By Cathy Mercer


Peel and stick vinyl tiles have a large following. Many people, when they are looking into doing something for their floors, think about this do it yourself task. Some of them are aware of their ability to do this and their budget is such that it just makes sense to beautify some of their rooms this way.

These are available in varying sizes of packaging. They are easy to install with a little preparation and planning, however, there are firms who can come in and provide this service. The types of projects, around the house, that can accomplished with this media will be limited by your imagination and nothing else.

People use these tiles on their floors in areas where a good mopping is necessary from time to time. These rooms will include the kitchen, bath room and utility areas. The ability to provide a firm, easily cleanable surface will assist in housekeeping and will still present a nice looking surface.

Many of the walls you have in your house will benefit from these colorful tiles. These vinyl surfaces have the color and or designs deep within them so fading does not happen. Bathroom, utility room walls as well as back door areas can be coated and made to welcome people as well as the beauty you already have in these spaces.

Not to be outdone, other people have used these tiles on the ceilings in rooms that must be deep cleaned on a frequent basis. These will usually be the bath rooms and areas where grease vapors, like the kitchen, is not a big issue. Utility rooms, children areas and back door mud rooms will be a few of these. The flexibility of these are such that they can be placed anywhere there is a clean surface to attach them.

These can be used to brighten up a pet area or making an old dresser or chest of drawers a little brighter and, certainly, more cleanable. They clean up easily and the only requirement is that the old surface already be as clean as possible and free from grease or any oily substances. That bench in the garage can also be made to look brand new and ready for the next project.

Measuring the space or item to be tiled will begin the project. Lay them out on the surface to determine placement and cutting requirements. The cutting can be done with shears or strong scissors. Starting in the absolute middle of the surface, peel the backing from the first tile and lay it down in the pattern you have decided. Working across the area, laying tile next to tile, complete the course and move up or down to complete the next run.

Finishing that project will probably require the trimming of any excess tile material. Use heavy scissors or shears and cut carefully. When installing on a wall, floor or on the ceiling, the tiles that need to be cut will be cut before installing the last course or run. The addition of weight on the surface will ensure proper adhesion. This is a very easy method of budget conscious decorating. Peel and stick vinyl tiles will last for many years with basic maintenance and will continue to provide beauty and durability all of that time.
