How would self adhesive floor tiles do n an enviornment where they could get wet like laundry room or basement

i am wanting to put down flooring in the basement. especially where my washer and dryer are. i hate walking on the bare concrete. i know that these types of tiles are ideal for going ontop of clean concrete floors. but will they be ok if they get wet? from an over filled washer or a leaky basement?How would self adhesive floor tiles do n an enviornment where they could get wet like laundry room or basement
I had self-stick vinyl tile that the previous owners put in my basement, and it was awful. The basement's dry, but individual tiles would pop up at the corners, or come up all together, sometimes in the middle of the room.





I'd also suggest that you don't use real hardwood in your laundry room. My swells and contracts so much from the heat and moisture of the washer and dryer that it's warped. I've had it trimmed, etc. but my flooring guy says the best thing to do is replace it with tile.





If you're looking for an inexpensive solution, why not try one of the new epoxy floor coatings made for garages? They have numerous colors and patterns available, and it won't hurt if they get wet.How would self adhesive floor tiles do n an enviornment where they could get wet like laundry room or basement
No , self stick will not hold up here.


Self stick actually is not a favorite method for me. The only way to use self stick is on a sealed wood floor. By sealed I mean take 50% denatured alcohol and 50% shellac and roll on your new underlayment. Let dry - repeat.


Now self stick tile will really stick well to this.


For concrete get commercial vinyl tile 1/8'; thick and an epoxy adhesive. - Allow plenty of ventilation. apply adhesive according to directions. Set tile -


You will not be able to remove this tile easily for any reason - and water now and then won't hurt it or cause it to come loose.


Good Luck
Absolutely not! While they might stay put for a while, ( maybe a year) they will soon cause you a great headache. I had peel and stick tiles in a laundry room of a house I bought. They were coming up and moving all over the place - even cracking. Peel and stick tiles are good for areas that don't receive any moisture. Your best bet is a decent porcelain or ceramic tile. I have laid both and once you get the hang of cutting the tile it is actually fairly easy and it will last really long time. Ceramic cuts easier than porcelain but porcelain doesn't absorb any water. Whatever you do I wouldn't recommend peel and stick in a laundry room.
