entire floor without a grid of seams.

I know you don't want to hear it, but bite the bullet and hire a tile setter to come in and install some budget friendly ceramic or porcelain. Most bathrooms are under 50sf, so it shouldn't set you back that much. It will pay off in the long run as the initial cost of tile will be a fraction of what you'll pay a contractor to come in and replace rotted subfloor.
