Usually found in 9" x 9" or 12" x 12" tiles, 1/8" thick, in a number of different colors. On wood floors, the tile is laid over felt lining using a paste adhesive and then rolled with a large roller to smooth the finish and bond the tile to the felt and subfloor.
Consider the following when selecting a quality:
Color: Products with embossed colors are low quality, while products with solid coloring throughout are high quality.
Pattern: Marbleized and plain patterns are low quality, and simulated brick and stone patterns are high quality.
Thickness: Sizes vary from 1/8" T (low) to 3/8" T (high).
Material Grade: Asphalt and vinyl composition tile materials (low to average) are less than solid vinyl and rubber tile materials (good to high).
Underlayment: Use a higher quality for floor covers that are laid on underlayment installed on wood, concrete, or metal subfloor.
Coving/Topset Base: Use a higher quality for coved perimeters and topset base molding.
