PEEL AND STICK FLOOR that looks like REAL hardwood! | SMALL ENTRYWAY MAKEOVER-PART 1

[@patriciadehoag6261]

Did you use a sticky base to help stick? How did you get it to stick to the particle board? I tried on my particle board and the tiles kept falling off.

[@MadeBetterHome]

Try heating them with a blow dryer! Sometimes the glue needs some help warming up. I just held a blow dryer on heat over the top of them in a few spots and it worked! I didn’t realize this until after the video had gone out. Also, you can use super glue or vinyl adhesive available at Home Depot or Lowe’s etc.

[@elwood212]

If the adhesive glue isn’t enough prep yr floor with a primer or do a moisture check to see if they are absorbing moisture. Failing that buy a can of vinyl adhesive or plain contact adhesive.

​@@MadeBetterHome Any time! & thanks, we're doing really well over here. We've been very fortunate in all the craziness of the last year.

[@irisgraeber2684]

Thanks for a great video that makes this look so easy. You did a great job on the floor and the video. The reason why peel and stick tile doesn't last all that long (2-3 years in a heavily used area with dogs, IME) is because dirt and water gets down between the cracks and the tiles begin to drift and peel up. To make it last longer and be impervious to moisture and dirt, I'd coat the top of the floor with 2-3 coats of matte (or whatever gloss level you prefer) polycrylic varnish and refresh that from time to time as needed to continue the protection. Either that, or if you're laying a tile-look floor, use grout between the tiles to hold them in place and seal the cracks between tiles.

[@teresaewers8522]

[@kathykov1]

Do you think it's possible to apply the tile to a textured floor? I work in a space that originally had office carpet glued to the floor. The carpet was removed and was left with a textured floor that was painted over. Its horrible and chips. Eventually the floor will get flooring, but right now it's embarrassing.

[@MadeBetterHome]

@@kathykov1 Hmmmm. Good question! Honestly, if it were me, I'd spend the 15 bucks to test the tiles to see if they stick! You can also get vinyl adhesive on amazon or home depot etc, and it will help it adhere. I can't be certain without seeing your floor, but I definitely think its worth testing to see what you can make work!

[@MadeBetterHome]

@@kathykov1 Also, if you try them, use a blow dryer to heat them up when you lay them down...it'll warm up the glue and make them EXTRA sticky!

Wow that looks amazing! Do you think these would adhere well to concrete floors?

[@MadeBetterHome]

Hmmm. I THINK so! Its worth the $15 box to test it out! If the floors are cold while you're installing, make sure to heat the area up with a space heater and hold a blow dryer over the tiles once you've laid them to warm up the glue a bit and then press them down. You can also get vinyl floor adhesive or even super glue and try that?

Ooooo I bet! It’s worth the $15 a box to test it! Of course I can’t recommend anything I’ve not tried myself but I would be all over trying it in the right space. I probably wouldn’t put it in an area that gets a lot of water, like a sink back splash etc, but maybe as an accent wall? I dunno! Fun to think about and I legit would try it because if it failed I would only be out $15. Of you try it let me know!

this is NOT renter friendly. maybe it depends on the quality of the tile, but previous tenant did this in the laundry room with some questionable design choice. i hate them, my landlord hates them. he said i could do whatever. oh boy, they damaged the cushion floor under it so badly and the glue caused the floor underneath it to discolour. NOT RENTER FREINDLY

[@MadeBetterHome]

Might be the particular tile used, but THIS tile IS renter friendly. I’ve used it in 2 rentals now and removed it with ease and left it in the other because the landlord loved it. That’s my experience, but with all things, do at your own risk and discretion :)
