Easy cut and stick and look great too. I used this for the linen closet floor. Excuse the covered paper on top. We were painting as I took photos.

Easy
Installed in a small bathroom. It was meant to be a temporary floor after plumbing repairs until we decided on a bathroom remodel. It looks so good we will probably keep the floor now. It was very easy to cut, just score with a knife and snap it off. Very clean break every time. I cut these to 4"x12" and made a herringbone pattern. Looks very good and seems durable....only time will tell though. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a cheap alternative for a tile floor.

    This flooring is heavy, thick, and best of all TOUGH! No one can even tell it isn't tile. The installation was a lot cheaper and easier than tile with the same look. It has been easy to take care of so far and the grout is icing on the cake. I can't say enough to recommend it more. I dropped something heavy last night and my immediate thought was that it would have cracked tile flooring. No worries about that anymore!

    Nice for Beginners
    This will be TMI for some people but hopefully helpful for others Normally my job in home improvement projects is to "hold the flashlight" but I thought since this was basically applying stickers, I might have a shot. I had a mass-build vinyl floor that I put the tiles on top of. Here's what I learned: - I thought laying the tile would take 2-3 hours. It took 6. Plan snack breaks. When you get tired, take a break. The nice thing about this tile is that you don't have to keep going "because the sticky stuff will harden" because there is individual sticky stuff on each tile - These tiles are easy to cut. If you're like me, plan on having to try tricky cuts like around the toilet 2-3 times before it actually fits. Use a utility knife to make the cut, then bend to get it to go the rest of the way, rather than trying to cut twice and accidentally making another cut line - Lay out the tiles (with the paper covering the sticky part) before you start. There's maybe... 10? patterns of tile. If you just plop them down as they come out of the box, you're going to look like you have a zebra-striped floor. Try to form a picture with the grey veins on the tiles. If the tile to the left/above has veining, try to align your next tile you set down to have some veining in the same area. It makes it look a little less chaotic - Almost guaranteed, your walls are not straight. 1 of them will not be square. Choose which direction (N-S or E-W) you want to be straight and lay it down, then cut a sliver to fill in the gap next to the wall - Grout is not as hard as it seems. I used Fusion Pro in Delorean Grey and it's basically the same color as the veining on the tile. Originally I wanted a darker grout, but I think the matching is probably better, because if your grout lines aren't exactly even, it doesn't show as much. If it's too hard to remove the wood at the bottom of the floor, just use painters tape to tape around the outside so that you don't get the wood messy. I used the standard x plastic things in the grout section All in all, I'm pretty pleased to have been able to pretty up my guest bathroom floor for under $100. I just put it in so I can't speak to the longevity, but so far, I like the look of it!

      Stunning in Chevron Pattern - Amazing Transformation
      When my husband propossd cutting the tiles in half, i thought he was crazy. So glad i listened because a project under $100 with the tile, grout, spacers, and odds and ends made our dull bathroom look like a gem. Bonus is the room feels double the size with the pattern. Have more pictures of before and after. WARNING: We went with the grout recommended by home depot worker and it stained the floors and no amount of scrubbing removed - vinyl tile grout is needed instead. We had to use a vinyl tile stripper to remove the staining on the gentlest use and it worked! TIP: Stagger out your patterns to not duplicate and randomize for a more realistic look. We wish we did this. We love this tile so much, we plan on doing our adjoining kitchen and mudroom in this tile and pattern. Totally in love with this product!

        poor glue amounts
        Bought 4 boxes with 3 different run dates and all had different amounts of glue applied to the back. Needless to say half the flooring is lifting and will need extra glue.

        Hello damman - Thank you for the review and feedback on the TrafficMaster Carrara Marble 12" x 12" peel & stick tiles. The use of additional adhesive should not be needed for installation. Please be sure to review the installation guide under the Info & Guides section on the products webpage for proper subfloor preparation. Thank You.

          Looks great! Finally laid it out the other day and my bathroom looks phenomenal. I have an older house which I need to renovate one day but this was a perfect temporary fix to cover my current hallway bathroom floors. Excellent product, looks like the real thing.

          I purchased this product to cover an end table top for my daughter’s bedroom. She wanted marble but I just couldn’t justify purchasing actual marble. This was the perfect solution. It was super easy to place and score the excess for removal. Best of all, it looks beautiful and she loves it. Would definitely recommend and would purchase again!

          This is great quality compared to other brands I’ve purchased in the past. It’s durable , nice matte finish, and goodness the adhesive strong. Easy to cut I would recommend using a exactly knife and then breaking it apart. This really elevated my bathroom. I purchased 1 box and still have some squares leftover.

          Garbage
          Tiles hold dirt and cannot be cleaned as recommended by manufacturer. They are not durable and scratch easy. A complete waste of time and money.

