It has been 7 months since I remodeled the bathroom. If you don't remember what it looked like before, check out this post.
Before installing the peel and stick floor tiles, I was curious as to how it would hold up. So I thought I would share with others my own experience with them. A few things to note with this bathroom - it is our basement bathroom, but don't let that fool you. This space gets used like any other bathroom in our home. The floor has not received any sort of special treatment so this is a real life scenario. This bathroom is home to the cat litterbox so the flooring does take some abuse, and it also serves as the main bathroom next to my husband's office, which sees some traffic.
The result? Still looks as good as the day it was installed! I have not seen any ripped tiles or signs of wear. There is one tile that has started peeling up, but I will mention that this was likely to victim of user error. When I first installed the tiles, I had a bad habit of starting to apply to sticker and then deciding it wasn't perfectly straight and peeled it back up before it was fully pressed down to start over. This tile in particular was repositioned more than once, and I believe this corner is the spot that I lifted in order to reposition.
Overall I'm happy with the outcome. I would definitely do it all over again if needed. I like that the solution is not permanent so that if I change my mind I can remove everything.
One more thing - I have not excessively washed this flooring. Meaning it has been swept and spot cleaned with a damp rag, but I haven't used a wet mop on the entire floor. I will admit that within the first week of installing the floor my son peed all over it, which I cleaned up right away, but I was pleasantly surprised that none of those stickers had any issues.
Would you try using a peel and stick floor tiles or just go with the real deal?
