Coastal Grey 12 in. x 24 in. Vinyl Tile Flooring (29 sq. ft. / case)

I love this floor, I can’t believe it’s discontinued! I installed the floor as part of my mother’s bathroom renovation, and it came out beautiful! Everyone thought it was real tile, especially because of the grout lines. It was very easy to install, cut, and grout! It’s a shame it is discontinued, please bring it back!

I bought 4 boxes of this tile for a laundry room. The tiles look nicer than the typical vinyl and appear like more expensive ceramic, especially when grouted. I cut them down to 6x24 planks fairly easily by scoring and snapping them in half. The finished edges are beveled slightly, so if you're going to cut them know that the cut edge won't look the same (this wasn't an issue for me since I was going to cover the edges with grout anyways). I'm very pleased with the finished product and would buy again.

love the durability of it - the color and the warmth of the vinyl tile on feet -vs- cold marble tile no contest - vinyl wins!

Must read, its long but worth reading if you’re considering this tile! I purchased this Coastal Grey vinyl tile online without seeing it in person, based on reviews and pictures. It is a little lighter than thought, not super dark gray, but still liked it. They are thick tiles and I love the feel of them. Now, as far as installing them. We did it ourselves in our small kitchen. We had to lay new ¼ inch subflooring over the existing floor that had glue residue from the old linoleum we removed. So with that nailed down we made sure to remove debris and laid the tiles leaving 1/8 spacing for grout. The tiles are easy to cut with a utility knife. The glue was excessive and got EVERYWHERE. You could pick up your tools just by touching them after 3 tiles and that was just by touching the corners to lay them down. We had to stop a couple times and clean our hands. The boxes of tile went right from my car to the house so they were not left outside in warm temperatures. But yes, the glue was on the sides of the tiles/paper right out of the box. After they were all down I used Goof Off and cleaned the glue off the tiles. Then I went right on to grouting. I opted for the silver pre-mixed grout. I had never grouted before, and probably should have tried this in a closet or something instead of my kitchen. Live and learn. Once I got the hang of it, it was ok. I only did a little at a time because it dries really fast and you have to get that off the tiles. I tried using a sponge but I couldn’t master that as it kept leaving streaks even after rinsing so I ended up actually using paper towels, lots of them. The grout left some haze in some spots that I cleaned up the next day with some cleaner. I was very please, grout looked great. Fast forward a month…it cracked and it was dirty, like black lines. When I thought it was just dirt and tried to clean it, it was glue. The glue came up between the tile and grout, cracking the grout, yea, and its mostly in the center and by the sink (the most heavily traveled areas). I removed the glue and am keeping an eye on it to see if more glue comes up and will probably end up re-grouting. In hindsight I should have done the darker grout, not liking the dirty look either. THEN: we have a really small 3x5 half bath in the entry way to remodel so we did the same tile (I ordered 6 boxes to do the kitchen and both bathrooms). We left the 1/8 grout spacing. This time I used Q-tips to really clean excess glue around all the edges of the tile and let is sit for 24 hours before I grouted it. I used the dorlean gray pre-mixed grout this time because I’m not fighting that light grout again. Turned out great and no glue has come up even after setting the toilet and sink and I’m hoping it doesn’t at all since this room isn’t used very much. I will not be using this in the big bathroom however because of this issue, I’m going with sheet vinyl. I really love the look and feel of it this tile but the glue is a problem.

A year later, these tiles are VERY scratched up. Even with pads under all the furniture, they get scratched chair movement and everyday foot traffic. The tiles looked excellent when we first installed them in the kitchen (and later, in the lower-traffic bathroom). But now they look seriously scuffed up and I'm looking at how to replace. Don't waste your time with this product; you'll regret it in a year.

This product looks great even close up. I put it down in my laundry room last year and most recently in my bathroom where I wanted the tiles to match the tiles in the shower. The tiles in the laundry room still look great. I grouted both with Simple Grout (pre-mixed grout) Delorean Gray. The colors in the tile are true greys.

I installed this flooring in my small kitchen a little over a year ago, without grout. I was pleased that the tile was thicker than the kind of "peel-n-stick" tile that I had used previously in other projects. A year later, I still love the floor. It is easy to clean, everyone thinks its real tile. I was a little concerned with the tile moving over time, and the only place I can see that it has, is where it fits under the basement door, because there is no tile next it to keep it in place. But I was able to pull it up and glue it to the floor and it has been just fine ever since.

I was afraid I wouldn't like the color so I only ordered 1 box. I love it but when I went to order the rest it was sold out again. So when I went to the store they charges me $8.00 more a box. That really sucks it isn't my fault it was out of so I pay it or have a small bathroom that has 1/2 this bathroom done. So even though I am in love with the product I'm not sure I would order on line again. I am hoping the rest get here in a couple of days.

My husband installed this in our kitchen and half bath. Installation was a breeze (he used a hot blade to cut it out areas around cabinets, ect.) I hate to admit it would not recommend this floor if you have any animals and it's in a high traffic area. We have three dogs and flooring in the kitchen has white scratch it in already. Also, it is very hard to get to stay clean. The floor constantly feels dirty and any mark you see on it immediately. One mistake we made is relying on the adhesive on the tile. We made sure that the surface under where the floor was going was free of dust and debris and less then a month later the edges were starting to stick up and the grout broke. I would recommend using an additional adhesive so it doesn't happen to you. The flooring in our half bath looks great because it is not used that often. I don't really like to complain about products and it's beautiful but we will be ripping this out and replacing it with tile.

These tiles are an outstanding product. They are by far the easiest way to breathe life into old floors. I inherited a tiny kitchen in New York City with an outdated linoleum floor. Tearing it up and replacing it with ceramic was prohibitively expensive. In a few hours, these tiles gave me a brand new floor that updates the entire space. I opted not to bother with grout -- it's such a tiny space that the extra effort didn't seem worth it. I couldn't be happier with the results. (See before and after pictures.) I've also used these tiles for the bottom of a closet. Looking forward to using them in my next project!
