Has anyone ever tried or installed non-adhesive vinyl flooring?

I want to buy vinyl flooring for my kitchen. When I went to Lowe's they had an armstrong non-adhesive vinyl flooring. Supposedly, you just tape down the vinyl at the seems, in front of entryways, one strip in the middle, and an X under big appliances. No glue adhesive needed. I'm a little worried that this won't work. The flooring man said that the suction cup backing holds the vinyl in place and that it works well. Anyone have any ideas or advice?Has anyone ever tried or installed non-adhesive vinyl flooring?
I fit this stuff every day. I use a vinyl spray adhesive. (watch out for flammable machinery, like boilers, they can cause fires with the spray adhesive, if your not sure use the double sided tape). I spray the edges only for small areas, but for large areas (over 10 SQM) I spray glue the whole floor (a couple of cans). I would say get a professional in to do it. Look at the back of a local paper and get a few quotes off the local tradesmen. The final look will look much better, and you won't have to wake up every morning looking at your mistakes and wishing you'd spent that 拢60 getting a professional inHas anyone ever tried or installed non-adhesive vinyl flooring?
It does ';work'; but, I really wouldn't call it a long term solution. If your a little tight for cash right now, go with this, it works. But its life span usually isn't very long (a few years). If you can afford it now or further on down the road get the proper, real tile flooring. It does cost more but the life span and look will last for so much longer.
Might be better off getting a pro to install it.


Most of these vinyl's are called perimeter spread. You spread the glue around the perimeter %26amp; the rest is liks a suction. Seems are never a good idea with vinyl, you might want to put the seem together with contace cement %26amp; buy a bottle of seem sealer which you could get at lowes
