How To Install The Tiles

The tiles are peel-and-stick, so they are incredibly easy to install, even for those with no previous experience installing floors.

The first step is to thoroughly clean your sub-floor, which is the bottom-most structure of the floor (mostly likely plywood). You will then need to ensure you have a leveled surface.  Simply remove the sticker from the back of the plank. Then, press the plank down and ensure it sticks firmly.

It is important to note that the flooring is considered permanent. While the tiles can be removed, it will not be particularly easy. The adhesive on the tiles will likely leave a sticky residue on the previous flooring.

Benefits and Cautions

The tiles are one of the most popular flooring items on Amazon, with a rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars and more than 900 reviews. Most reviewers say the tiles are quick and easy to install, stick well and are of good quality.

One reviewer said that they were hesitant to buy flooring online, but are thrilled with the purchase, mentioning that it took just a few hours to install. Of course, the installation time depends on the size of the room you’re using the flooring for, so it will vary.

There are a few negative reviews. They mostly complain that the colors they wanted, based on a sample pack purchase, were no longer available. Some also say the samples came unlabeled. There are also other issues, like the planks lifting up at the seams. Keep in mind that installation is likely the key to making the tiles work correctly, so it is important to follow directions.

It is also a good idea to order more than one box at a time, but also make sure you measure multiple times to ensure you’re purchasing the correct amount. Shipping is free. However, if you order too many or the wrong color and have to return the tiles because they don’t work for you, you will have to pay return shipping costs — and the boxes of tiles weigh 41 pounds apiece.