            Take your time and you will be blown away!
            I was able to install this flooring over a weekend in a medium sized bathroom ~50 sqft. The floor was very easy to cut but getting the shape around the toilet correct took a couple attempts. I initially tried to lay the tiles right next to eachother (no grout) but it looked tacky. I opted to buy a quart of pre-mixed sanded white grout and spaced the tiles with 1/8” leave in spacers (although you have to remove before grouting due to tile height). To the naked eye, the results look like real tile. The only prep work i did was to clean the underlying tile floor. The grout helps keep the tiles in place even if the sticky backing is not perfect. I hightly recommend this for a quick and inexpensive makeover! Total cost including tools was under $100! ($50 tile, $11 grout, $3.50 spacers, $20 misc tools sponges bucket).

              Hard project, great outcome
              First and foremost, this herringbone project was time consuming and took some effort. Cut 12x12 Carrara Marble peel and stick vinyl tiles to 3x12. Arranged pattern to my liking using 1/8 leave in tile spacers (remove before grouting!!!!) that I cut to t and straight line pieces with a cutter, as seen in photos. Laying tile was easy but there were some pieces that did not adhere well and either had to use a different piece or caulk down. Used Fusion Pro artic white grout afterwards. This grout is different to use at first but follow directions and make sure to mix well first (my early troubles stopped after thorough mixing) and it becomes quite easy.

                Looks amazing , used this tile as a border.
                Is there a sealer that can be used on this tile? Why does it have a yellowish tint.

                  Beautiful Tiles
                  These tiles were an inexpensive, easy and beautiful upgrade to my floor. The installation was really easy, I used an exacto knife to cut the tiles. It only took about 5 hours to lay them all out, arrange accordingly, then peel and stick to the floor of a large room with 2 walk in closets. They even feel nice to walk on barefoot. I used about 9 boxes.

                    Looks great and is very simple to install
                    I put the tiles directly on the existing vinyl sheet and they stuck very well to the vinyl. Not having to use mortar, grout and an electric saw was great. It was easy to cut with a razor. I did not grout between the tiles but after viewing others’ photos, I should have! Either way, they look great for being such an affordable alternative to tile.

                      Yes!Yes!People!
                      Super easy to install and cut. Used this in a small bathroom DIY project to cover dated 12x12 ceramic tile. What an inexpensive way to completely change the look of a bathroom! I used white caulking for the tiniest bit of space in between some of the tiles as I'm not a fan of grout. I love this look.

                        Super quick and easy, beautiful upgrade
                        I had existing laminate that I didn’t want to pull up so I put this on top. It is amazing! It has a great, warm feeling texture and flows really well. Way easy to lay. In most places I was able to just use scissors and in others I used a utility knife. Excellent for a cheap but uplifting update!

                          Yes, it does take quite a while to install, but it works! My bathroom looks like it got an amazing face lift for $60! It does scuff easily with the white color I chose, but of course I was asking for it with white. I am very happy with the purchase

                            Awful!
                            This stuff is absolutely awful. I only leave very positive reviews and the few negative reviews are because a product is shockingly terrible. This flooring looks quite good but don't walk on it. Definitely don't put it in a house that has a child or dog or cat. It seems to collect and show dust, dirt, or anything as if it was intentionally forced to look dirty. It has this terrible texture that really traps in every footstep. Mopping it is a huge chore because you have to scrub it from every direction in order to unclog that weird textured surface. And it seems to be a waste to mop as it just seems to soak up and display filth. And we're clean people! Next problem, The tiles started lifting up after two months! Just two months! We're now worried water from each daily mopping has been getting underneath and molding. We'll be trying to get our money back and then putting in the hard labor of installing tile. DO NOT BUY!!

                              Great product! Placed over subfloor in our master bathroom. We used the recommended primer on the floor before laying the tile. If you lookup TrafficMaster Peel and Stick Groutable Tile on google there is a great and very informative DIY video. Get all the items the video recommends- we used them all! You will spend most this project laying the tiles out and making the appropriate cuts. We used a dark gray pre-mixed grout so there is a nice contrast and the application was very simple. This product is well worth the money! We used 3.5 boxes for our medium size bathroom including the closet. It looks great and just like a ceramic tile. Make sure to make any cuts on a piece of wood as it makes it a lot easier and it will cut the tile if your knife scores the tile accidentally.

                                  cheap and easy installation
                                  The tiles look great and went down fairly easy. The only issue is that the grout (that was recommended by HD Staff) stained the tile. I followed the instrustions exactly. Wiped it down after. Still trying to get the haze off. I jave tried everything! It makes the tiles look dirty. But on the other side it kind of blends in if you dont look too closely.

                                      Looks great, but not super sticky
                                      I redid the flooring in one of my bathrooms, it took 1 box and 2 tiles from another box. I applied over a clean title, but the flooring wouldn't stick to this, so I added an extra adhesive and grouted around the edges. I would highly recommend grouting, I used a grey pre-mixed, it was like an extra $10 for the tube, but grouting just makes it look so much more finished. It took about 5 hours to do finish this room. I would definitely recommend and am planning on doing my other bathroom floor the same and then doing another peel and stick in the kitchen!
